"I wanted to say how meaningful the (event) was. It was such a great opportunity to gather with a group of thoughtful, compassionate, and energizing people. Not only did the experience offer the rare space for introspection and personal growth, but it also encouraged a sense of connection and mutual support with others in similar situations. I left with a sense of optimism and encouragement, and hope others did as well." - Past Participant

The April Friday Field Trip theme is Staying Well During Change.
Life is always changing in micro and macro ways. Reflect on the rhythms of change currently present in your life and what you're most needing to navigate those changes.

We'll explore real world activities and coaching exercises to gain insights that will help you to stay well in the midst of whatever is happening in your life.
Whether you're navigating something big or adjusting to a new return to work policy, this event will support you in making the most of the current season that you're in.
By getting out of your day-to-day life in a fun, supportive environment you’ll be able to more clearly see what’s happening in your life as well as what’s possible.

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.

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.)
