Wabi-Sabi Photography Experience |  Seeing Beauty

Step into the Garden and slow your pace in our Wabi-Sabi Photography Experience: Seeing Beauty, a mindful exploration of imperfection and presence. Guided by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, you'll learn to see beauty without striving for perfection, capturing just one meaningful photograph with your cell phone during a quiet, intentional walk. Through reflection, journaling, and a gentle guided meditation, this experience invites you to notice what's often overlooked and to recognize beauty exactly as it is, in the world and within yourself. You'll leave with a printed copy of your photograph and a simple daily practice that will help you carry this way of seeing into everyday life. 

Wabi-Sabi

1. Through acceptance, you find freedom; out of acceptance, you find growth. Uketamo, which means “I humbly accept with an open heart.”
2. All things in life, including you, are in an imperfect state of flux, so strive not for perfection, but for excellence instead.
3. Appreciate the beauty of all things, especially the great beauty that hides beneath the surface of what seems to be broken.
4. Slow and simple, is the only way, to feel the joy of what it means to be alive.
5. To be content exactly where you are with all that you already have, is to be happy.
