Goals of the safari

• Use photography to deepen self-awareness & dissolve creative blocks that limit originality & self-expression.
  
  
• Offer a safe space for you to experience, voice and show your creative self in a group setting with the assistance of the natural world and genuine teachers.
  
  
• Have fun and experience the powerful creative energy felt through group synergy.

Awareness is characterized by contact, by sensing, by excitement and by gestalt formation. It is the spontaneous sensing of what arises in you of what you are doing, feeling, planning.

When a photographer makes a good-quality, 'aware contact' with a subject he/she is photographing and feels some excitement, that experience is a gestalt. Gestalt formation always accompanies awareness.

It is a creativity course. The emphasis is on your skills behind the camera and your ability to effectively use the camera you have. Do not worry about your equipment. "Point and shoot" cameras are suitable for this course.
