The purpose of this group is to explore various ways to deepen our relationship with the inner process of creativity and personal expression. We will work with methods of attunement designed to increase our awareness and help us get more deeply in touch with what is most meaningful to us. Through this process we can discover how this awareness contributes to the making of photographic images that come from a place of connection to our inner self. Not knowing how to recognize this - or reluctance to embrace and honor this in oneself and other barriers, may keep us from truly pursuing what we love as a means of personal fulfillment and / or livelihood. By deepening our internal connection we can expand our awareness of the motivating forces within that seek to fulfill this means of expression. By developing a greater awareness of the atmosphere in which we find ourselves we can align with these forces and bring more of ourselves into the process, creating meaningful photographs that arise from the deepest place in one’s being. This is about getting to know who you are from the inside out - and developing an awareness, an understanding, of how this relates to, and can be expressed through your creative life - and how your creative life can become a more dynamic guiding influence in the sphere of your life’s work and pleasure. Once these qualities are given space to emerge they tend to develop naturally - their potency and momentum more readily apparent, more easily recognized and experienced. From this place we can begin to support ourselves in a deeper way that allows this unfolding and allows these qualities of self expression to flourish.
Some of the methods to be explored in this process include journaling, inquiry (asking powerful questions), right brain exercises, breath and body awareness, kinesthetic and perceptual awareness, and meditation.
In group we will explore the inner self and it’s influence on the creative process. We will work with various attunement practices for deepening our relationship to the inner self and to increase our capacity for accessing the creative potential held within. We will use methods of journaling, inquiry (asking powerful questions), right brain exercises, breath and body awareness, kinesthetic and perceptual awareness, and meditation. No particular spiritual orientation is required or expected in the meditation practice or in our approach to this work, however you will be exposed to a variety of practices from Eastern and Western based philosophies. In addition to these practices we will share photographs that come out of this process and discuss the source and impact of our experience.
There is a deepening in this type of exploration that matures over time. I am asking participants to commit to the group and to the entirety of the process. This requires a commitment to attend each session and that you work on the process and on your photography in between sessions.
