The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness.” “The ideas are a summons, a summons towards another world, a call from one who knows and who is able to show us the way." Who was Gurdjieff? Georgi Ivanovich Gurdjieff (c.a. …

In this group, we take it slow! Rather than rushing around taking thousands of photos, we learn to stand still, be present and see the beauty of the moment right before our eyes. Then we discover the most astonishing photos are not taken by us, but given to us. Photography offers a path to mindfulness and can be a form of meditation that connects you to the beauty of daily life. In this moment, we feel revitalized, refreshed, and awake! Do you love to just get so into taking photos you loose tra …
