mingling
Circulating among others
Mingling is mixing or circulating, especially among people at social gatherings.
You mingle at a party by moving through the crowd, making small talk with different groups rather than staying in one spot: She spent the cocktail hour mingling with potential clients.
Things that mingle blend together: The smell of coffee mingled with cigarette smoke.
