About this FieldTrip

We work together with other people on creative endeavors all the time, but rarely take a step back to ask how collaboration really works for ourselves and others…and how to make it more fun, fluid, dynamic and effective.

We’ll explore some fundamental principles of collaborative intelligence as well as approaches to communicating and relating creative ideas…all through a simple and powerful interactive origami exercise

✨WHAT TO EXPECT

✔️ Have some Paper and Pens handy if they help you think

✔️ We’ll kick things off by defining collaborative intelligence (collaboratively of course, using a shared creative space) and explore what our most durable challenges with group thinking and making are.

✔️ From there, we’ll collaborate on an origami project in optional breakout rooms.

✔️We’ll “unfold” the origami exercise together, doing a careful unpacking of your collaborative experience and drawing out insights together in group conversation.

✔️ Closing Circle: We’ll each share one thing we’ll try to deepen a key collaboration in our lives, via chat, with sharing optional, depending on time and the size of the group.

🎒What To Bring

✔️ + Have some Paper and Pens handy if they help you think

❤️ This FieldTrip Includes Breakout Rooms

Breakout rooms on FieldTrips are an opportunity to create meaningful connections with participants from around the world. If you do not feel like joining one for any reason, no worries! We’ll always make sure you have something to do introspectively in the main room.

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.)
