🎨 The Art of the Travel Journal by Abbey Sy

Overview 701 Lovely Attendees

About this FieldTrip

The new year is a great opportunity to start a travel journal, and in this FieldTrip, artist and author Abbey Sy shares with you ideas and inspiration on how to create and decorate a travel journal that you can use for future adventures to come.

✨WHAT TO EXPECT

✔️Introduction: you will get to know what travel journaling is about and have a peek at different travel journals for inspiration.

✔️ Show and tell: we will have a show and tell of different materials you can use to start your travel journaling journey.

✔️ Journaling activity: you will create a travel journal spread featuring your travel goals for the coming year. It will be a demo and guided activity.

✔️ Sharing: we will have a discussion on some of your completed travel journal pages, your travel plans for the year, and your 2022 adventures.

🎒What To Bring

✔️ Before we begin, I have some goodies that you can print out for our journaling activity. Make sure to print them out (it’s optional!) before our class so you can use them for your journal pages. Look out for them in the 24-hour Pre-event email!

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.)
