Workshops & Retreats

Jean-Pierre Plé

“With all of Kim’s classes, I find my ability to see the extraordinary in the ordinary and the ordinary in the extraordinary get sharper.”

Mary Lynn Muir

“If this is your first class with Kim, it probably won’t be your last. I’ve taken all of her courses, more than once. They’ve deepened my understanding of visual design through hands-on experience with a supportive group and Kim’s insightful guidance.”

Annie Davidsen

“Kim’s classes are therapeutic, allowing contemplation and creativity. I enjoy the camaraderie and sharing of pictures in the class flickr group and Kim’s links to supplemental articles. Kim has a remarkable way of keeping the class connected!”

Kathee Cadwell

“What a difference your classes have made in my life! I now journal at least 1-2 days a week just to keep a record of my pauses. My images tell me detailed stories filled with emotion and memories. I fill my gardens with objects and flowers that not only catch the light but ground me from the craziness of this world.”

I believe that truth and meaning emerge when we see life clearly, as it is before preconceptions kick in – the beauty, the magic, and also the challenges.

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve offered online and in-person group experiences, with contemplative practices, photo-based and otherwise, that help you do just that. They’ve been inspiring, challenging, and supportive for everyone involved, including me. Those who have participated tend to be curious, compassionate, and adventurous people who want to slow down and see their everyday lives in new and surprising ways. They want to connect to what touches their heart and soul.

Currently, I am only writing online, mainly through Substack, but many of these workshops have been converted to downloadable PDF’s, and even a book. You’ll find links to them below. If you’re someone who wants to get out of your comfort zone and create a daily practice of being and seeing, then one of these courses may be just what you need.
