About this FieldTrip
Our volatile, complex, and uncertain world requires us to learn to listen, cultivate empathy, and amplify our abilities to connect and collaborate.
We need a way to embody these skills and promote the well-being of ourselves, our communities, and societies. Applied Improvisation gives us this gift by giving us permission to play, unlocking potential in us to collaborate with wonder, joy, creativity, and possibility!
Our highly-interactive, deeply reflective, and fun/joyfilled workshops will leave you feeling more deeply connected and give you simple yet potent games and exercises for you to carry with you in your day to day life.
This event will be co-hosted by David Westerlund: David is a Designer, Facilitator and Transformational Coach at Be Present Discover Joy.

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.)
