Field Rituals

Before entering a site, consider a ritual of attunement:

• Pause at the threshold.

• Observe the terrain.

• Note flora, fauna and human traces.

• Ask permission, from land, history and memory.

This ritual is not mystical, it is mindful. It transforms the act of detection into a gesture of respect.
