Description

Photography can be a meditative process, and by bringing an intentional mindfulness to everyday subjects we can explore the inner life of those subjects and of ourselves.

Blending concepts of Zen, Vipassana, and other contemplative traditions with the art of photography, in this class we’ll combine mindfulness practices with exercises in seeing. Through these practices and exercises, and some brief forays into post-processing, we can come to know ourselves better while finding interest in even the most mundane subjects.

All that's needed for this class is an open mind, any type of camera (including phones), internet access to share images.

This class is held on Zoom and will be recorded in case you miss one.

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
