Exa Kutler

Former Head of Community at CreativeMornings.

Brooklyn

I’m Exa, based in Brooklyn, where I work as the Head of Community at CreativeMornings.

At the heart of my work is a desire to support adults in feeling confident, curious, and compassionate in the face of creative learning, personal reflection, and everyday life.

I live in Brooklyn with my dog Jack Charles. I love sparkles, making indiepop music, and I draw cartoons with a non-binary character named bean, and help out with The Strangers Project.

About this FieldTrip

The Artists’ Way is a 12-Week inquiry into self-expression, creativity, and experience.

Like any project, staying focused on the 12-week journey of the Artists’ Way can be difficult in isolation. The intention of this FieldTrip series is to build community around the shared practice of the Artists’ Way, so that we may join together in a celebration of creativity, imagination, and self-inquiry. 

Learn more about the series and become a part of our (Experimental) Community Reflection Space HERE!

When will the FieldTrip Meet? Every Other Monday from 4:00 - 5:30 EST beginning June 12th.

What if I attended this series in 2022? No worries! we’ll be covering the same material, but feel free to join again. This year we’ll also be joining forces with Mighty Networks to create an integrated community component. Watch the space to learn more! What’s more… You’ll never answer the same question in the same way one year later! You may be surprised by how you’ve grown!

Agenda

  •  The Basic Principles — What's this work all about? Together, we'll engage with key themes and concepts
  • The Basic Tools — How do we approach the actual work? Together we'll engage with morning pages and our inner censors
  • Learning Contracts — How do you want to hold yourself through the work? Together, we'll craft up our own personal Manifestos for the 12-week course
  • OPTIONAL POST-FIELDTRIP BREAKOUTS: The FieldTrip itself will run for 75-minutes with an option for 15-minutes of breakout rooms after the event. This time will be protected for those who would like to explore or integrate in community with one another. 

What to know or bring

  • 📚 What To Read this week
  • Introduction, Spiritual Electricity — The Basic Principles, The Basic Tools
  • If you can't read these ahead of time — don't worry! We'll go with the flow. The focus of this course this week will be tapping into some of the key themes that Julia Cameron brings up — so if anything, it will give you a ground from which to read from. 

What to expect

Immersive experience!

Participants engage in activities where they're part of the action, such as music events, sound baths, co-working sessions, or movement classes.

Optional afterparty!

Bring your extrovert self if you want to meet new people and chat after.

Real-time only!

This FieldTrip will not be recorded.

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.)
