Let's walk together: a mindful photo-poetry walk with Artist Yannis Lobaina

Explore a new way to connect with yourself and convey your emotions through photography. Join me at one of my cherished locations where I find inspiration and nourishment as an artist. Together, we can explore one of my ways of approaching nature photography through Mindful photography: being in the present moment, seeing what is around us, accepting things without judgment, and finding beauty in the ordinary.

Let’s walk together and celebrate the art of slowing down as a collective!

Yes, this event is FREE. Cost: PWYC (Pay What You Can)! This is a suggested contribution for my offering as an artist and mindful walk facilitator. You can bring cash, pay by PayPal, or set up direct deposit. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Thanks so much.

Let’s cultivate Empathy and Connectedness through Nature and Photography.

At the end of the walk, we will have time for rest and a gathering where all the participants can share their experiences and insights. Together, we will reflect on their adventure of Mindful Photography and Nature Meditative Walk.

I'll take you to one of my favourite spots where I find inspiration and capture some of my best photographs.
