Join me in slowing down and tuning in, to take note of the moments through the senses and seasons of our lives. The flaneur way presents this year’s wanders, in association with the project souvenir- A SENSE of time. There will be an array of thoughtfully curated wanders, experiences, and gatherings that merge creative expression, mindful practices, and storytelling, to stimulate each of your senses and engage you in the moment.
The first one of the year is in spring/summer in Montreal. Each stroll will take you to a unique neighborhood in Montreal. This one will take place in the vibrant artistic and cultural neighborhood of the plateau. It will coincide with the MURAL Festival. Giving a great opportunity to feast your eyes on an outdoor theatre of art and artists in the process of creation.
PLATEAU / MONTREAL
Stroll like a flaneur down the quaint and narrow streets, wandering off the beaten path into alleys or greenways. Pause for a moment to look around. Observing all the colorful outdoor stairways and Victorian architecture, to the stunning wall murals created by local and international talents. Let your senses awaken. Savour the smells and tastes of local bakeries and cuisines. Slow down and tune in to all the SOUNDS that surround you. Open your eyes wide to SEE the textures, colours and shapes of Montreal’s urban landscape. Feel fully the direct experience
Come wander with me, as I share my knowledge and tips as an artist & wellness educator, through creative mindful practices and movement exercises that engage you in the present and awaken your senses.
