in this moment, never again
It’s all right to go at your own pace, step away from the hustle, sit under a tree by a fire, pause, reflect, or collect your thoughts, and savor a coffee or tea by sipping it slowly and enjoying its subtle nuances.
To take a long way home, on a country road, where the birds idle on wires and the skies are vast and dreamy
to take rest when you need it, to recharge
it’s all right to spend time doing nothing. To allow moments of stillness to BE, rather than do, to enjoy the simple joys, of beauty and pleasure. that life can bring.
This season, I invite you to live in it. Tuning in and connecting with yourself, others, and your surroundings through your senses. Take the time to notice what you are a part of and find a little ease and comfort in whatever form it arrives and finds you.
THE FLANEUR WAY

MI CASA SU CASA
”my home is your home”
MI CASA SU CASA translates to my home is your home. In this new series curated by Jennifer Cloutier, she invites you to her home for a creative and wellness experience, themed around HOME & HAND-made expressions, experiences, rituals, and traditions.
It is an invitation to gather around a table with a community of like-minded people, to notice and connect to the senses, others, and all the details that surround you.
As a host she crafts together a moment that shares the knowledge and skills witnessed, acquired, and passed on through generations, her world travels, and over a lifetime of being an observer. Merging several different cultures, traditions, and rituals, she aspires to offer a moment where you can come to learn, connect, exchange ideas and expressions, and just be.
Whether that be making bread, a drawing, or perhaps a ceremony over a cup of tea, each experience will be unique to the other as she thoughtfully curates a genuine experience that is tangible, visceral, and immersive for you to be a part of.
I look forward to welcoming you into my casa and sharing my home and handmade expressions, rituals, and traditions.
In a world that favors the hustle over the pause and the doing over the being, this series invites you to slow down, pause, and linger in the moment to notice what you are a part of.

Jennifer Cloutier
Growing up in the Canadian countryside, Jennifer quickly fell into the role of a wanderer, and silent observer. Taking long walks in the nearby forests, to connect with nature and tap into her creativity. These reflective moments have always been a part of her life. Deepening her passion for exploration, and yearning to seek and learn more, she eventually went off to explore the world. Having the incredible opportunity she has traveled extensively. Each person, place, culture, and experience has formed her into who she is today.
Trained as a visual artist, and wellness educator, she uses her background to guide, teach, and create, unique programs, walks, sensory experiences, products, and services that bring a focus to creativity, well-being, and exploration. Encouraging moments of awareness, reflection, and connection, to yourself, others, and the world around us through the senses.

OBSERVE
It is about being a witness. Slowing down, checking in, and observing yourself, others, and all that surrounds you. Tuning in with all your senses to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel the daily aspects of life. Bringing awareness to the moments, as they unfold
EXPLORE
It is about getting out and exploring, wandering without limitations, boundaries, or a plan. Noticing the simple and small things from the spaces you encompass, the places you travel, and the people you cross paths with daily.
CREATE
Notice that art resides in everything and everywhere. As observers of this life, we are all artists. We all have a way of creating, processing, and expressing. It is about awakening the artist within by inspiring and nourishing creativity that already exists.
