‘A walk across Fresno in a year’ #2 – 3-minute video

January 1, 2017January 2, 2017 By fmw

Happy 2017 Fresno! Here’s a 3-minute tribute to the many who have joined the 52 walks of year 2 through Fresno neighborhoods. It’s impossible to capture all of the adventure, the calm, and the connections: serenaded with a native American chant, finding a geo-cache, sacred time in a Buddhist temple, Ethiopian Coptic Christian communion, tour of self-contained housing in Eco-Garden, stories from people on the street, the abandoned child, art exhibited in front yards, apartment gardens, the highs and lows, beauty and heartbreak…..

I’ve come to believe that mindfully walking is both an internal and external experience that transforms the walker and the community.

  Would love to have you join a walk any time. To learn about upcoming walks, please add your email address to the top of the home page to receive a weekly walk notification email. Also, you can follow Fresno Mindfulness walks Facebook page. I post the walk meeting location, route, and exact time just a few days before the walk. Walks are Saturday mornings, usually around 8 a.m. (depending on the weather). Lori

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.
