------------------------------------------

I've been trying to think of some interesting TEF footage to do for my Youtube channel, and I used to do these walking meditations all the time when I was a bit more active. So what I'd like to start doing is setting up some events like I did before where we stroll through the Forest, but recording them for my channel. I think it would be fun to see what everyone does

Anyway, this was the end result of it. Thanks to Amary who walked with me, it helped me a lot as far as testing this idea out.



------------------------------------------

So how does this work? Well it's actually pretty simple. Just walk with Quad and enjoy the Forest around you. You don't have to stay for the whole thing, just feel free to use it as a way to clear your mind while your deer walks. There's no major rules or anything about this, I'd just mostly say not to moo too much. It should be a nice, quiet stroll through the Forest and not a noisy parade.

I'll announce new events here, and if anyone has any suggestions or requests as to when to walk, let me know here. Keep in mind I have a wonky work schedule so I mostly plan to do this on the weekends. And feel free to track this page so you'll know when the next one is.

Walking meditations are also pretty cool in real life. If you're interested in learning about them, I recommend this video where one of my favorite Buddhist teachers, Thich Nhat Hanh, explains how it works.

Thanks so much for

Thanks so much for participating! I really enjoyed it too!

And sorry about Quad backing into you Chizzu, that was me trying to get those weights to balance on my keys and I was like "wait, Quad, no don't do that! Quad, stop! Gah...forget this!", and I decided to push the keys myself.

So I'm not going to use those weights anymore so that doesn't happen...which makes sense because that way I can tell when it'll be about time to quit. The whole reason why I don't make these too long is that I know our fingers will get numb after a while

And here's the video~

I'll try to give more

I'll try to give more notification from now on, I think that 30 minute notice would be decent. Don't want to keep you guys waiting too long.

Thanks for coming everyone too! The video is coming up soon.

Also you guys are more than welcome to take the lead whenever we do this. I literally just pick a random direction to walk, this one was fun because of walking through the Playground. But yeah, if you run ahead of Quad and start to walk in a different direction, I'll follow ya.

This walk was really fun, I was happy to see so many deer interracting at the end of it!
Perhaps next video we can all stop by for a drink, and maybe walk through the Birch!

I was trying to think of

I was trying to think of something we could do in this one. Maybe we can do a 'sit break' partway in to let everyone rest their fingers. I like the idea of stopping for a drink too.

When I saw the Bridge in the distance, I was like "Oh we totally gotta go walk across the bridge!"
Pippit's picture

Yes the bridge was a good

Yes the bridge was a good idea! Perhaps we can visit the Fountain in the Birch that allows everyone to change into small mammels for five to ten minutes that would also be fun!

I really enjoyed the walk

I really enjoyed the walk yesterday, though I apologize for not really acknowledging anyone in the beginning, my game was freezing like crazy so everyone seemed to be standing still until the walk suddenly had begun. ;;

Haha no worries, it was great

Haha no worries, it was great seeing everyone come. I'm going to try to do these on the afternoons when my concrete pours get cancelled and then on the weekends. I have a new schedule where I work night shifts but sometimes they cancel on us

I really enjoyed the recent walk. Watching us all walk slowly among the beautiful in-game weather did really calm my mind when I needed it, thanks a lot for this.
I'd like to apologize if my deer's actions seemed a bit off/awkward though... I haven't been playing properly in a while and got the hotkeys kind of messed up. ;_;

Oh my I missed it... I didn't see this post until now... XD Well, it looked like it was very fun I would have definitely joined, maybe when the next one comes. I really like the idea of the walk though it seems to be a great relaxing event to try!

Walk happening now, come join us! I'm planning on us walking up to De Drinkplaats too, should be fun XD

I'm not sure if that'll cause any issues with minideer pelts, so you don't have to step into De Drinkplaats if so and can just walk around it. We'll stop there for a drink momentarily before continuing on our walk

The walk was good as the

The walk was good as the previous one, reminds that nature is a thing that is to be enjoyed.

That's what I love about

That's what I love about these, we get to slow down and enjoy the fine details of the Forest. I also loved getting to do De Drinkplaats, the next time I have a big crowd we'll definitely be walking over there.

Thanks so much for coming, it was great!

I remember these. ♥
