Morning:

Tom talked about the meditation he taught yesterday, and awareness. Essentially a mini-review of Philosophy 1 class (since that was not a prerequisite of this class).

He described the consciousness of the caretaker.

The class then went out, each person with a partner, and did an exercise trying to feel the healthy and sick parts of trees. This exercise was done blindfolded, so as to help develop the "feeling" of what is healthy/sick with the tree. Pairs of students took turns sensing and leading. Essentially, the object was to sense the tree's aura.

Afternoon:

After lunch the class went to the Tracker Primitive camp. Each group was to do a meditation to determine what was to be done in their group caretaking area (from Monday). Then the groups went out to implement this vision (ie, do caretaking work) in their area.

There's pictures of this activity on the following pages.

Evening:

Repeat the tree aura exercise of this afternoon, but in the dark, without blindfolds.
