Miksang, or “good eye” in Tibetan, is a process of learning to synchronize mind and body, allowing one to open to the world without labeling or evaluating. This first level of training in Miksang contemplative photography purifies our visual perception by working directly with the elements of the visual field: color, light, form, and space. This class includes instructions, assignments, and image reviews. No previous photographic experience is necessary, but participants will need a digital camera.
