Exploring Photography as Contemplative Practice

Facilitated by Christine Baker

Photography as contemplative practice has been explored by Thomas Merton, Christine Valters Paintner, Chögyam Trungpa, and others from many global spiritual traditions. This workshop will allow us to discover how to look slowly and with gratitude and compassion for the world around us. Through quiet looking activities and time for reflection, we will practice shifting our vision beyond mere surface appearances to seeing as silent worship, lingering in moments of beauty, wonder, and delight. No equipment or previous photography experience necessary.
Bring a fully charged cell phone and an open mind.

$20 / Session or $30 for both
