About this FieldTrip

We’ve become so dependent on phones do we even know how to read maps any more? And when was the last time you made your own map? In this FieldTrip we’ll be getting lost and making your own hand-drawn maps. (NO artistic ability required.) Maps are an amazing tool to help give you clarity on where you want to go. In this FieldTrip we’ll be using them to help us unlock our imagination, embrace our inner child, and dream.

Participants should bring paper and their favorite pen (it’s good to have a ballpoint pen on hand too). Bring a banana to map on too (trust me)! This is an all inclusive workshop—an orange, lemon, or other untraditional thing to map on works too.


Agenda

  • Disconnect and engage your creative juices in analog form.

  • We’ll be making 2 maps in the course of 1 hour. This is a fast paced workshop, but the joy comes from creative constraints.

  • Anyone who is open to sharing will be invited to share their maps! Prepare to be surprised and delighted. (Use #MakeaMapFieldTrip to share online)


What to know or bring

  • 🖊️ Pen (ballpoint pen is recommended for banana mapping)

  • 📄 Plain paper

  • 🖍️ Crayons, colored pencil, or markers (color is optional, but encouraged

  • 🍌 Banana, orange, or fruit with a peel (or anything non-traditional to draw on)


What to expect

Workshop format!

A hands-on session where participants get to build, craft, or create something tangible.

It will be recorded!

The recording will be shared within 24 hours in the follow up email for a 4-day window, and available at the top of this page. Make sure to register for access!

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.)
