Through a lens lightly

Ever wonder why people seem so drawn to photography? 

Whether they’re peering through pages of images gone by at family reunions, or gaping at front-page sensations in the local newspaper, viewers have been significantly impacted by such captured moments.

What is it about photography that draws people in?  Jan Phillips, Executive Director of The Livingkindness Foundation, views this art as “an act of intimacy… between other individuals and herself, the earth and herself, or the great
mysteries and herself.”

Having utilized a camera to “express her emotions, heartbreaks and hope since 1969,” Phillips will soon be sharing her experiences via a Spirituality & Practice e-course.   

Themes within this course will include the following:  …retraining our eyes to see divinity in our midst…  identifying our commonness with those who seem
different…  discovering new ways to add light to the world.
