This retreat will focus beyond technique, choosing instead to emphasize the artistic, the gift of seeing life in new and surprising ways. Photography is a powerful tool to assist us in practicing ways of seeing with heart and soul. Brad Berglund will help you find new and creative ways to look through the lens. This retreat will include reflections on the meaning of your own photos or the photos of others.

An author and spiritual director, Brad has degrees in Theology and Music (Madrid) Currently, he holds two positions: Director of Illuminated Journeys, devoted to the spiritual deepening of individuals and churches through the practice of pilgrimage and retreat, and The Threshold, a contemplative experience in the style of the Taizé community.
He regularly leads retreats following Celtic heritage.
Brad has run this retreat for 10 years now, and it both completely inclusive to all, and yet stretches the most experienced. The focus is not specifically on technique, but both in and out of the teaching sessions, Brad is able to help on any level.
The advance in digital photography improves picture quality, but the art of the spiritual does not mature quickly. So Brad uses a variety of stimuli to develop spiritual practice through the lens.
We visit several places close to El Palmeral, with a variety of photographic opportunities, and then return to El Palmeral to view and reflect on the experience of the photo-maker.
Add to that, Brad is a gifted Spanish guitarist and Worship leader, and this is a treat that is really unique.
