Workshop goals –
The Miksang Contemplative Photography workshop is open to novice and
experienced photographers. It is a workshop for professional artists,
amateur artists, artists at heart, or the curious wanting to explore the
visual richness of their world.
In Miksang, we are working to “re-image” the way that you think, talk about, and practice photography.
In this workshop you will learn and experience:
-The five elements to become a better photographer
-Creativity and inspiration
-Expanding your awareness
-Looking at your world in a new way-Being mindful of the present moment without judging, reflecting, or thinking
-Discovering and capturing the ordinary magic of the world
Students will need a digital camera for the workshop. A laptop computer for downloading photos is optional.
