Welcome to your personal time capsule: quarantine edition. This FieldTrip, part of the Time Well Spent interview series, is designed to both support you in capturing where you are at this unique moment in history, and help you think about how to create new perspectives, rituals, and habits for your days, as we navigate this unusual time together and apart.

While there are many ways to approach this exercise, our method will be to engage our imaginations through writing, drawing, sharing, and reflecting with one another. With this said, absolutely no writing or drawing experience is required to engage in this FieldTrip. Everyone is welcome.

We’ll provide beautifully designed, bespoke slides to support you on your journey, as well as friends, reflection/goal setting activity prompts, and mellow tunes.
