SK Creator Brunch 2026: A day of reflection, of being creatively reborn, and brewing just the right energy

Social Ketchup Editor’s Brunch, Vision Board Party 2026, saw an afternoon where creators slowed down, talked through the cracks, and ended the day dancing to coffee-fuelled beats.

Social Ketchup's Ed Mrinil Mathur Rajwani hosted a vision board party on January 8th in collaboration with Bru as the title partner and co-powered by Dove, with Bluer coming on board as the gifting partner. The brunch saw creators come together for an afternoon of conversation, creative reflection, and community building. As the space filled up, conversations began to start across tables, with creators reconnecting and meeting each other for the first time. Coffee-led activities in association with Bru, where creators indulged in games like coffee pong, guess the drink, and never have I ever, while a Coffee Mood Bar ran throughout the afternoon, creating a casual setting that encouraged interaction without a fixed structure.

Resetting intentions, one vision at a time

The brunch began with a Vision Board activity to reset intentions for 2026. Creators were seated in small groups of four to five and worked on individual vision boards that reflected their goals, aspirations, and creative direction for the year ahead. They created the vision board, keeping in mind what they want to achieve this year in their career as a content creator. Each board reflected their dreams and hopes for the future. 

We called this Resetting 2026, because dreams, like ours, are not built in one year. They evolve. They shift. And sometimes they need a reset to truly align with our vision.  It was all about honesty, clarity, and intention and how one resets and rebuilds in 2026.

Dove x Kintsugi: Reborn stronger

The Vision Board session was followed by the Dove x Kintsugi ritual titled REBORN: A Kintsugi Ritual for Creators. The activity drew from the Japanese art of Kintsugi and focused on ideas around rebuilding and personal change. Kintsugi, meaning “golden joinery”, is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Instead of hiding cracks, it highlights them, making the object more beautiful and valuable. It’s rooted in the philosophy of wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection and impermanence. This ritual represented shedding of what no longer serves creators from 2025, maybe expectations, pressure, self-doubt, or versions of themselves that no longer fit.

Creators were given ceramic plates, which they gently broke as a symbol of letting go. Then, using the gold detailing materials provided, they fixed those cracks to create a reborn version of what they want to carry into 2026. This was also their chance to indulge in conversations around unlearning pressure, embracing imperfection, and approaching the year ahead with greater clarity. The brunch also included a Dove REBORN Photo Corner with simple signs that read, “Reborn Stronger” and “Stronger Together,” where creators were photographed with their completed Kintsugi pieces.

Bru Coffee Rave

Thanks to Bru, we flipped the energy, and the brunch concluded with the Bru Coffee Rave, marking the final segment of the day’s programming, led by musician, composer, and now DJ Mayur Jumani, who played everything from 90s bangers to trending audios. The session ran for close to two hours, with music playing as creators gathered around the space and continued interacting with one another while they danced their hearts out. And when we say rave, we mean high energy, no filters, pure vibe.

We hope that the creators left with more than just coffee and good memories. They packed clarity, connection, and a renewed sense of what you want 2026 to feel like. From vision boards to being reborn through Kintsugi, and ending with a coffee rave, it was a reminder that creativity doesn’t live in pressure; it lives in community.
