Welcome to the World Wide Wander

Hello morning people! The last two years posed interesting experiments for us. We tinkered with translating the IRL magic of CreativeMornings into virtual and the local, global. Along the way, we “traveled” to faraway chapters from around the world and learned how to give hugs and high fives on Zoom. Our small in-person FieldTrips blossomed into a global learning community of thousands.

As we continue to evolve what it means to experience the heart of CreativeMornings, we wondered, “What if we could take what has grown expansive and global — and make it hyper-local again?” So when our friends at the creative nonprofit Street Wisdom asked to join forces for a 24-hour around-the-world relay of their magical walkshops (i.e., walking workshops), we said YES. Together, we’re so excited to invite you to our World Wide Wander.

Wandering with Street Wisdom is a great way to come home to yourself in the world around you.

What’s the World Wide Wander? It’s chance for our community – that means YOU! – to tap into your creativity and a sense of connection, no matter where you are. On September 22 and 23, we’ll wake up in cities around the world, hear from local CreativeMornings volunteers, and take a morning walk together — all on Zoom. Along the way, Street Wisdom facilitators will guide us through prompts to see our walks as a fount of creative inspiration. It’s an experiment in finding new perspectives, connecting our global community, and bringing joy.

How can I participate? You can experience this from home, on a stroll, or anywhere else.

🤳 Log in on your smart phone and take us on a walk with you! Or

To go on the walk, you just need a charged device, some headphones, and to dress for the weather. Just log into the Zoom link in your email at the appointed time.

When is the World Wide Wander? September 22-23, 2022 for 90-minute legs of a 24-hour long relay. Each leg is hosted by various CreativeMornings chapters waking up at that hour. Join us for one 90 minute-leg of the relay or as many as you’d like.

Bring your burning life questions and see your surroundings – whether that’s inside the four walls of your home or on the street outdoors – with fresh eyes. Make room for wonder – you’ll be surprised by the sights, both strange and familiar, sparking unexpected answers and delights to whatever questions you’re asking.

It’s a beautifully executed, thoughtful meditation on life.
