Theme - Letting Go

Pause and observe nature slowing down, while feeling gratitude for what the harvest has brought your way. Photograph the beautiful autumnal leaves and fungi. Opportunity to reflect and release with the natural rhythm of fall.
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.
