  In this work, the problem of constructing geometric flow equations that
preserve Einstein field equations for the spacetime metric is addressed. After
having briefly discussed the main features of Ricci flow, the on-shell flow
equations for a system comprised of a dynamical metric and a set of matter
fields are constructed. Then, two examples in which the matter content is just
a single, self-interacting scalar field are analysed in detail, imposing the
geometric flow equations to be the action-induced ones. In conclusion, an
explicit connection to the Swampland Distance Conjecture is proposed.
