==== Follow Your Botanic Nose ====

Mission by [[:/user/Eleq|Eleuz 'Ashton' Querlano]]

This mission is designed to train your chemical sensory apparatus through scent.

  * pick a street in a city 
  * if you are alone, keep your eyes and ears open but allow the these senses to recede in the background, letting your sense of smell come to the fore; if there are two participants, one person should wear a blindfold and earplugs or headphones: this person is the scent navigator, and the second person is the helper, functioning as the navigator's eyes and ears
  * start walking and navigate by your sense of smell
  * observe how you perceive the city through your nose
  * at the end of the walk create a scent-map, superimposed upon the geographic map of the area
  * if you are with two people, change roles so the navigator becomes the helper and go for another walk

  * **Estimated duration:** from 30 minutes
  * **Estimated number of participants:** 1-2
  * **Vegetal mindfulness:** birch
