This special session is rooted in something personal — a dream Bechori once wrote in his own list of 100 wishes: “Teach a workshop in Toronto.” After this wish was brought to our attention and his visit to Canada was confirmed, we were inspired to create a workshop centered on the idea of writing down our wishes, and the quiet magic that happens when we do. We shared the concept with Bechori, and thankfully, he was all for it!
In this reflective and inspiring class, you’ll be guided through the process of writing your own “100 Wishes” list - a journaling tradition often found in Japanese planners. We’ll break your list into thoughtful categories to make the process feel meaningful, approachable, and even a little bit playful. Once complete, you’ll transform your wishes into a visual keepsake that captures your mindset and intentions moving into 2026 and beyond.
There’s something quietly powerful about the act of writing down a wish - how that simple gesture can plant a seed, set things in motion, and gently invite the unexpected to unfold.
But the magic continues well beyond the workshop. We’ll create a special hashtag and online space for the Year of 100 Wishes, so you can share those moments when a wish comes true, and connect with others as their dreams begin to unfold too.
*Materials provided include:
- Bechori’s “100 Wishes” worksheet
- Personalized name card
- Traveler’s Company notebook (Passport Size) x 1
- A collection of decorative supplies to decorate your list for shared use
- A selection of pens and markers for shared use
