Mindfulness and Photography:

We capture our learnings on our smartphones. This is not a photography course, and no specialist equipment is required. A smartphone camera is absolutely perfect.

You'll be invited to slow down, take notice, and capture photographs of anything that catches your attention or sparks your curiosity.

There will be opportunities for gentle reflection and facilitated discussion, helping us explore not only what we notice in nature, but also what those observations might reveal about ourselves.

The experience is designed to be relaxed, welcoming, and accessible to complete beginners. No previous experience of photography, mindfulness is needed.

Please bring your own picnic (no nuts) we will provide warm drinks and light snacks.

Come along for a friendly morning of nature, noticing, conversation, and connection.
