Questions & Answers

What is Raptitude Field Trip?

Raptitude Field Trip is a three-week 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 and the other Field Trippers will do all seven practices over a three-week period, while (optionally) discussing your experiences in the forum. 

The course runs from May 8th to May 28th, with a new lesson released every third day. 

I will be doing the course with you!

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 begins May 8th, 2023, and ends May 28th.
 
New lessons will be unlocked every third day, starting on the 8th.

Ideally you will do all seven lessons over that three week period, so that you can discuss them with me and other participants on the discussion board. 

You will have permanent access to the lessons though, so you can take as long as you like.

How much time does it take?

Reading and doing a lesson will take about 15-20 minutes total, and there are seven of them to do in three weeks.

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.
