Contemplative Photography
With Julie Ferraro, Obl.S.B.
May 24 - 26, 2024
With modern cell phones able to take photos, anyone can snap pictures. What, though, do we see in those photos? This retreat will offer participants an opportunity to see – and photograph – the natural surroundings at the monastery and other sights, while contemplating the purpose of those efforts, the results, and how the spiritual journey can progress while considering the beauty being captured with digital technology.
(Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their DSLR or another style camera or cell phone with a high-resolution camera.)
