Do you enjoy recording images with your camera? Have you ever thought of combining the visual aspect of photography with journaling? This class taught by Val Isenhower, photographer and ordained minister, is an experiential class combining the spiritual practice of journaling with the spiritual practice of photography.
Photo journaling is a wonderful avenue for listening to God. Through prayer, our photos often reflect our internal journeys. Participants will have an opportunity to explore different methods of photo journaling. We will use a class blog to share photos, experiences and thoughts on the different methods. Participants will also have the opportunity to share journal entries through private communication with Val if they wish. New assignments and the movement of the Spirit along with new participants makes every class “new.”
This class is a wonderful opportunity to explore a new way of journaling or continue one you’ve tried before. New ideas/thoughts for journals will be available every other day. Participants are encouraged to share experiences on the blog at least every other day and to connect with other participants while there. Val checks the blog several times a day to comment on posts.
Any type of camera will work, although digital cameras will make uploading pictures easier.
The course is based on the book Meditation on Both Sides of the Camera by Valerie K. Isenhower. The book may be helpful to you, but is not required for this course.
This course is eligible for 2.0 CEU.
