As We Carry On - Using Words to Explore Your Grief with a Compassionate Lens

Overview 170 Lovely Attendees

About this FieldTrip

Too often, our culture freezes in the face of grief. We’re told to master seven steps, move through milestones, and muscle through to the other side. What if we don’t have to arrive buttoned up and whole?

In this 90-minute interactive FieldTrip you’ll explore how self-compassion can help us live more fully after loss. Together, we’ll draw from the wisdom of other grief writers in three movements.

You’ll embark on exercises of free-writing, list-making, and poems to explore new ways to honor our pain, our healing, and ourselves as we carry on. Designed for writers of all skill levels. Sense of humor welcome.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
