The Way of Domei (signed copy)

Orders will ship during the third week of November. Knowing about a plant is not the same as knowing a plant. We can learn a plant’s name, read about its uses and recognise it in a field guide. But there is another kind of knowing that comes from spending time with it: noticing the shape of a leaf, the scent it releases, the way it changes in the wind or how it looks after rain. The Way of Domei offers forty-five simple practices for exploring that kind of attention. You might follow the edge of a leaf, listen beneath a tree, notice the textures and colours around a plant, or return to it in different weather. Each practice gives you a way to begin. There is no special equipment, prior knowledge or spiritual belief required. One plant is enough. It might be growing through a crack in the pavement, in a hedgerow beside a country lane, in your garden or on a windowsill. You can spend a few quiet minutes with it, then come back another day and see what you notice. The invitation is simply to slow down, use your senses and meet the plant where it is. About the author Robin Harford is a writer, foraging teacher and contemplative naturalist, and the founder of Eatweeds. For more than thirty-five years, he has explored our relationships with wild plants through foraging, folk herbalism and contemplative ecology. He developed Domei as a simple, embodied practice of meeting plants through sustained attention.
