Here’s a fun shoot I did with .Mateja in the lush forests of Mt. Karioi. It’s always a JOY to capture the universe in ecstatic motion like this.

Solscape Eco-Retreat will be holding a very special retreat in a few weeks celebrating and exploring BODY & ECOLOGY. The retreat is all-inclusive & will include movement classes each morning, sauna & ice baths, epic organic food, guided moving meditations, ecstatic dance, breath work & nature immersion.

Celebrate Spring with BODY AND ECOLOGY

Join us from October 4th to 6th, 2024, for a rejuvenating experience for the mind, body, and soul. Starting at 3:30pm on Friday and concluding at 3:30pm on Sunday, this retreat offers spaciousness to reconnect with self, others, and the wider ecology.

Guided by our experienced facilitators Dr. Johanna Claus and Vanessa Mateja, this retreat will immerse you in practices such as walking, sitting, eco-somatics, and authentic movement. Together, we will explore pathways to deep listening, stillness, and presence, attuning to the reciprocal relationship between your inner and outer landscapes.

As Spring—a time of renewal and growth—arrives, we invite you to explore embodied methodologies and mindfulness practices in diverse ecological environments including forests, beaches, streams, and mountains. You will participate in sessions focused on embodied inquiry, silence, authentic movement, and artistic expression. Additional experiences include somatic sauna sessions and ice baths with integrated breathwork, designed to deepen your connection with your body and its rhythms.

Hey Friends,

I've currently got a Landscape Photography Show exhibiting at the Bluestem Bistro in Manhattan, KS. It's some of my favorite photos over the past years, both digital & 35mm. Check it out!

The show is mostly landscapes from New Zealand and a few other islands that touch the Pacific Ocean.

There are 15 Framed Photo Prints still available for SALE, get in touch if you're interested! They can be shipped worldwide.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be posting the images daily.

Big thanks to Andy for framing these up so beautifully!
