energy lab

Do you feel blocked in an area of your life? Are you curious about how an exploration of your creativity might increase your intuition and bring you closer to what makes you uniquely you? Would you like to build your photography abilities while exploring ways to expand your creativity? Energy Lab is a new educational platform that is my brainchild–a place where I share my unique perspective on the intersections of art and spirituality.

intuitive photography 1.1

your guide

I believe that every human possesses creativity and has the capacity to experience joy in creating things. I would love to teach you some techniques that I have learned over the course of my career. I combine more than 20 years of photography expertise with 14 years’ training in yoga and 3 years' training in human energetics. In this series of courses, I share actionable photography techniques and personal energetic practices focused on creating space in body and mind.

conscious expression
 

Across the five weeks, you’ll learn to develop your personal style of photographic self-portraiture with confidence and will grow in awareness of your body’s subtle energies. Central to the course is the exploration of self-portraiture as a vehicle for conscious expression, including the truth that every human has the intuitive drive to express themselves creatively. We will delve into the art of photography, learning specific techniques and basic software editing in order to make our photographs interesting and engaging. 

light+space

In this course students learn the creative and technical aspects of digital photography using either a digital camera or a camera on their mobile device. You’ll learn the basics of photo editing using the available free software and will have the opportunity to express yourself through the medium and build confidence in your creative abilities. This course addresses aesthetic principles as they relate to composition, space, exposure, light, and color and shares specific techniques to make your photos look more professional and engaging.

Sundays

On Sundays we will cultivate mindfulness and presence through guided relaxation techniques and gentle movement. You will learn techniques for calming the nervous system and how to settle the “monkey mind.”
