About this FieldTrip

Many successful athletes, entertainers, and politicians attest to having followed a personal mantra, motto, or manifesto to reach their lofty heights. But does everyone need a personal manifesto? This is a statement of purpose and a script for action to anchor you in your values and help you make everyday decisions when you’re faced with dilemmas.

A manifesto helps you organize your methods and principles, which in turn teaches you to be consistent in the face of change and gives you confidence to take risks about what you truly care about.

✨WHAT TO EXPECT

✔️ I will help you collect and curate your experiences to create worthy goals and get you started on creating your manifesto, which includes goals, values, ethics and biases.

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.)
