Your Miksang Practice at Home

Practicing Miksang Photography regularly can be challenging when you don’t have access to a nearby Miksang group, a buddy, or opportunities to attend live Masterclasses or Retreats.


Embrace the continuity of Miksang right at home, connecting with your online Miksang community. Explore your pure perceptions and unique visual richness, giving genuine photographic expression in your familiar surroundings, wherever you may be. Appreciate your sense perceptions as fresh moments appear unexpectedly, bringing beauty from "nowhere" into the “now, here.”

Infinite Perceptions

Fully embracing the idea of infinite perceptions - not many, but inifinite!

"When you’re photographing you’re not trying to push a point to explain something, to prove something. The first impression is central, the first glance is shock, surprise...it jumps at you. It comes by itself.


And poetry is the essence of everything."

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Participants about the online Miksang Masterclass

Pure Perception & obstacles in practice

  • Do you find yourself postponing practice, leaving your camera at home, or thinking, “I’ll take a picture later”?
  • Has your sense of freshness faded? Have you slipped back into conventional shooting habits?
  • Is it challenging to come to a full stop, or do you often feel restless or bored?
  • Do you recognise fresh moments but you think, “I don’t need to take this picture” or “I’ve already taken a similar one”?
  • Do you often think, “I’ll shoot when there’s more light,” “when it’s warmer,” or “when it’s less rainy”?
  • Is Miksang primarily an outdoor activity for you? Stay inspired indoors—at home, at work, or in your neighbourhood.
  • What do you need to rekindle the excitement and joy you felt when you first began with Miksang Photography?

“Thanks for the class on last Saturday. I feel something shifted and the necessity to apply some discipline in order to achieve a regular practice really resonates with me. To support myself I decided to start with a Miksang Diary, posting a daily foto on Facebook and Instagram. I am very happy and grateful for the inspiration!”

The Intention of One

8 of 8 places available

Poetry is the essence

With the emphasis on the process of visual perception, as fluid as drawing an Enso, the Japanese practice of creating a circle in a single intentional stroke. From a state of availability, you welcome each fresh perception, one at a time. Allowing it in, fully and fully understand your experience before taking a picture.


At the core of Miksang lies giving photographic expression to your perception. As a form of meditation-in-action Miksang Photography embodies the art of fresh seeing, encouraging you to explore the infinite everyday's beauty, with equanimity and openness. 

Pausing − and practising genuineness about what you see before releasing the shutter − helps you cultivate a deeply satisfying flow. One that stabilises the joy, clarity and elegance of the Miksang 'Good Eye' approach.

What can I expect from a Miksang Masterclass?

"Just like that, something strikes you, out of nowhere, unexpectedly and suddenly.

Every jolt, every flash of perception - small or slightly larger - is your feast!

Your heart speaks directly, vividly and whispers to you in the language of pure visual poetry.

Come to a full stop, calm and still, look deeper.

Act photographically, genuinely, confidently and shaky.

Each equivalent says more than a 1000 words"

Questions about the online Miksang Masterclass

What if I haven't practiced Miksang Photography for a long time? Can I join?

Yes, then especially you should join! Once you have been introduced to your fresh seeing, and practiced several assignments: the experience of fresh seeing will never leave your 'system'. However, to bring your experience of fresh into photographing is what needs to be practiced and that is what these Miksang Masterclass days are also for.

What equipment do I need?

You need a digital camera with charged batteries, either a compact or hybrid or reflex camera. You need access to internet for the online sessions, and a computer or laptop so you can join the morning session and the afternoon session.

When and at what time are the online sessions?

You can find the dates above this section. The Miksang Masterclass starts at 10am in the morning until +/- 11.30am. Then you go out and about with the Miksang assignment. We meet again online at 4.30pm in the afternoon. Then you have also selected your Miksang pictures.

What if I have to miss a Miksang Masterclass day?

That is unfortunate of course, because we would love to have you in the class, but it is not a problem at all because you can join the next Masterclass.

Do I need to follow all the scheduled dates?

No. Check if the already scheduled dates for the Miksang Masterclass fit in your schedule and put the dates that work for you in your calendar!

I am not familiar with an online class, how do I join?

Don't worry. Once you have booked a Miksang Masterclass you receive automatically a link and you just need to follow the steps. Make sure that for the first time you join the Miksang Masterclass, you have set up your computer with the software/system of Webinargeek a few days before or latest the day before.

Is the Miksang Masterclass live? Or can I follow it later?

The Miksang Masterclass is live and your attendance is required in the morning and in the afternoon. In between you practice the Miksang assignment and select your pictures. Also, you can purchase the recording of the day so you can follow it later in your own time. This means you have to buy a Masterclass day or use 1 of the 4 you already have purchased.

Do I need to be good with technical stuff?

Don't worry. You just need to follow the steps for Webinargeek to join the online Miksang Masterclass. In the afternoon you send your selection of pictures either with wetransfer.com to me or you show them online on your own computer during the review. I will guide you through these steps.

How long do I have access to the Miksang Masterclasses?

You can use your one day Masterclass for the first upcoming date, and you can use the 4 Masterclass days (3+1 for free) within 2 years. You can always purchase 1 or 4 new Masterclasses.
