Contemplative Photography Course

Contemplative Photography Course

Join us for a series of four workshops to deepen our practice of mindfully connecting with the present moment through photography.

This workshop series includes mindful exercises to notice your sensory and emotional experience without judgment. Activities to focus your attention while taking photos will be offered with time to practice and dive into your own individual experience. This is a workshop series -you are signing up for all four workshops!
Location and themes: Each workshop in this series takes place at a different location in Ottawa (accessible by public transit) featuring a unique natural environment. Each event offers a different approach to contemplative photography and theme to explore each time:

Experimental Farm: Visual Journey & Curiosity | April 10.
Rideau River: Move Closer & Seeing the Extraordinary in the Ordinary | May 1.
Richelieu Forest: Colour & Wonder | May 22.
Mud Lake: Framing & Beauty | June 12.

Timing: The four workshops take place every three weeks: April 10, May 1, May 22, June 12. Each event is on a Friday afternoon from 2-3:30pm.
Who should sign up: This workshop series is for anyone who is curious to give it a try! No artistic skills required. Just bring your enthusiasm, willingness to explore the natural environment, and a camera (a cell phone is great). Don't forget to dress for the weather!
