Exa Kutler

Former Head of Community at CreativeMornings.

Brooklyn

I’m Exa, based in Brooklyn, where I work as the Head of Community at CreativeMornings.

At the heart of my work is a desire to support adults in feeling confident, curious, and compassionate in the face of creative learning, personal reflection, and everyday life.

I live in Brooklyn with my dog Jack Charles. I love sparkles, making indiepop music, and I draw cartoons with a non-binary character named bean, and help out with The Strangers Project.

About this FieldTrip

Dreaming of hosting a workshop, FieldTrip, or virtual experience, but not sure where to start? You’re in the right place.

In this session, we begin our workshop-design journey with purpose setting, ideation, and imagination, as we explore how to think like designers to create the foundations for our experiences.

Note: This is a HANDS-ON Experience and will not flow like a traditional lecture or presentation. Get ready to put your ideas into practice!

Learn more about the series!

✨WHAT TO EXPECT

✔️ First we’ll take a look at some of the fundamental building blocks that shape any virtual (or in person!) workshop.

✔️ We’ll reflect on how key design elements influence your experience of an event, and we’ll think through how to design our own workshops with these elements in mind.

✔️ You’ll lay out a wide range of potential topics, honing in on the one that resonates most with you. Then you’ll outline the scope of your workshop and share questions, ideas, and curiosities with the room.

✔️ By the end of the FieldTrip, you’ll be ready for Session 2 where we’ll think through your workshop structure, content activations, engagement opportunities, and more!

❤️ OPTIONAL POST-FIELDTRIP BREAKOUTS:

The FieldTrip itself will run for 75-minutes with an option for 15-minutes of breakout rooms after the event. This time will be protected for those who would like to explore or integrate in community with one another.

🎒WHAT TO KNOW OR BRING

✔️ Bring any idea that you have for a FieldTrip or Virtual Workshop!

✔️ Markers, Paper, things to get crafty with!

✔️ We’ll be using Adobe Express (it’s free!) for our interactive templates. Take a look around and tinker before the FieldTrip so you can get familiar with some of the features!

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.)
