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

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.

X3 sure thing. We're still doing another one in about 2 and a half hours for those who wanted an 8 PM EST walk.

Also, no promises, but I might do another walk tomorrow. I'll let y'all know.

I do apologize, guys. the countdown timer I used this time apparently adjusts to whatever time zone you're in, hence why there was a lot of confusion as to what time it was. I meant to use this one like I have before that locks it into my time zone.

Thanks so much for coming,

Thanks so much for coming, everyone! We had two outstanding walks today, and we'll be doing another one tomorrow night, same time as the one scheduled! You're more than welcome to come and walk again or if you missed the walks today, feel free to stop by and enjoy a quiet stroll through the Forest. I'll make sure we walk in a different direction so it's a different experience as well.

Thank you for the meditation

Thank you for the meditation walk through the forest Quad. It was a wonderful way to unwind at the end of the day and greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to the next one! :3

i'm trying my best to join in

i'm trying my best to join in (i'm the fawn with the purple flowers on it's head) but my deer is literally freaking out and will not stop spinning in place, heh

Hey no worries, I understand

Hey no worries, I understand about the occasional glitching. Heck, 5 minutes before the event, I clicked off TEF to update this and when I clicked back on, Quad was running uncontrollably. I had to reset the game real quick ahaha!

Thanks for coming again guys, it was lovely! That bouncing/skipping/hopping at the end was hilarious too, you made me burst out laughing X3

thanks for having me! it was super duper fun meeting all the other deer and walking with them!! (even though i was struggling not to get ahead of everyone, lol)

I would love to join in but

I would love to join in but sadly, timezones aren't very nice and school demands for its schedules to stay the same.
I think this is an absolutely genius idea, perhaps I'll join you next time ^^

Thank you Quad for another

Thank you Quad for another wonderful walking meditation experience. Seeing all the deer in line "popcorning" exuberantly towards the end of the walk was hilarious! I truly believe this is an amazing and positive way to bring the TEF community together. Looking forward to the next one! :3

I'm actually considering

I'm actually considering implementing that from now on to sort of signal that we're near the end. Like maybe the last 3 minutes or so when Quad starts hopping it's to say we're almost done. I hope the amount of time is okay too, I know firsthand that holding down buttons for 20 minutes does make your fingers sore XD

I'd be happy to have some feedback and ideas for future walks too. Maybe sometime we'll meet at a different place or something.

Hello everyone. Just wanted

Hello everyone.

Just wanted to give you an update -

I haven't forgotten about this, but what has happened since the last time I've done one of these is that I had a fatal error in my laptop that caused it to "Blue Screen of Death". So I attempted to fix it, and just made everything worse. I had to buy a recovery disk, went through a lot of trouble to get my laptop up and running again, and then had to buy a fresh registration key for Windows because it wouldn't leave me alone about activating it. It was all pretty frustrating stuff.

But sadly, since I bought my laptop with Windows 8 technology and THEN upgraded it to Windows 10, it reverted back to Windows 8 so I don't have my recording software to record my walking meditations like I had been doing.

Doesn't mean I can't do these without recording it. But that was something I really enjoyed after all.

I have a recording software at the moment for a select few of my games, it's kind of dumb because it only picks certain games it'll let me record. I'm hoping soonish I'll find a replacement software that I can record everything with. In the meantime, I'll try to schedule some of these again but as I mentioned, they won't be recorded for a while.

Thanks for your patience
