Kat Vellos
Author of We Should Get Together: The Secret to Cultivating Better Friendships.
Bay Area, CA, USA
I’m the author of the book We Should Get Together: The Secret to Cultivating Better Friendships. I help people create and maintain fulfilling friendships in adulthoodâand lately, that’s gotten more specific: Helping adults build friendship and community in neighborhoods and cities that werenât designed for it. Part of this work includes advocating for cities to become places where social connection is easier and built into everyday life. When I work directly with individuals, my work takes many shapes: figuring out how to fit friendship into your busy life, deepening existing acquaintanceships, and cultivating a more balanced digital life so you have space and time for IRL connections. My background includes UX (user experience) design, community-building, and facilitation.

About this FieldTrip
We all have themâŚthose 387 tabs open, waiting to be read. So letâs do it together in a nerdy fun study hall together. Weâll get together, read some of the tabs weâve been putting off, then give each other tweet-length âbook reportsâ about what we learned.
â¨WHAT TO EXPECT
âď¸ 5 minutes: Arrive & overviewâď¸ 30 minutes: Tab-reading-n-closing time! Iâll play some chill instrumental background music that you can listen to or mute if you want
âď¸ 15 minutes: Share what you learned with a small group breakout
âď¸ 10 minutes: Full-group checkout & closing
đWHAT TO KNOW OR BRING
âď¸ Totally optional: If you want to prepare, you can put all your âto be read laterâ tabs into a separate browser window. Then minimize that window and save it for our session.â¤ď¸ This FieldTrip Includes Optional Breakout Rooms
Breakout rooms on FieldTrips are an opportunity to create meaningful connections with participants from around the world. If you do not feel like joining one for any reason, no worries! We’ll always make sure you have something to do introspectively in the main room.ABOUT YOUR HOST
Kat Vellos is speaker, facilitator, and the author of “We Should Get Together: The Secret to Cultivating Better Friendships” which is loved around the world. One of the biggest reasons why adults struggle to maintain their friendships is because they don’t have time or mental energy, so this is one of Kat’s workshops that will help you reclaim your time and attention so you can focus on what really matters.

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 beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa 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
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŚâ in conversation.
Not vibing?
Itâs 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.)
