July 1st - August 5th, 2025
Tuesdays, 7:00 - 8:30 (6 Weeks)

Over the course of this practice group, we will be building a metaphorical campfire and telling stories around it through photography. We will ask ourselves: what is the fuel for our fire? What lights the spark? Participants will find new ways to tell their own stories – reaching into their memories and capturing their perspectives in the moment. We’ll explore both single- and multiple-image approaches and play with incorporating text as interest warrants.

July 1 - August 19, 2025
Tuesdays 6:30 - 8:30 pm (8 weeks)

This practice group will explore our relationship to elemental fire as experienced in the things that surround us. Fire, as it exists within bodies, carries ancient energy. How is it that some objects literally change the energy in a room? In what ways might particular objects offer portals to elemental states of mind and being?

July 3 - July 31, 2025
Thursdays 6:00-8:00 pm (5 Weeks)

In this practice group, we will tend to our own embodied flames before turning our fiery vision outward to explore how this element encourages us to relate to others. We will explore care as a form of nurturing fire, attention as an illuminating force, and fire as an alchemical process of transformation.

April 22, 2025 - April 22, 2026
Tuesdays 6:30 - 8:30 PM (wth short breaks for the holidays)

The Elemental Year draws creative inspiration from land-based cultures—where time moves in rhythm with the Earth and travels in circles and cycles. During this practice group, we will utilize the power of embodied seasonal rituals, contemplative practices, and deep reflection to explore our fundamental relationship to our elemental kin.
