10th workshop

Therapeutic Photo

Description of the activity:

The workshop began with a short introduction where the facilitator explained the idea of using photography to connect with emotions and personal perception. Participants were asked to slow down, observe their surroundings, and think about how images can reflect their inner state.

To start, everyone took part in a short visualization exercise where they imagined or recalled a symbol that represents their current thoughts or feelings. They then sketched or described the image that came to mind and briefly reflected on its meaning.

In the next activity, participants worked in pairs. Each person chose two photos—one that reflected how they were feeling and another that somehow connected to it. They shared their stories with each other, discussing the connection between the images and how they interpreted them emotionally.

Afterward, everyone went out to photograph a single object or scene from multiple angles. Later, they shared their series with the group and reflected on how changing perspective affected their understanding of the subject.

The session ended with a group reflection where participants talked about what surprised them, how their perception shifted, and what they discovered about themselves through the process. The activity helped them to see beauty in everyday details and encouraged them to observe the world more mindfully.
