Being here
You don't have to come to Roohmi to accomplish anything. Just be. Sit under a tree. Watch the reservoir. Walk without a destination. Listen to the rain. Talk. Don't talk. Read. Sleep. Eat.
See
Mist moving across the hills. New leaves. Changing light. A bird landing where you were looking.
Five Senses
Hear
Rain on the roof. Wind through grass. Frogs after dark. A silence that isn't really silent.
Smell
Wet earth. Leaves. Wood smoke. Food being cooked.
Something that grew nearby. Something seasonal. Something simple.
Taste
Feel
Rain, sun, soil, cool stone—and the different rhythm of a day spent outdoors.
Food
Food is one of the ways we meet the landscape.
Â
Some of what we eat comes from the land around us, grown naturally and seasonally.
Â
What appears on the plate depends on soil, water, weather, insects, labour and time.
Eating makes all those relationships unexpectedly immediate.
