FAQ
- Jess - Previous Home Attendee
"I had so many questions and doubts about leaving my family for a few days to attend something that initially felt a bit self-serving. But after experiencing the HOME workshop, I can say with complete confidence, I was meant to be there.
Mom guilt is real, but so is the need to fill your own cup in order to pour into others. This workshop wasn’t just creatively inspiring, it was deeply enriching on a personal level. The connections formed with like-minded women, most of whom are also mothers navigating similar family dynamics, added a beautiful layer of depth to the entire experience.
It was exactly what we all needed. We returned to our families more rested, recharged, and grounded in our purpose, not just in our work, but in why we do it. HOME wasn’t just a photography workshop. It was a space to recenter, to reconnect with ourselves and our families, and to return home with clarity and intention. It was truly a transformative experience."
