Lee began a photography journey with looking deeply and bringing her focus into the present moment. This led her to an appreciation for the way the photographic process may help to rewire the brain by combining with mindfulness meditation practice, executive function training and cultivation of the foundational attitudes of mindfulness. She has named this process Camera Assisted Mindfulness and Attention Regulation Training (CAM-ART)™ Please join Lee for a taste of this experience at our November monthly meeting.
