Rhythm & Ritual: marking time through daily ritual with Megan Driving Hawk
Begins May 21st (runs for 12-months)
Thursdays, 1:00-3:00 pm EDT (Full)
How can ritual become a portal through which one can access deep time, inhabited time, and time-out-of time simultaneously? In this practice group we will develop unique field guides to create authentic daily ritual practices attuned with seasonal rhythms. We will find inspiration in short readings and quotes on themes of legacy, seasonal time, memory, ancestral memory, reciprocity, spiritual time and poetic time.
Bodies in Time with Frances Bukovsky
May 21 - June 18th, 2026
Thursdays, 6-8 pm EDT (5 Weeks)
How do we experience time within our bodies? The human social world seems to move to a fixed linear clock, yet we inhabit time in a diverse variety of entangled timelines and cycles. In what ways do our bodies influence the ways we move through time? And how might your photography practice be an extension of your body's way of interpreting time?
Time in Concept and Scale with Dale Rio
June 18 - July 16th (Full)
Thursdays, 7 - 9 pm EDT for 5 weeks.
Photography is a time-based medium, and its ability to distill action into a single frame is best summed up in the concept of the “decisive moment.” But how else can the passage of time be expressed through still photography? And what types of time scales can be explored through the medium? In this practice group, we’ll discuss strategies by which we can depict atypical time scales and concepts photographically.
Slow Looking: A Practice of Observation with Liz Titone
May 28 - July 2nd 2026
Thursdays, 7 - 8:30 pm EDT for 6 weeks
This practice group treats Slow Looking as an inquiry into Kinship's three doorways: Deep Time, Inhabited Time, and Time-out-of-Time. By staying with images long enough for meaning to shift and settle, we ask how photographs might make our relationship to time more visible, and what it reveals when we let that relationship remain open, playful, and unresolved.
Spiraling Through Time: A Year of Slow Practice with Kaye Savage
Begins May 19th (Group is Full)
Third Tuesday of the month, 7 - 8:30 pm EDT (for 12 sessions)
This practice group will meet monthly for the full year, providing opportunities for sustained attention to long-term projects, a fresh start each month, or a combination. The rhythm of the group will provide intentional space for expansive practice as well as project and/or portfolio development. Prompts and questions will encourage exploration of the sub-themes of the Deep Time doorway.
Keeping Time: Contemplative Photography and the Art of Stewardship with Susan Patrice
May 26th - June 30th 2026
Tuesdays, 7 - 8:30 pm EDT for 6 weeks
This six-session practice group offers an introduction to contemplative photography practices that help us attune and synchronize with the timing, rhythms, and cadence of the places and more-than-human kin we photograph.Together, we will ponder whether repeatedly attending to the same place over time can awaken new levels of curiosity, wonder, and magic while inspiring new ways of seeing and caring.
