Embrace the Power of Mindful Photography and Nature Meditative Walk with Artist Yannis Lobaina

Let’s join artist Yannis Lobaina on a mindful photo nature walking meditation along the beautiful Kay Gardner Beltline Trail. 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 nourishing myself 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 judgement, and finding beauty in the ordinary.

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

Let's Celebrating Culture Days 2024! 15 Years!

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.
