Do you have a growth mindset?

Do you like figuring out how to make life better?

Do you crave more connection in your life?

Do you enjoy exploring what’s possible?

Do you like laughter and eating food? (C'mon, I hope I got a yes here!)

Yes?! Then come out for a fun day of discovery and coaching at the August Friday Field Trip!

Bring yourself and anything you’ve been working on in your life.

Maybe you’re trying to improve your health or relationships.Or you’re embarking on a new chapter of life or at a career crossroads.

Maybe you’re facing a tricky business or creative problem.

Or you’re just wondering how to have a better day-to-day experience of life. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed and discouraged by the world.

Or perhaps you need a new dust buster and aren’t sure which one to get. (Let’s talk about it!)

You may have been working on this problem for years, getting stuck and going around in circles (like that Roomba you've been considering buying).

Or you might just generally want to improve your life. And you’re feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start.

Wherever you’re at and whatever you’ve got going on is welcome. (Spoiler - it’s all going around!)

Spend a day connecting with yourself, community, and nature through facilitated coaching exercises and watch how the experience catalyzes new insights and progress.

By attending a Friday Field Trip you’ll:

  • Give your nervous system a safe place to land
  • Take a break from daily life and current events
  • Harness the positive energy of a supportive community
  • Feel more engaged, clear, hopeful, and empowered about your own life
  • Find new perspectives that crack open the problems you’ve been working on
  • Connect meaningfully with others about our shared human experience
  • Experience compassion, encouragement, and, if I’m on my game, some good laughs

The August Field Trip theme is Clarity 101.

We'll be going over my best frameworks to help you understand what’s going on in your life and how to respond effectively.

You’ll walk away with a fuller cup, fresh insights, and the knowledge that you can plug back into this group over time to deepen your connection with yourself and others.

Friday Field Trips are set up as regularly held events to provides a built-in community aspect. (Mark your calendar for our next Field Trip on Oct 17th!)

You'll experience a safe, accepting, high connection container where it feels normal and comfortable to both share what’s up for you and hear what’s going on for other people. This is the part that will help you connect to and process what you're feeling naturally and at your own pace.

While there will be plenty to do during the field trip, there will also be a segment of free time for any sort of rest you’re needing. Listening to your body and making choices based on that knowledge will be highly encouraged. This will give you access to rest, in whatever form you need.

We’ll also be walking (about 2.5 miles throughout the course of the day at an easy pace), engaging with fun coaching and activity exercises, eating good food, spending time together in kindness and laughter, and generally making life better together over time.

Give yourself a Friday off to pay attention to your life and intentionally create it. (Bonus! You’ll still have your entire weekend to do as you please.)
