<h1><strong>Climatography</strong></h1><h2>What</h2><p>The first of its kind 6-Week  program exploring self, community &amp; climate change through the medium of photographic expression. Participants are invited to use photography as a medium of expression of their lived experiences in relation to Earth, the More-than-human world &amp; climate.</p><p><a href="https://www.spiritofthemoment.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alison Beaumont</a> has completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Therapeutic Photography at Robert Gordon University and brings this methodology and learning to the Climatography series.</p><p>The program follows principles of therapeutic photography with the intention of providing participants with the opportunity to develop self-efficacy and empowerment to with an outcome of enacting social change individually or in their communities. </p><p>No previous experience with using photography is needed, participants will use their own cameraphone or camera. Technical assistance will be provided as needed.</p><h2>Why</h2><p>As the climate crisis deepens we are all needed, every one of our actions make a difference. As we face up to what is in front of us and future generations, there are big feelings. Photography is an accessible creative medium with which to dive deeper into the theme of climate. Using the photography allows for thoughtful observation, mindfulness, creativity and abstraction in image making, with each image acting as a vehicle for discussion around a theme. </p><p>When we are able to create community and connection around a cause there is a higher probability that individuals will take their thoughts and ideas out to their own communities. By participating in the Climatography it is hoped that participants will create a ripple effect within their own lives and communities to enact meaningful changes to support our Earth and the More-than-human world.</p><p>Accessing the program with supportive pricing</p><p>Depending whether the offering is in-person or online will determine cost, see individual offerings for prices.
