Grateful Lens
Use your phone (yup!) to become more mindful and aware of the subtle details and hidden beauty in the world around you.
Why? Practice noticing with a grateful lens.
According to the team at Seeing Happy, photography can teach us to notice details we might otherwise miss. When we use our cameras mindfully, we become more aware of the everyday beauty, goodness, and kindness around us.
What? Notice, share, connect.
We'll take an hour to practice Stop.Look.Go by taking photos on our smart phones / cameras.
