Has there ever been a time when photography (or photographed occurrence), held such impact, as now? This powerful art form offers a means to encapsulate and explore the depths of experience, and as such, is an evocative tool in spiritual direction.
Come and explore the art of photography as a spiritual practice, on Saturday July 17th at 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm (EASTERN time), with Ingrid Cyros. Ingrid will lead this workshop to introduce the practice of integrating photos, sacred text, and journal writing to engage spiritual companions in these expressive arts.
Contemplative Photography is a spiritual practice to cultivate the ability to search and see below the surface of things. The sharing of a photo can serve as an invitation and a starting place for conversation with a companion/directee. Additionally, a shared image may be used as a guided meditation, or centering practice. Noticing what attracts one’s attention can tell us a great deal about what’s stirring in one’s soul, and it can serve as a focal point for making sense out of experience. As one workshop participant stated, “It is a way to experience life through another’s experience. There is a lot of revelation in the sharing.”
This workshop will be experiential and instructive, with take away resources and exercises to incorporate into one-on-one companioning, or a workshop.
Ingrid Cyros (M.Div.) is a Rolling Ridge trained spiritual director and retreat facilitator, and life-long artist whose passion is to explore the relationship between creativity and spirituality. “A deep initiation into grief led to profound discovery, through the lens of my father’s parting gift- his Nikon. I developed a daily practice of taking pictures and writing, which continues to inspire me to see the sacred through the searching.”
Ingrid earned a M.Div. and Certif. in Spiritual and Pastoral Care, at Andover Newton Theological School; a Certif. Spiritual Care Specialist (AAPC). She lives with her husband in Newburyport, where they raised their two adult children.
