The SENSORY EXPERIENCE
EXPLORE with purpose and discover your world.
Among the hustle and bustle of an urban environment, THE FLAENUR WAY invites you to take this opportunity to practice mindfulness. Slowing down, tuning in, and observing each of the senses as it relates to ourselves, others, and all that surrounds us on a daily basis. Enjoy curated unique sensorial experiences and events that invite you to awaken the senses, unwind, and tune in to the moment. This is a blend of themed seasonal gatherings, mindful activities, movement practices, nourishing meals, and purposeful explorations in urban and nature landscapes. Inspired by the season and the beauty of every day.
THE FLANEUR WAY sensory experiences are guided explorations through urban settings, set in beautiful artistic, historical, and culturally rich places around the world, with the theme of well-being, creativity, and exploration.
The Path:
YOU- This exploration begins with you. This mindfulness practice will first take notice of our breath, thoughts, and all the sensations that we experience physically, and emotionally. Simply becoming aware of what is, without adding or subtracting to the experience. Once we have grounded and found our base, we can expand outward to include others.
OTHERS - Especially in urban spaces, we are reminded daily that we are not alone. We share space and energy with others. The Flaneur way practice reserves time to teach us the importance of making connections within our community, and the people we have and pass in our lives. Through the conscious practice of making eye contact and connections daily with others, we can build stronger, authentic relationships and experiences.
SURROUNDINGS- These workshops bring special focus to observing the simple but beautiful details that make up the landscape of our lives. Taking the time to reflect on what you see, hear, feel, taste and smell, as the moments unfold. Finding beauty in the mundane, and places that we least expect. To become a better witness to your direct experience that makes up our day-to-day.
It is about getting out there, and exploring, wandering without limitations, boundaries or a plan. Noticing the simple and small things from the spaces you encompass, the places you travel, and the people you cross paths with on a daily basis. It is not about second-guessing a moment by adding dialogue to it but living it for what it is. Choosing a direction and moving forward, and adapting and transforming as the journey continues. Fully engage in the direct experience and stay mindful. Explore the inner and outer landscapes of who you are, where you came from, and where you might want to head.
Flaneur walks workshops & excursions are experiences set in beautiful, artistic, historical and culturally rich landscapes around the world. Places and spaces where you can relax, nourish creativity and become inspired. These retreats are seeking to immerse you in the local culture and rituals that these vibrant urban spaces can provide. As well as be inspired by the local artists and artisans. We will celebrate the food and drink as an art, but also an important fuel for our bodies. Eating healthy, seasonal, and local homegrown food.
My mission is not only to awaken the artist within by inspiring and nourishing your own creativity and desires but to proudly support each community that we will encompass. Incorporating the locals into the adventures whenever possible and giving back to these urban landscapes in order to be able to enjoy them for years to come.
This invitation goes out to you, the observers of life. There are no limits or barriers to whom can attend. If you are seeking to slow down and bring more awareness to your life, others, and all that surrounds you, then I invite you to join me on this journey.
My hope for these adventures is to provide a space for people to let go, relax, create, and connect. It has always been my intention in life to live my dreams and passions and in doing so want to inspire others to do the same. I can't wait to hear from you…
