We all live in a hectic world – partially of our own making. Even in externally quiet moments, our minds are busily chattering away with what ifs and rehashes of what was. It can be difficult to find the path to calm within this clamour. During these confusing pandemic times, the internal chatter is likely louder than ever. But in this very moment, most of us are quite likely fine and acknowledging that through mindfulness practice can provide a reprieve from the stress and worry.

In this episode of  "The Looking Glass", Francesco Arese Visconti will discuss with Athena Carey what mindfulness is, how it can help us in during the pandemic and how we can access it through photography practice (even in lockdown).

During the event, there will be a short example session that participants can join in. No special equipment is required. Each activity can be done with a camera as simple as the one in your phone. No special skills are required. You can be a camera expert or notice, a meditation guru or complete beginner. You only need to bring the willingness to slow down, to see and capture the present moment and to reflect on your experience.
