Course Description

Overview

In a world that feels incredibly fast moving and ephemeral, it can feel easy to get swept away with the distractions and temptations offered to us at every turn.

I designed and created this class to share with you my techniques for cutting through those distractions and bringing a lot of meaning and depth to everything that you do in life, big or small.

To do this, we're going to explore a concept that I call Intentional Documentationwhich I consider to be a powerful alternative to auto piloting your way through life. In this class, we cover the principles of effective documentation, the right mindset to approach documenting your experiences, and a variety of analog and digital options.

I'll teach you 4 methods of Intentional Documentation:


1. Vlogging

2. Journaling

3. Photography

4. Reporting your own life

There is something beautiful about capturing pieces of your life in a thoughtful way, and having these moments to look back on. Their value is immeasurable. They can create a sort of loose outline of your past. They will become portals to see where you’ve come from and what you’ve been through. This class is all about the cultivation of those moments.

This class is for anyone interested in a change of pace from the fast-moving, information saturated world that we live in.
