Photography Workshop
This workshop begins with a brief photography lesson followed by a guided meditative walk through the garden.
Discover the art of seeing through your lens in this immersive outdoor photography class led by photographer and educator Maha Bazzari. Whether you shoot on a smartphone or a professional camera, this class meets you exactly where you are. This class is open to all levels.
As you move through a beautiful garden setting, Maha will guide you in slowing down, tuning into your surroundings, and capturing what you notice — light, texture, color, stillness, and motion. The walk is meditative by design: the goal is presence first, photography second.
