Creative photographer Jane Marr aka Mama Jane will take you on a walk of discovery and wellbeing around the Tea Tree Gully heritage precinct and Anstey Hill Recreation Park.
Photowalking is a practice in creativity, mindfulness and gratitude - looking at local places and faces through fresh eyes - discovering the extraordinary in the ordinary.
The session will introduce some simple photographic principles and the benefits of walking for emotional, physical and mental wellbeing. Participants will finish the walk with a collection of photographs, which could be printed and framed, made into photo-cards and/or you may want create an artwork for next year’s Stitch & Yarn Community Exhibition.
