This September and October, Michael Wood and Julie DuBose will be offering an in-depth, on-line Zoom workshop consisting of 8 classes, one per week, which will take students through the first two foundational courses of Miksang Training. These two courses- “Opening the Good Eye: The Mechanics of Seeing” and “Making Contact: Relaxing This, Discovering THAT,” are fundamental to the practice and understanding of Miksang Contemplative Photography.
The first part of the Foundational course begins with Opening the Good Eye: The Mechanics of Seeing, how we can see our world as it actually is without imposing our ideas, preferences, and interpretations upon our experience of seeing.
The second part of the Foundational course , Making Contact: Relaxing This, Discovering “THAT” explores seeing beyond the central reference of “me” or “this”, so that our experience of seeing is no longer filtered through our personal database of what we like, don’t like, or ignore.
- There are only 3 spaces still available for this workshop.
