In 2022, I became interested in finding my authentic self. Moreover, my career as a photographer was showing me the way toward a creative project that would be the source of my own becoming.

THE AUTHENTIC SELF PHOTO PROJECT

After a daunting journey to my heart, I enrolled in yoga & meditation teacher training and found the spark for The Authentic Self Project; a visual documentation of peoples' journeys to find their own authentic self.

The photo project is a series of photos celebrating people who choose to listen to their Authentic Self and become the person they were/are meant to be. The photos will be paird with audio to immerse the viewer in a dynamic experience, viewing the author's photo, while hearing their story of finding their Authentic Self.

THE AUTHENTIC SELF MEDITATION COMMUNITY

Seeing an absence of community within my meditation work, I created The Authentic Self Meditation Community to teach meditations guiding you to find your authentic self. Community meets once a week for 60 minutes of meditation, journaling and community time.

THE AUTHENTIC SELF WORKSHOPS

Starting in September 2025, I'm proud to be offering workshops at Wild Rice Retreat in Bayfield, WI, combining meditation, journaling, Yoga Nidra and photography to help guide guests to find their Authentic Self. Guests are guided through various meditations to look within, guiding them to see the parts of themselves they've maybe left behind, abandoned, muted over the years and bringing those parts forward to be seen and taken action forward on. The workshop ends with a photo portrait of each participant, so everyone can go home with a reminder of who their authentic self is, a visual reminder to stay the course and remember who they really are!
