Contemplative Nature Photography

The Barn at Historic RittenhouseTown 208 Lincoln Drive, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Join us for a contemplative approach to photographing nature using smartphones. The emphasis will be on the process, not the product. Walking meditation, mindful breathing, and contemplative appreciation of nature will be the doorways into a reflection on our relationship to nature. What images do we see? What stories do we create about what we observe? Can we learn to see familiar sights with new eyes?
