The Spirituality of Photography

  • Villa St Joseph Ecology and Spirituality Centre 445 Monk Street Cobourg, ON, K9A 2S9 (map)

The advent of smart phones and their improved photographic capabilities, allows us to take satisfying images that communicate not only the subject matter but also evoke the spiritual. The very act of creating and editing these images can also be seen as a prayer form. This retreat will be a time to contemplate our connections with creation and each other through photography.

While most of the day consists of hands-on experiences and reflection on our images, we will also explore the spiritual insights of photographers. Participants will be expected to bring their own cameras or smart phones. We will be sharing some of our images as part of a group reflection.

This session will be facilitated by Les Miller whose book Northern Light includes photographs and prayers that portray the spiritual dimension of the Canadian landscape.
