On this retreat we will be exploring our relationship to the landscape and the world around us, through the lens of meditation and photography - taking a contemplative approach to image-making with the camera.
We will focus on the importance of going beyond just looking - to really seeing with our whole heart, mind, and body. Using all our senses we will explore the world around us before we try to create images, in big views or in more intimate details. Using inspiration from Buddhist tradition and meditation techniques, we will create an atmosphere within the retreat where awareness can naturally feed into the creative process.
There will be minimal technical photography teaching on this retreat with the emphasis being on photography coming out of meditative experience and our connection to nature. You are welcome to use a digital camera or phone camera. For more information, read the retreat information sheet.
An introductory retreat - no previous experience of meditation is assumed - the retreat is suitable for complete beginners, and can also be a good refresher for those who already have some meditation experience.
