Questions & Answers

What is Raptitude Field Trip?

Raptitude Field Trip is a mini-course intended for readers of the Raptitude blog, but anyone can do it. 

Its purpose is to give you seven simple mental tools you can use to expand and renew your perspective -- of your life situation, the people around you, and the world you live in.

You'll do all seven practices over a three-week period, while (optionally) discussing your experiences with me and other readers in the forum. 

What will the Field Trip do for me?

The practices in the Field Trip are designed to trigger moments of insight -- moments in which you’ve stepped outside your habitual ways of viewing life, yourself, or other people.

These insights can allow you see some aspect of life differently than you ever have. It’s impossible to know how a practice will affect a given person, because our habitual ways of seeing differ so much. Some differences you might notice:
  • a deeper connection to other people
  • a greater sense of agency and freedom
  • the feeling that you're an integral part of time and history
  • an expanded sense of what's possible in a day, a year, or a lifetime
  • a measure of peace with difficulty or uncertainty
  • a richness and profundity in ordinary experience
  • gratitude for still being alive
  • feeling more at ease in the world
The Raptitude Field Trip is a series of experiments, not a prescription. You might bounce off some exercises completely, have fleeting glimpses of perspective with others, and a few might resonate deeply. That's why we're doing a series of them. Different minds will have different insights, and there's nothing in particular that's supposed to happen.

When does it happen?

The Field Trip was originally done as a group cohort over a fixed three-week period. Now you can do the course any time you like.

The course was designed to do over a three-week period. Every three days you do a lesson and focus on practicing its exercise.

Once registered, you have open-ended access to the lessons, however, so you can take as long as you like.

How much time does it take?

Reading and doing a lesson will take about 10-20 minutes total, and there are seven of them.

Once you learn a practice, you're encouraged to do it whenever you like, throughout the course period and thereafter. The practices themselves can be done anywhere and take from a few seconds to a minute or so. 

Is this course a part of Camp Calm?

No. Raptitude Field Trip is a standalone course. 

However, it is being hosted on the same site as Camp Calm, so you may see Camp Calm branding. If you are a member of Camp Calm, you will be using the same login info for Raptitude Field Trip.
