Explore your pure perceptions, visual richness and genuine photographic expression in your familiar surroundings, or wherever you are.
Experience shows that every form of mindfulness-meditation practice needs practice and continual effort. Just thinking about it or postponing it doesn't make practice. It is common that at times you don't feel like practicing Miksang photography, as life or a lot of thinking and doing simply takes over.
What to do? Reconnect!
In this interactive online class you have an actual full practice day wherein you connect with your European Miksang friends, make new Miksang friends and crystalise fresh seeing in your everyday life.
With 2 Zoom sessions per day
In the morning an introduction to a specific aspect of the Miksang practice, a visual exercise, and off you gowith your Miksang assignment/intention. After lunch you select your pictures and in the 2nd Zoom session experiences are shared and all pictures are reviewed.
Participants about the online Miksang Masterclass
Every Masterclass we explore in-depth the 4 basics of the Miksang practice and your personal Miksang practice:
1. Your State of Seeing - about pure perception, looking and seeing
2. The basics of being available and 'fresh' - about being awake, open in the here and now
3. The visual luminosity of everything - surrender to the idea of infinite perceptions and visual poetry
4. The Miksang Method - practice coming to a full stop, standing still, allowing, letting it in, looking deeply, applying the visual discernment, slowing down and giving genuine photographic expression
Giving photographic expression is crucial. As meditation in action you embody fresh seeing, and embracing the infinite playground of discovering everyday beauty and cultivating equanimity about what you see.
Pausing and begin precise before pressing the release button is deeply satisfying and part of the joy and elegance of Miksang Photography.

"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 in the language of pure visual poetry.
Come to a full stop, calm and still, look deeper.
Act photographically, genuinely, confidently and shaky.
As an equivalent says more than a 1000 words"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
