Event Details

Saturday, October 4 | 9:00am – 2:00pm | The Anchor House | $35

Join us for a guided contemplative retreat using photography as a contemplative practice to see with your heart. Participants will use their cell phone cameras as a way to pay attention to the present moment rather than capture a perfect photo.

Thomas Merton said he used his zen camera to practice being “aware, mindful, of illusion” to learn to see with eyes of the heart that “the gate of heaven is everywhere.”

The cost of the retreat is $35 and includes lunch. We don’t want anyone to miss out because of pricing. Please contact Haley Brown at hbrown@chapelwood.org for scholarship information.
