Sunday October 28, 2001

Evening:

Kevin gave a brief introductory lecture at the Citta Boy Scout Camp.

• This class is all about restoring balance

• There isn't a single landscape or ecosystem on the entire planet that is in balance. Everything has been impacted by the activities of humans

• The Caretaker's job is to return these landscapes to their natural balance

• Caretaking involves physical and spiritual skills in what is essentially a 3-step process:

  1. diagnose the problem

  2. plan what to do to heal

  3. do it

• According to Stalking Wolf, the key role of humans is to heal the Earth.
