About this FieldTrip

This workshop will guide you toward finding a better balance and dynamic posture that you will learn to apply to all of your activities. Having better posture takes pressure off your system, allows for better breathing, and helps you recuperate during activity.

Whether you have back pain, are recovering from an injury, want to improve in a specific activity, or are working on building awareness in general, we can help you discover how to interact with yourself and your environment in an easier and more efficient manner. Balancing your body and posture contributes to the balance of your entire being. You will leave with specific ideas to help you approach your thinking and movement.

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.)
