Tumalo Week 3: Closing Circle

Everyone sits together to sum up our day and share our writing and/or art

   It's Week 3 at Tumalo! As our day came to an end we got together for our closing circle to take some time to sum up what we did that day. There was also time to read a part of our writing from solitude & reflection or share the artwork we had done. It was nice to sit down after a long day's work and talk about what we accomplished. It was also nice to hear some of the pieces of writing from student's reflections, and I think it helped us all connect to the place better. 

   We all loaded the group gear into the bus, made sure we “left no trace” and said goodbye to Tumalo for today, eager for the next time we would come out.

All of us sitting together as we shared pieces of work from our Fieldwork Journals
