‘‘The wound is the place where the light enters you.’’

— Rumi

My name is Brad Carr, and I am the founder of Finding Light. I am many things, some of which cannot be described with words alone. In the physical world, I am an internationally recognised landscape photographer, writer, mentor, and creative practitioner. In the unseen world of spirit, however, I cannot be limited to words and titles; I can only be felt.

I was born in the south of England. In 2000, I landed with my family in the hills and valleys of Mid Wales via many corners of the UK. I have spent the past 25 years amongst ancient trees here, following an unsettled and turbulent childhood. The ancient oaks and silver birch trees have held me through many periods of darkness, modelling presence and safety, becoming my best friend, father, and therapist along the way.

I have found peace and healing in Nature and forged a deep sense of purpose through the practice of photography and creative writing. My words and photographs have featured internationally in renowned magazines and in exhibitions that have reached 20,000 people, and I have featured on leading podcasts to share my story of hope, healing, and transformation.

I now exist to help people like you find your place in the world, return home to yourself, heal old wounds, turn pain into beauty, and transform your mindset to live a deeper and more meaningful life.

Finding Light exists to use the mystical powers of Nature & creative practice to deepen self-awareness, heal the soul, and awaken humanity to new levels of consciousness.

Our core offerings are private, 1-1 creative writing sessions and transformative group workshops using the art of photography, which are centered around Brad’s ‘learning to see again’ creative philosophy

Through creative practice and intuitive, spirit-led guidance, we help people reconnect with their innate, creative power, build confidence, uncover and feel their authentic emotions, and integrate lost parts of the soul.

Our creative sessions are said to have helped others find healing at the deepest psychological and spiritual level.

‘‘I have learnt so much through these sessions, things about myself and the people around me that I never took notice of.  I have also been pulled closer and closer to the beauty around me through every session.  You have given me an opportunity to grow in so many ways.  You’ve also given me a chance to practice my photography and my creative writing.  I never thought I’d be sitting here today with a book full of poems and songs, and a camera filled with not only beautiful pictures, but beautiful memories.’’

‘‘Pain is the great awakener—a catalyst for change. If we find the courage to relinquish control of our emotions, let go when we find ourselves desperately trying to hold on, and allow ourselves to feel what is within deeply, we can make our pain the most incredible gift, and become alchemists of the modern world, transmuting our pain into beauty and bringing healing to the world at large.’’

‘‘Brad created such a safe, supportive space with a strong focus on self-expression. He brought out the best in the young people, encouraging them to open up, share, and support each other in a way that was genuinely beautiful to witness. His approach was warm, respectful, and inspiring, and it was clear that the young people felt completely comfortable in his presence.

What stood out most was how naturally Brad built trust – several of the young people even mentioned how much they appreciated the atmosphere he created, and how easy it was to express themselves honestly around him.’’

  • Photographing Feelings

    At one point in our formative years, we were all sensitive to the touch of our mothers’ soft hands upon our skin and the sound of her gentle voice in our ears. Why then, I ask, do we spend most of our lives desperately trying to abandon our true selves and forget our true nature? In a world quickly overrun by data and machines – machines that can now apparently ‘create’ art – maybe it is time that we doubled down on what makes us human. That means excavating and exploring the worlds we have kept hidden inside our fragile hearts for so long.

  • The Sunshine After Rain

    I have known sadness,
    and I have known pain,
    but at least now I know what it’s like
    to feel the sunshine after rain.

  • Learning to See Again

    The deep reflective process of spending time in Nature allows us to bring forth into the conscious mind what was once buried in the unconscious. As we walk in a state of meditation beside the silent waters, we dredge the waters of our internal lake, often bringing to the surface the muddied, forgotten memories of our youth. As we rid ourselves of this mud that we bathe in, we scrape off the years of conditioning and the adopted beliefs about who we are, and we can begin to see what we are beyond physical form in the infinite world of spirit. When we learn to see ourselves beyond our immediate physical form, then we can see the soul of another. We begin to look past the unconscious actions and words of a person’s ego and become aware instead of the pure energy and light that often exists behind their immediate expressions.

  • A New Dawn

    I look out of the window at the world that is whizzing by.
    Silhouettes of pine trees against the twilight blue sky.
    These are the moments that help to reprogram my mind.

  • Cleansing the Soul

    My heartbeat falls into rhythm with that of the earth and we dance in perfect harmony across the woodland floor. The trees stand as witnesses of my hearts’ truest expression and, in these precious moments, the soul that resides within reunites with the eternal soul of Nature.

    Following such moments, it is difficult to look into the eyes of another human and see an enemy. I realise that the same feelings, and the same soul, exists, too, inside of them. It is important, therefore, that mornings like these are experienced regularly. Too long spent away from the soul of Nature and our own true, authentic, expressive nature, might cause a person to become disconnected from their heart.

Brad Carr uses creativity to connect with his true nature, unearth a more authentic version of himself, and transmute emotional pain into beauty.

He guides you to do the same through his private creative writing sessions.
