Workshop
Photography is about telling a story and capturing the subtle details of life as you connect with yourself and the world around you. It leads you on an adventure that engages you fully, awakens your curiosity and unearths your compassion, teaching you the importance of patience and gratitude in each moment. It is a deeply personal experience that invites you to slow down as you explore life from many perspectives, open your heart, follow your intuition and discover your vision. It quietly encourages you to take risks, step out of your comfort zone and have fun experimenting with as you gain confidence with your camera and create a piece of art that is unique to you. Once you start on this enriching and inspiring journey you will never be the same.
A focus on cleansing and effective nourishment through plant based nutrition, meditation and exercise causes our bodies to heal and respond in a remarkable way. Our clarity of vision and creativity is powerfully enhanced and our senses are heightened in ways we could never imagine. This has a profound effect on our ability to see, feel, connect and therefore capture striking images of impact. It offers an opportunity to heal ourselves and bring joy to the lives of others as a source of inspiration.
When we see a photo, it speaks to us in different ways through our thoughts, feelings and emotional associations. It opens the mind, soothes the soul with the endless array of colours and possibilities. Allowing us to escape, reflect, dream, imagine and create new visions for our life. It is an art form that teaches us to see the world in new ways, which offers an incredible opportunity for personal growth and transformation.
My intuitive Photography workshop is a unique opportunity designed for anyone on a path of cleansing or focused on enhancing their wellbeing through the combination of meditation and photography.
While you are in a state of feeling refreshed and revitalised it is the perfect time to experience the benefit of meditation and visualisation to enhance your connection and creativity and enjoy this peaceful state as we walk with our cameras to explore the sublime setting around us and create images from the heart.
