A Contemplative Retreat to Star Island, August 30 - September 1, 2014

My Icon of Star Island - 2013

   My favorite contemplative photographer, Kim Manley Ort is conducting a retreat on Star Island over Labor Day weekend and I will be doing a guest presentation on Visual Listening and Journaling on Sunday morning.  You will learn ways to enter into a conversation with the landscape through a guided meditation and sketching in a little journal I will provide you.

   Kim will be leading activities on practicing mindfulness and discovering the essence of place.  You will come away with a new way to approach your photographic work.

   Star Island is located in the Isles of Shoals off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  I spent a wonderful weekend there last August and you can re-read my On Location posts about my experience here as well as look at my album of images.  

   This place seems custom-made for a contemplative photography retreat and I hope you will consider joining Kim and Me this Labor Day weekend. If you haven't done so already, download the Field Guide for the Contemplative Photographer in the right side bar as some pre-retreat reading.
