About this Event
The Seasonal Lens – Spring: Awakening
A Mindful Photography Day in Nature
Imagine spending a spring day in a beautiful garden, camera in hand and curiosity guiding what you notice.
The Seasonal Lens – Spring: Awakening is a gentle creative day exploring mindful photography, seasonal awareness and the art of noticing.
It’s not a technical photography workshop. Instead it is an invitation to slow down, experience the landscape differently and capture the quiet beauty of spring.
Set within the beautiful surroundings of Abbeywood Gardens, this small group experience invites you to explore and create — paying attention to light, colour, texture and the subtle details of spring that we might otherwise pass by.
Through a series of simple invitations and seasonal practices we will enjoy:
• mindful photography in nature
• noticing small seasonal details and patterns
• working with natural light, colour and texture
• reflective journaling and creative prompts
• gentle sharing and conversation
You are welcome to bring a phone or camera — whatever you normally use.
No photography experience is required.
Just curiosity and a willingness to slow down.
What the Day Includes
Throughout the day you will be guided through gentle photography invitations and reflective creative exercises inspired by the spring landscape.
Refreshments are included throughout the day:
• morning coffee or tea with pastries
• seasonal lunch
• afternoon tea and cake
You will also receive:
• a small notebook and pen for the day
• a downloadable mindful photography guide to continue the practice afterwards
• a small take-home sample of the Awakening seasonal blend
(Lime and Roman Chamomile in coconut oil)
This scent will be used during the day as a gentle sensory anchor supporting curiosity, patience and presence.
