If you are fully committed to unplugging you are welcome to bring a tent and camp on the grounds of Lark Manor.
What We’ll Be Doing:
This is more than a simply photo workshop, it’s meant to reconnect to your Creative Spirit, which does not want to be confined to the cage of a single expression. We’ll be spending a good bit of time outside, both on the grounds, and also the trails and water.
There will be personal time each day where there is the option for a guided activity such as horseback riding, trail hiking, yoga and meditation, or kayaking, or you can choose to play with the models, spend some personal time shooting, working, reflecting, or relaxing.
Nearby are several amenities including Golf, Bowling, Movie Theaters, a selection of restaurants, stores and shops, salons and barbers, and anything else you could need access to for enjoyment or necessity.
We have models on hand for both education and personal shooting all 4 days. Both the grounds and the studio are available as backdrops for creating, and there is a blend of structure and freedom in the shooting process.
In the evenings we’ll have reflection and conversation about business, marketing and personal growth while enjoying the amazing Boozy S’mores recipe Mackenzie found for us.
Each day we will do something that Nourishes Your Mind, Your Body, Your Spirit, Your Business, and Your Art.
