“Mindful” by Rainbow-Wolf Sabin
Sometimes we get stuck in seeing the world around us from the same perspective day after day. We get caught in our routines and hustle through our days without stopping to take pause, take notice of our surroundings in a meaningful way.
Using a camera lens (any camera lens will do—including your smartphone!) we will learn to notice and observe our surroundings from new perspectives. Mindfulness has been scientifically proven to promote an overall sense of well-being in its practitioners, however sometimes more traditional practices may not always resonate, and that’s okay. Through this workshop you can explore and learn the fundamental concepts of mindfulness through a fun and creative medium! All levels of experience with both photography and mindfulness are welcome—including none! This workshop does not focus on technical photography skills, but rather the experience of viewing ourselves, our immediate surroundings, and our connections to the world at large through a new and different lens.
This program focuses on teaching the fundamentals of mindfulness through fun and creative means. It utilizes photography as a tool to explore present moment awareness, curiosity, non-judgment and gratitude while viewing the world from a new perspective. This program does not focus on technical photography skills, so participants only need a smartphone, though all photography equipment is welcome. Part of the workshop will take place outdoors if weather permits, otherwise it will be adapted to take place indoors.
Participants will need access to some kind of camera—a smartphone will suffice, works great and is strongly encouraged, though participants can bring any camera they choose to work with, or multiple camera options. This workshop will mainly be inside, but may move outside for part of the time if weather permits.
