What we’re about
Welcome to the Mindful Moments & Memorable Headshots Meetup Group in Cardiff! This group is for individuals who want to:
☀️Cultivate social connection in a safe and gentle space.
☀️Improve their smartphone photography skills for stunning outdoor portraits and memorable headshots.
☀️Connect with nature in beautiful locations like Bute Park, Roath Park and more.
☀️Practice mindfulness to feel more present and find a sense of calm.
Our wellbeing meetups offer a unique opportunity to cultivate presence and manage self-talk, promoting openness and compassionate connection.
Weather permitting, we hold our outdoor sessions in Cardiff to tap into nature's wisdom. With guided prompts, we ease into genuine conversation—there's no pitching or forced introductions.
By combining mindfulness with a smartphone photography workshop, we learn to capture moments and see new perspectives through small shifts in light, composition, and framing. 📸
Join us for a transformative and empowering experience that will leave you feeling confident and more connected with yourself and others.
We'll also offer paid events, which are designed to be a unique blend of a relaxed mini-photoshoot and calming, mindful moments. You'll leave with two high-quality digital photographs for your professional and personal use. More than just a photo, this is an experience that helps you reconnect with your inner strength and beauty.

This unique experience is designed to help you:
- Notice: Step into the season’s potential and notice what’s working. See the changes from what you wanted your goals to be to what they've actually turned out to be.
- Let Go: Just as the trees let go of their leaves and change shades from green to reds and yellows, release the stress and anxiety around "what if," "what could have been," and "what is not supporting you."
- Renew: Recharge your energy before the busy season to set yourself up strong.
