Using Photography to Process Grief
Grief and the grieving process are an integral part of the human experience, yet few of us have the necessary skills to engage in or talk about it. Art and creativity can help us tell our stories of grief and loss by focusing on ourselves, the losses in our lives, and how we continue to honor, love, and remember our pasts.
As a grief coping tool, photography can:
· provide a needed respite from grief
· be used to explore and express difficult thoughts, feelings, emotions, and sensations
· create images of healing, restoration, and hope
This class is great for photographers, artists at heart, or the curious wanting to explore the symbiotic relationship between contemplative practice and photography. You can use whatever camera that is available to you, including your cell phone.
