What to Expect

These Group Witnessing Circles are best for small, intimate gatherings of people who have close relationship with each other. Think: one family unit, a religious small group, a circle of friends, work cohort, or more.

I love to move through three stages: (1) warm-up with gentle connection games + agreements, (2) discover the group theme (varies)—in meditation + small groups, have a break, and then (3) bring your group's theme to life through collaborative photoshoot planning and then having the photoshoot. Each group translates their theme into visual metaphor and embodied expression; I join your creative visioning so the way I use my lens amplifies what you’re expressing.

My Role as Photographer & Space-Holder

As your facilitator and photographer, I’ll guide you in a creative process—teaching how to translate ideas and emotions into visual language. Together in small groups, we’ll explore metaphor, story, mood, movement, color, and ritual imagery. As a photographer, I will make artistic choices (close vs. wide angles, motion blur vs. stillness, composition, light focus) to translate your felt story into images. I hold the container—pacing, consent, grounding—and offer prompts when needed, then step back so your authentic expression leads.

Consent is central: you choose how you’re photographed and what (if anything) can be shared publicly; we’ll revisit this at the start and end.

You’ll leave not just with photos, but with the lived experience of co-creating art from your truth—together.
