$ Seeing Differently: A Lenten Journey with Your Camera (BeADisciple.com)
February 12 All day
Course Dates:
February 12 – March 29, 2024
Lent is a wonderful time to add spiritual practices in order to deepen your spiritual journeys. Using our cameras (including cell phone cameras) to “See Differently” is a wonderful way to expand our spiritual sight. In a hectic world it is easy to look and not see. Our minds and bodies are so preoccupied that we don’t see with the eyes of our heart. The class will involve photographing suggested items in new ways and reflecting on the experience. Photo ideas/thoughts for Lent will vary from last year’s course and the movement of the Spirit along with new participants makes every class “new.” Val Isenhower, experienced teacher and author on photography as a spiritual practice, will lead this Lenten study of “Seeing Differently.” Val checks the blog several times a day to comment on posts.
New assignments are posted every other day. The course begins the Monday before Ash Wednesday and ends on Good Friday. However, it is suggested that participants continue spirituality and photography practices through Easter and share final reflections on Easter Monday. Participants are asked to share thoughts and experiences on the discussion board two or more times a week based on their insights and visual experiences of seeing differently. We will use the class blog in Blackboard to share our photos and reflections.
This course is based on the concepts offered in Meditation on Both Sides of the Camera. Learners are asked to purchase Meditation on Both Sides of the Camera, by Valerie K. Isenhower.
This course is for anyone interested in learning how to combine photography and the spirituality to open their eyes to new things. Any type of camera will work, although digital cameras will make uploading pictures easier.
This course is eligible for 2.0 CEUs.
