What we’re about
About the Group:
Healing Through the Lens is a welcoming community based in Austin, Texas, where photography meets mental wellness. Whether you’re an experienced photographer or just beginning your creative journey, this group provides a safe, supportive space to explore self-expression through your own unique photos. As a psychiatrist with a passion for photography, I founded this group to merge art and healing, using the power of imagery to foster mindfulness, emotional growth, and creative connection.
What to Expect:
- Photo Walks & Outings: Join us on guided walks around Austin’s scenic spots like Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake, and downtown murals.
- Workshops & Discussions: Participate in sessions that blend photography techniques with mindfulness exercises and creative expression, occasionally incorporating insights from mental health.
- Sharing & Reflection: Enjoy informal meetups where members share their work, discuss the emotions behind their photos, and offer supportive feedback.
- Guest Speakers: Look forward to occasional talks from art therapists, experienced photographers, and wellness experts who share their perspectives on using art for healing.
Why Join?
This group is designed for anyone looking to use photography as a tool for personal insight and emotional well-being. By merging creative practice with mindful reflection, we aim to capture not just images, but the beauty of healing and self-discovery.
