LETS CREATE TOGETHER:
Anyone can wonder, craft and be an artist in our modern world. This accessible act of regeneration combined with artistic creation is a candle wick on which to burn a lifelong passion for photography while collaborating with the natural world. We find ourselves in a time when nature and the planet needs our focus and loving eyes upon her, more than ever.
This artistic practice is a passionate way to heal inside each day or week. Science supports this activity and all its benefits through the simple act of spending time with nature.
Each day and week, as we set out, camera in hand, we embark on an infinite, silent but powerful act of love.
With this group we learn together, create together and share after, to inspire our daily creations.

The Wonder Compass:
This is a daily method of inspiration, to renew the part of ourselves that wants to find the joy in creating our own photography while exploring in your available nature, each day.
You can take a break from work and find any natural object or area you have access to. Take time to breathe in deep, connect, and make some art while you recenter and clear from your busy day. A long walk is even better when you can fit it in!
Through wondering, we expand an open curiosity and joy, to see, acknowledge, and create inside what may at first glance seem to be mundane moments, views, or vistas. Training our eyes to see the best of what can be, we can also train our minds and emotions to do the same.
Tune in to the jagged rock edges and the falling leaves. In setting out, we can transmute, transform, and alchemize what we see into a masterpiece of our one unique perspective, through a daily creative practice.
Welcome to this infinite journey into nature and back to yourself. A practice that goes with you anytime, anywhere.
Happy Wondering! I hope to see you soon! - Molly
