Photography teaches us to see! We all look at things; however, photographers look to see things differently. Transformative Growth Through the Lens is a course that teaches participants to see things differently. This is not your typical photography class. While we will discuss essential elements of capturing a great image, including camera modes, composition, and light, the true heart of the course revolves around utilizing photography as a creative modality to move through grief, anxiety, trauma, and everyday life. The course links neuroscience, psychology, mindfulness, and art together. Participants will be asked to take multiple photographs around various themes designed to help folks transform their photography skills while transforming their perspective.

Do you like journaling?  Telling stories?  Self-reflecting?  Not only is writing fun, writing can be one of the biggest catalysts for change.  For centuries, folks have turned to writing to find healing, inner peace, self-actualization, and transformation.  Transformative writing is like taking a trip, only you take the trip inward.  Writing helps make sense of our experiences and the world in which we live.  Transformative Growth Through Writing is a five-week dive into exploring our innermost thoughts and feelings.  It is for writers of all levels, including beginners.  I hope you join me on a journey of self-discovery.

Ghosts are known to stay in old structures, and historic places seem to be ripe with them.  In this presentation, you'll go with paranormal investigators to the home of Dr. Samuel Mudd, the Sotterly Plantation, Montpelier Mansion, and the Howard Historic Society.  You'll see a ghost sketch that resembles an actual photo of the man who haunts a place.  A photo of Dr. Mudd coming down a staircase, and more!
