Mindful Photography Workshop in Ajijic Mexico



Can you think of any place more beautiful than Lake Chapala to take photographs?

Cynthia is taking her 30 plus years experience as a professional photographer and an adult lifetime as a meditator to teach a workshop called Mindful Photography, Mexico. 

It does not matter if you are a professional photographer or have a budding interest in photography, these classes will help you to see with a camera and without. Bring whatever camera that feels most comfortable to you. It can be an Android or iPhone, a point and shoot, a digital professional camera or even a polaroid. This workshop is not about hardware. It is about learning to see, calming your mind and discovering your creative style.


This workshop includes three 1½ hour classes. We will cover 12 mindful principles that will that will dramatically help you improve your photography (four each class). 

At the end of this workshop you will have a greater sense of your creative vision and style as a photographer. And you will learn how to use your photography practice as your mindful practice.
