Friday November 2, 2001
Morning:
Tom talked about various non-physical caretaking issues. Then
students went out to do an inner vision exercise, sensing the landscape in a
much deeper way, with great awareness. Essentially a "walking
meditation".
Then this exercise was repeated in groups, with each group
working towards arriving at a common understanding of the problem in an area,
and arriving at a solution.
Afternoon:
The class went to the Medicine Waters area.
Here each group placed their mouse houses. Tom spoke at length
about the destruction taking place in the area. People were then free to explore
and do some caretaking work in the area.

the class the placement of the mouse house -- how to select the best
location, and how to place it. |

explanation.
The "installed" mouse house is barely
visible at the bottom of this picture, in the center, a slightly
darker patch of leaves. |

"installed", with a notebook for scale.

| After the mouse houses were placed in suitable
locations, the class went down to the shore of the Medicine Waters stream. |

 |
The garbage bags are full
of trash that the class collected from the area. |

Medicine Waters start on the next page...
Evening:
This evening was spent at the Primitive camp. Students were
instructed to wander about the landscape, listening to the land, being open to
whatever comes to them. Then meet together in groups and discuss the exercise. |
