MINDFUL NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS FOR SOULFUL BEINGS
Transform Your Life, Heal & Reconnect with Yourself Through Mindful Nature Photography Workshops with Brad Carr.
Transformational Mobile Phone-Friendly Photography Workshops Across Mid Wales & Shropshire from only £15.
After many years wandering amongst the ancient trees of Mid Wales in search of deep wisdom and timeless stories to tell, I've discovered that photography is about much more than ‘capturing’ beautiful images; it's a gateway to healing, presence, and self-awareness.
Mindful photography, when practiced with conscious intention, leads to a profound connection with the spirit of Nature. These beginner-friendly photography workshops offer you a map for the same transformative journey that helped me find peace, belonging, and identity after recovering from domestic abuse-induced childhood trauma.
You don’t need a fancy camera with the latest, most expensive lenses. All you need is a mobile phone to experience a life-enriching spiritual transformation.

About Mindful Photography
‘‘The art of mindful photography, for me, is an embodied practice that, when practiced consciously and with intention, leads to the development of presence and awareness. Being outdoors in the natural world encourages us to become truly present with our environment through sensory engagement. We see, touch, smell, and listen to the landscape. Sometimes we might even taste its sweet fruits or the purity of Mother Nature's waters.
We can learn, therefore, to become present with ourselves when we are immersed in the creative process, engaging with Nature and searching for compositions in our immediate environment. Our minds, bodies, and spirits become one as we photograph ancient trees and silent mountain lakes.
When we scan our surroundings, in the hope that the ever-elusive beauty of a composition reveals itself before our eyes, our energy and awareness can be nowhere else but ‘here’ in the moment. It takes true presence to see meaningful compositions. The more engaged we are in our craft — the more present we are with the landscape — the more likely we are to recognise Mother Nature’s omnipresent beauty.’’
The Benefits of Mindful Nature Photography Workshops:
Reduced Stress & Anxiety
Photography provides a much-needed escape from the mind. During your time in Nature, engaged in the creative process, you’ll probably notice your thoughts stop, your stress subsides, and your awareness comes into the present moment.
A productive photography session can be a soul-cleansing experience — a ‘spiritual reset’, if you like.
Awaken the Inner Child
Reconnect with awe and wonder in the natural world.
Photography encourages experimentation and play. There are no expectations during these workshops. You’ll leave your desire for perfection behind and embrace any ‘mistakes’ as lessons that provide wisdom and create room for growth.
Express Yourself with Safety
Photography provides a wonderful platform for the safe expression of your full self. Not ready to be seen in your rawest moments yet? Channel your grief, fear, shame, joy, and love into your photographs and lighten your emotional load at a safe distance from others.
Learn to See Again
Photography opens the mind to new ways of thinking, building neural pathways in the brain. You’ll learn to see through many different lenses during your time in these workshops. Your view of the world will never be the same again. Creativity increases, cognitive function improves, and awareness expands.
Connect with Something Sacred
Many ancient traditions, such as the Celts and Shamans, viewed the world through an animistic lens, believing that Nature is alive with spirits. When we engage with Nature through the creative process, we enter a state of deep presence and connect with something sacred and divine inside of ourselves.
Develop Vision & Enhance Creativity
Photography opens the mind to new ways of thinking, building neural pathways in the brain. You’ll learn to see through many different lenses when you practice mindful photography. Your view of the world will never be the same again. Creativity increases, cognitive function improves, and awareness expands. Mindful photography, therefore, leads to immense amounts of personal and spiritual growth.
