Enlightenment Project 2010 "A Weekend in the Wild"

Our humanities class recently finished up a project on enlightenment. we were given a shallow pool of knowledge on famous forms of enlightenment, and the people whom made them famous. We studied Transcendentalism, Buddhism and enlightenment by experience, enlightenment by reason, and enlightenment for a community. We also did a brief presentation of an enlightened figure in society. I chose to do a project based on transcendentalism, which is defined as, "any system of philosophy emphasizing the intuitive and spiritual above the empirical and material" I decided that if I was to experience this form of enlightenment to its fullest during a project, then I should simply go out and do it. So here is my Weekend in the Wild
