Anne-Marie Atkinson (Doctoral student) ‘Taking notice’ is one of the pillars of wellbeing. It is connected to steadying our minds, becoming more focused, and appreciating the pleasures of our environment. In this hands-on workshop we will use photography to practice awareness. Bring a coat if it’s rainy as we will go outside.

3. Take notice…
“Be curious. Catch sight of the beautiful.
Remark on the unusual. Notice the changing
seasons. Savour the moment, whether you
are on a train, eating lunch or talking to
friends. Be aware of the world around you
and what you are feeling. Reflecting on your
experiences will help you appreciate what
matters to you.”
