Imagine you stumble upon a strange black lump. As you approach it, a voice invites you to enter a healing machine. Unsure of what to expect, you politely decline the offer. Then you notice the lump begin to wobble, smoke rising from beneath it. A door opens, and a confused-looking woman steps out.

“What was in there?” you ask.
“A landscape,” she replies.

Inspired by the Norse tradition of “Outdoor sitting”,  as a self healing practice, we invented a machine where you could sit outdoor, indoor in a lump. In short O-The Healing Lump was constructed as a mobile lump containing a small weather machine with a magical landscape inside.
