Grab some comfortable walking shoes, your headphones and mask, because we’re going on a walk together! Pop-Up Magazine has created an immersive story for you to enjoy while walking. Actress Jenny Slate, Anna Sale (Death, Sex & Money), Antwan Miller (Ear Hustle), author and radio host Lulu Williams, writer Sam Jay (Saturday Night Live), and more invite you to look around and imagine as they share walking stories — profound, unexpected, moving, and life-changing.
Participants will log into the FieldTrip, join us for some stretches, and then set on a walking journey set to headphones.
We’re looking forward to seeing where participants start their walks and where they end up: - Turn cameras on and audio off at the start of the walk - When the walk begins turn cameras off - After the walk, we’ll all turn cameras on to see where participants ended compared to where they started
To Prepare: - Plan for a 30-minute walk, whatever walking means to you: leisurely and slow; in nature or in your city neighborhood. - In advance, participants are asked to think about a safe, socially distant walk you can take while listening to your headphones. (Or enjoy while sitting on your stoop, in your backyard, or lounging on your bed.) - Don’t forget your mask. Bring water, an extra layer, shades, and anything to help you lose yourself in the experience!
“Take a Walk” is part of Pop-Up Magazine’s fall issue premiering October 12. Experience a week of unforgettable stories — A comedian dares us not to laugh; aging nomads redefine the meaning of home; a skater-kid fakes his way through a summer at boy scout camp; a quarantine pen pal project goes viral; a woman escapes Jim Crow Louisiana and becomes the matriarch of over 300 descendants in Oakland, and a Berlin-based artist changes the way we see (and hear) everything.

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.
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
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.
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.
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.)
