Miksang Photography - Introduction to Contemplative Photography
with MaryBeth McBride and Tom Anderson

Sat May 8th: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PMSun May 9th: 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Price: $115.00

Level I: Looking and Seeing

Miksang is a Tibetan word that translates as ‘Good Eye’, and is based on the Shambhala and Dharma Art teachings of the late meditation master, artist, and scholar Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche. 

When we synchronize eye and mind, we abandon all concepts and predispositions and become completely present in the moment. The world becomes a magical display of vivid perception.  We can develop the ability to experience and express these experiences precisely through the practice of contemplative photography.

About the course:
Teachers - Tallahassee Miksang Group Instructors 

This introductory training includes instruction, assignments and image reviews. The class is open to first-time as well as experienced photographers. 

What to Bring - Your digital camera, empty digital memory, and cables for downloading pictures. Point and shoot type cameras are fine.
