Out of Isolation: An Introduction to Mindful Photography and Reflective Journaling is a four- week, in-person, creativity-for-wellness workshop series. Participants use photography and journaling to forge paths away from isolation and silence and towards connection and communication. Responding to both photo and journal prompts, participants explore their relationships with self and with their community (including the connections they make with fellow participants). 🗓️ Dates and Times: Saturdays, 9am to 12 noon
January 16, 23 & February 6, 13, 2027 (No session January 30th)
💲 Cost: $315
Each week, Alison and Hannah provide guidance on mindful photography and journaling techniques. The Caetani Centre grounds, heritage house, and gallery offer participants inspiration as they engage with a variety of prompts, techniques, activities, and discussions. All participants are encouraged to reflect on their work during sharing circles and pair work.
The theme of the workshop series - Out of Isolation - draws from the rich and complicated life of Sveva Caetani, an artist, mentor, and teacher whose life story involved dislocation from her homeland, imposed isolation, and silenced creativity, followed by a late-life reemergence into art, teaching, and community. Along with writings and artwork by Sveva Caetani, the facilitators will make use of Neil Gibson's model of therapeutic photography (inspired by Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory) and Kathleen Adams' teachings on structure, pacing and containment when journaling (the journal ladder).
At the end of the course, participants will be invited (but not required) to share the product of their final photo/journaling prompt - "My Recapitulation" - with the class and, again, at the Creating Space Workshop Series showcase in Spring 2027 (details TBA).
No experience with photography or journaling is necessary to sign up for this course. This is a process-focused - as opposed to a craft-focused - workshop series, designed to promote wellbeing, community, self-reflection, creativity, and mindfulness.
