OBSERVE. EXPLORE. CREATE
The Flaneur Way
is a state of mind and way of being by which a community of observers, explorers, and creators can come together to learn, sense, connect, and collaborate.
Unifying a passion for creativity, wellness, and exploration. The Flaneur Way invites you on a journey. To observe and explore your inner and outer landscapes, that are both familiar and unfamiliar. To inspire the CREATION and EXPRESSION, of the authentic vision, voice, and narratives, beyond any barrier or border. To encourage moments of connection and relating to yourself, others, and the world around us, through the senses. To live with purpose and intention.
The Flaneur Way offers creative consulting services, sensory experiences, walks & Talks, publications, workshops, and products that promote creativity, wellness, and exploration. As well as awareness, reflection, and connection to our senses, and how it relates to ourselves, others, and the world that surrounds us, in the present moment.
Guiding through an alchemy of creative-mindful practices, sensory methods, movement exercises, and rituals that educate and inspire.

OBSERVE
A flaneur is about being a witness. Slowing down, checking in, and observing yourself, others, and all that surrounds you. Tuning in with all your senses to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel the daily aspects of life. Bringing awareness to the moments, as they unfold. A flaneur does not skim the surface but is curious and inquisitive. Going deeper to unravel the many layers that exist inside and out and in between. Being open to perceiving life, which is made up of different perspectives and angles. The focus is not on doing but on being.
EXPLORE
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. Exploring the inner and outer landscapes of who you are, where you came from, and where you might want to head.
CREATE
Notice that art resides in everything and everywhere. Realizing as an observer of this life, we are all artists. We all have a way of creating, processing, and expressing what we see, hear, and feel. The flaneur way is about awakening the artist within by inspiring and nourishing creativity that already exists. As well as be a space for artists to come and find resources to engage deeper into their practice. It is not waiting for inspiration to arrive or the right moment but engaging in the flow that you find yourself in. The flaneur way is about letting your authentic voice be heard, your unique vision expressed and your story shared.
