Fresno Mindfulness Walks Big Ideas

October 24, 2016 By fmw

“These are our brothers and sisters in Fresno, and our lives and futures are tied together.” (Beginning and ending of every walk.)

“It all begins with a sense of wonder.”
Mary Catherine Bateson

“With understanding, there is no blame.”
David Gurteen

Mindfully walking your city can increase your understanding and empathy, and lead to a more fulfilling and helpful relationship with your community.

Mindfulness walks are a breeding ground for insight.

Practicing mindfulness an hour and a half a week leads to more mindful living the rest of the week.

GROUP WALKS ARE CURRENTLY ON A BREAK

Fresno Mindfulness Walks usual Saturday morning walks are currently on a break.  For future walk notifications, sign up for the emails at the top and follow FMW on Facebook.

Walks are free and a great way to get to know yourself and your town.  So grab a friend or two, find a route in a new part of town, agree not to talk to each other, activate all your senses, and set off on your journey.   You can share your experience here in the comment section or on the Facebook page.

Stay tuned for future group walks with Fresno Mindfulness Walks.

How FMW works —

Fresno Mindfulness Walks are weekly opportunities for people to walk together for a 4 mile route through a different Fresno neighborhood each week. Walkers practice active mindfulness by attending to the sights, sounds, smells, feelings.  Walkers do not talk to each other on walks, but we do greet people we meet along the way.  The walk location and exact start time are posted just a few days in advance. All walks are free, require no RSVP, and anyone is welcome to join one walk or many. To learn about upcoming walks, you can sign up for a weekly email in the yellow bar at the top of this website and/or LIKE and follow the FMW Facebook page.

 

To learn about the routine that begins each walk and read some of the resources that have inspired FMW, check out the resources page.

 

Weekly walks are about 4 miles and take about an hour and a half. Walks are at a medium pace, often on uneven ground, and sometimes take longer than expected because walkers see themselves as curious travelers lingering to observe or going around a different way.
