Zen & The Art of Seeing: Photography As Meditation

Has the onset of Back to School and other Fall schedules got you stressed out? Join local Photographer Elisabeth J

Levy at SOUND Center for Art & Mindfulness in Newtown on September 26 as she shows us how to use

Photography to expand our relationship with Nature and cultivate Inner Peace. As Levy says in the Course description, if you are looking for a strictly technical Photography Course this workshop is not for you. This Course is

about learning to use a Camera as a Meditative tool as well as a source of creative satisfaction.

Levy asks if you have ever looked at the veins in the petal of a flower? Gazed upon the reflections of trees and their

leaves on water? Noticed the beauty of the dance of Light upon snowmelt as it flows down a street? How many colors can you name that you’ve seen glistening on snow? This Mindful Photographer says that when we slow down and look, really Look, we are gifted with “New Eyes” with which to experience the Beauty of Nature at a level that most people never take the time to notice. The process itself is largely the Purpose. The images you create become an added bonus and an inspirational reminder of the value of slowing down to See.

This Course is Suitable for all Levels of Photography Experience & Includes both Theory & Practice In the Field.

Pre-Registration is required. Please Sign-Up at www.soundcenterarts.com.
