Photographs tell stories and can connect us to our inner essence, to our spiritual lives. The process of making photos, and the photos themselves, bring revelations about who we are, about the world we live in, and about God.

Designed for people wishing to explore faith and spirituality through photography, this recollection/workshop is a journey of commitment, discovery and enrichment.

Taking photos, praying, journaling, and group discussions will redefine the way you look at some aspects of life. Our time will be divided between immersing ourselves in the art of photography, engaging in meditative silence, as well as group sharing our reflections.

You will learn the basics of photography in order for you to create evocative and meaningful images. Participants who bring an openness to venture into new territory will surely begin to see the universe as a heartscape.
