Columbia County is a place of working farms, open vistas, and primal forests. Sensory Journey fosters navigation of Art Omi’s fields with tactile, audial, olfactory, and visual opportunities for exploration. Multiple elements of engagement for each of our senses provide a heightened visceral encounter with the earth, the landscape, and the sky. Referring to local history, Sensory Journey incorporates Shaker beliefs, valuing rural traditions of spirituality, utility, and respect for the land. Walk, gather, learn, share, and enjoy.
