Building With Intention: Join Us at Matawana Dispensary’s Vision Into Reality Community Event
At Silly Nice, we believe cannabis is bigger than products on a shelf. It’s culture, craft, education, and community—all moving together. That’s why we’re proud to be part of Vision Into Reality, a community-centered activation happening tomorrow at 2 PM at Matawana Dispensary in Brooklyn.
Hosted as part of Matawana’s annual Vision Into Reality program, this event is open to the public and designed to create space for reflection, learning, and real-world resource building. The focus isn’t retail or promotion. It’s about helping people think clearly about what they’re building—and how to do it sustainably.
A Day Built Around Growth, Not Hype
This year’s Vision Into Reality program blends creativity with practical tools for the community. The experience is intentionally calm and collaborative, more classroom and circle than retail floor. It’s a space for curiosity, connection, and shared learning.
The day is structured around two connected experiences that move from vision into action.
Part I: Vision Board Community Gathering
The first portion of the event invites participants to slow down and reflect. Through a guided vision board session, attendees will explore their goals for 2026 and visualize what they’re building—personally, professionally, or creatively.
This portion is open to everyone, including creatives, wellness practitioners, and early-stage entrepreneurs. It’s about clarity, intention, and creating space to think before rushing into the next step.
Part II: Grants & Funding Readiness Lab
The second half of the program focuses on turning ideas into something tangible. The Grants & Funding Readiness Lab is designed for new and emerging LLC owners, community organizers, and creatives who are beginning to formalize their work.
Participants will receive support in:
Identifying potential grant opportunities
Clarifying mission and purpose
Understanding foundational legal and funding pathways
A legal representative from CJEI will be present to provide general guidance around organizational structure and grant readiness. The goal is to make these systems feel more accessible, not overwhelming.
Hash Education Rooted in Craft and Transparency
Alongside the Vision Into Reality programming, Matawana is hosting a hash education component that aligns with the intentional tone of the day. This is not about selling—it’s about learning.
Silly Nice will be in the building alongside Pot & Head, NY Honey, and Spacebuds to share knowledge around hash-making and craft cannabis.
Each brand will offer a brief educational overview of their process, including insights into cultivation, extraction, and curing practices. For us, transparency and education are essential to building trust and advancing New York’s cannabis culture the right way.
Who This Event Is For
Vision Into Reality is designed for:
Local creatives and cultural workers
Wellness practitioners
Early-stage entrepreneurs and LLC owners
Community members invested in growth, learning, and intention
If you’re building something—or thinking about starting—this space is for you.
