    Book Your Place

Though the Immersive Photography Weekends, I aim to create a unique experience that enables you to explore the benefits of mindful photography in a safe and supportive environment. Each weekend is different, offering you the chance to explore the season's photographic opportunities and philosophical lessons. A mix of indoor teaching and outdoor practical exercises will break up the day between personal exploration and group sharing.

Timings

Both days will run between 9am and 5pm. If you’d like to gather for a warm drink and chat before we begin, I will be on site from 8.30am. The evenings are yours to do as you wish, whether resting, socialising or exploring the area.

Discounted places

If you would like to attend a weekend but feel it is out of your budget, please get in touch. I am happy to offer two discounted places per weekend. I have experienced firsthand how beneficial it can be to attend an event like this, and I want to support you in being able to attend where I can.

“Anyone seeking to develop a connection to nature or deepen an existing one will find Kim’s courses are invaluable. The camera lens is such a powerful means to allow yourself to be in ‘the moment’ and the courses structure and content will open up a whole new and exciting world for students.”

Rod - April 2024

“Kim guided us through a series of mindful photographic exercises that allowed us to connect with nature and to reflect on own wellbeing. She created a calm, supportive environment. I enjoyed spending time in a relaxing location with like-minded people.”
