Every walk is an adventure! Walk #1, Yr 3 from Mosqueda Community Center to Calwa Park.

It never fails, every walk is an unexpected adventure – from West Fresno to the Fresno Airport, and from Copper River Country club in north Fresno, to Calwa Park in the south. Mindfulness walkers express amazement at what we learn and see by walking the neighborhoods of our own city. On the first walk of year 3, see southeast Fresno neighborhoods, including Boys & Girls Club, Sequoia Middle School, Vang Pao Elementary School, Fresno’s weekend Green Space program, Calwa Park graffiti wall, and Reading and Beyond.

Calwa graffiti wall was certainly the highlight of a very interesting walk. I was also glad to finally see Pao Vang elementary school, and the wonderful folks from Parks and Recreation offering fitness activities there. Lots going on! Kathryn

This was a fantastic walk. We were blessed to get to see Artists working on the Graffiti wall at Calwa Park. I stopped by Mauro Carrera’s booth to say Hi and his people were wonderful. Great job Serena! Liz

It was a great day to be walking in the sunshine and seeing the city from a more mindful lens. The Bizare Art Festival happening today was definitely an interesting find- what a great tribute. Linda

Always have a blast walking Fresno and witnessing how much change our city has gone through. Seeing all the creative minds paint their story on the longest legal graffiti wall at Calwa made this walk even more enjoyable! Pat

There was a lot of love and sense of community in Calwa today! We met Serena whose brother, Bizare, passed away 4 years ago. She organizes this cool event every year that brings family, friends and artists from all over California to honor and remember him with their art.🙏 Consider walking with the Fresno Mindfulness Walks every Saturday to tour and get to know our community; we see amazing things while walking around Fresno 😎 Great exercise! These walks are the ultimate go-see-it field trips exploring Fresno. So often we just drive by and don’t realize what’s in our community. We always see the most interesting things! Wendy

Fresno Mindfulness Walks will lead a Saturday morning walk on January 29, 2022, beginning at 10 am. at 271 N. Glenn Ave., Fresno, CA 93701 (the home of Craig Scharton).

The walk will be about 3 miles, at a stroll to medium pace, occasionally on uneven ground, and take about an hour and a half. By walking mindfully and without talking, we will experience the Lowell neighborhood in new ways. At the conclusion of the walk, we’ll gather back at Craig’s yard and spend a few minutes talking about what we discovered about ourselves and the neighborhood.

Walks are free and require no RSVP. Look for the Facebook event to share with your friends. For email notifications, sign up in the yellow bar at the top.

Lucky Leader to Fresno Mindfulness Walks

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.
