sketch/note books, pens, pencils etc

Thoughts/Ideas
Document the experience: -how we create our space/place within the landscape
                                        -how we use it
                                        -our relationship with the space/place
                                        -our relationship with landscape
                                        -our relationship with each other
                                        -our reflections
                                        -what we can take from the experience
How do we document:     -take samples- earth, plant life, minerals,
                                        -sketch
                                        -photography
                                        -dictaphone
                                        -keeping a diary
                                        -creative writing
What to document:           -daily physical activities- a physical perspective
                                        -reflections on how our activities make us feel-an emotional perspective
                                        -what we create- through insight, inspiration, an action that relates to the  space/place/landscape/emotions- a spiritual perspective
