About this FieldTrip

If you’re a crafter, you probably have a “good stash” that you keep meaning to use… but haven’t. Yet.

You know, the special fabric, the fancy yarn, the pristine notebook you keep holding onto for someday? Bring it to this meetup. Today is the day to use the good stuff!

Think of this as your chance to use up your good stash with a supportive group of crafters who are doing the same! Give yourself an hour to make time for your craft and yourself.

You can start a new project or continue with a work-in-progress. You’ll have a chance to share what you’re working on in a judgement-free space and hopefully, meet new crafty friends!

Any and all types and levels of craft are welcome.


What to know or bring

  • Set up your work area

    • Get your supplies (somewhat) organized 

    • Be ready to start crafting!


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.

It will be recorded!

The recording will be shared within 24 hours in the follow up email for a 4-day window, and available at the top of this page. Make sure to register for access!

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.)
