Thanks for this walking group!
I heard about this the other day. You?
FLANEURING-google it! (I initially included a link, but my message was rejected because of the link). It's a French term for mindful, meditative walking.

@shan2400 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Glad that you joined our walking group. I like your term ‘flaneuring’. Are you French? If you aren’t used to lots of walking, I included Mayo Clinic’s get started program.

@shan2400, I love the verb "flâner." As a French speaker, it is a word we used for specific situations associated with just letting the day happen. I'm happy to hear that it has been adopted in English for mindful, meditative walking.

What does mindful, meditative walking look like for you? Where or when do you do it best?
