Creativity is not optional, it’s essential to regulating our nervous systems. The ability to regulate your nervous system is your super-power, and the key to improving your mental and emotional well-being. These workshops are also about tuning in to who you were as a kid, and reconnecting with your true nature.
Join me for an inspiring online class where you’ll be given easy to implement tools to activate your creativity, raise your vibration, and learn how to use ‘symbolic sight’ as a mindfulness practice.
This is not like anything else out there. You can do this whether you live in a big city, have a giant redwood forest at your doorstep, or anything in between.
In addition to the fact that spending time in nature can significantly lower your stress hormone levels, here’s just a few of the benefits of participating in this workshop:
• Experience
Give yourself and someone you care about a unique and meaningful creative experience that lasts.
• Enrichment
Doing things that enrich your life with creativity invites more abundance and joy into your life.
• Embodiment
Begin to embody the version of yourself who incorporates creativity and mindfulness with ease into their daily life.
It’s no mistake that you’ve been guided here. You want to do something that will activate more joy in your daily life with ease, simplicity and fun. And you want to step into the best future version of yourself, right now.
I’ve created a unique method to help get you there.
“Carey, thank YOU so very much for this workshop! I found it very helpful and timely. Just the thing I needed to get over a funk I had been in; it gave me a nice boost of connection and creative expression.
I didn’t fully know what to expect when I signed up, but a few tears were shed (my own). It truly was an unforgettable moment in time that, although most of us had never met before, we all ended up bonding over sharing a meaningful experience. I’m so glad I did it.” - Jenny
“The Energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.” - Brene Brown
Scroll through the images below to see an example of a series of photos I made of my son and I, which helps illustrate a series of ‘story-telling images’. My son Gavin is a highly sensitive child, and I often take intentional, story-telling photos of our life using the camera I always have with me, my iphone.
This series is an example of a photo story prompt I created, which falls under the ‘Self Awareness’ category of the 5 pillars of emotional resilience.
The L.E.N.S. Method™ was born out of my love for expressing myself through photography, the journey I’ve experienced with my mental health and regaining my sense of self-worth; coupled with my strong desire to help others using my skills and life experiences.
The framework and photo story prompts I’ve designed for my workshops and 6-week programs are inspired by the 5 pillars of emotional resilience.
Creating images about these concepts helps reinforce them in your mind, and you become a more intentional co-creator of your life.
If I could go back in time and hang out with my teenaged self, I would share that there are 5 Pillars of Emotional Resilience, and that nurturing each one of them is a key to becoming a happy and successful adult. My teenaged self would have rolled her eyes and continued dreaming about being a professional photographer for The New York Times Magazine.
But if I could have learned these simple life-nurturing concepts while doing something fun that I already loved (making photos), then maybe it just might have clicked (pun intended) and the seeds would have been planted.
This is the type of useful knowledge that most of us aren’t taught in schools or growing up, but wish we had been exposed to in some way.
These workshops and programs are approximately 25% about the technical side of how to take better storytelling photos, and 75% inspiration, creativity exchange, emotional connection, and self awareness.
If you’re looking for a photo program that’s primarily about the technical side of photography, with mainly tips for taking better photos with your smartphone or camera, then this may not be the right workshop for you. Schedule a call with me if you’re not sure.
