Course Testimonials
​
​Janice (Artist & Wine Sommelier): 
"I love the way course makes it easy to slow down and look for the magic in everyday life. I live in a big city and I don’t get the chance to go the woods very often. Taking the time to see the beauty that is literally in my backyard is so powerful. Love the format of the course and the content is simply priceless!"

Laura Braun; Critical Care Nurse at OHSU Hospital
The Wonder Compass practice is more than an education vessel of how to redefine the brilliance, creativity, and spark of photography. What stands out about this course is Molly's visceral appreciation of nature and life experiences. Her lessons expand far beyond the camera lens, and help learners to explore the world from a place of mindfulness, appreciation, and opportunity. 

Xochitl Ramirez; Academic Advisor Higher Ed
Now days purposely connecting to nature is a must a way to care of our body and souls. Capturing nature pictures not only we get to see beautifully places we get to capture them using a phone or a camera to save those memories. I think this course will bring joy to many people’s lives. 

As the world reflects our inner self and soul; we set out to wonder. To discover the best of what is and what might be. To transform the mundane into the magical.  If we set ourselves out to see from a space of awe and joy, we just might find our own artistic craft hidden among the pitch pines and emerald moss.
 
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – Howard Thurman

“Wondering” – Adjective. Openly curious, with the intent to connect with nature. To experience magic through our sight and heart; each and every day.  To transform our creative photography and journaling, from the mundane into the wonderful.  

               The only requirement of this method is a desire to craft images -"Of Found Wonder," and if not found initially on the trail, to spend a bit of time transforming them into such a state of wonder afterwards. 
​
All that is needed is:
      A Walk, a Camera, and a Journal. 

      Welcome, to this infinite journey outward, and back again.  ​
