THE MOMENT YOU EDIT YOUR ART TO FIT IN, YOU SILENCE THE PULSE.
THE PULSE
A one day workshop for photographers seeking emotional depth, creative renewal, and truth in their art.
Koru Sabi Lodge • Upper Burringbar
9am–6pm | Wednesday January 14th 2026
You know that Women’s stories are the most potent thing. You know that your vessel, this medium - photography has the power to transcend the unsaid into moments that make people feel seen, understood, and and shaken.
You know, that there is so much more depth you could be honouring. You know that when you capture, it’s as if there is a performance. A dance of perfection. But what you’re really seeking is that electric current of humanness that makes a photo unforgettable. For your Muse to drop the guard and show depth, emotion, and truth. You don’t want to fit in the box of family photography portrayed as perfection anymore, you’re tired of facade. You want real.
What the Day Holds
The Setting
Tucked away on 20 acres of lush rainforest, Koru Sabi Lodge in Upper Burringbar NSW feels like stepping into another world, where everything falls away.
A creek flows, a wood fired hot tub steams beneath the trees, and the air itself slows you down.
The SesSIONS
The art of women’s stories — learning to photograph from empathy, depth, and emotional resonance.
Light as language — using light to express emotional texture and truth.
Your nervous system: The gatekeeper to creativity — how regulation and presence open the lens of perception and Co regulation is your ticket to emotionally deep portraits.
Mindset alchemy — rewiring fear, comparison, and creative freeze into flow.
The art of noticing — embodied exercises that train your awareness to see again.
Live photoshoots — real women, real emotion, guided by my full methodology for truth based imagery.
(Aka - THE DROP. This methodology has not been released before. I am handing over the full exposure on how I have made women so seen that they cry in my sessions. The full rundown on how to hold space for a woman’s truth and transform performance and tight grips into unfolding, opening up and honest expression.)
Extras
A nourishing lunch and refreshments among the trees.
Q&A + Closing Circle in the wood fired hot tub (or creek depending on weather) — integrating everything you’ve absorbed.
A printed workbook to take home — filled with creative prompts, embodiment tools, and your next creative evolution.
Investment - $1350 AUD

you have made me remember myself. stirred up my insides and reminded me what photography is all about. you've given me the nudge i needed to create. to pick up my camera and shoot from the gut. for the first time in forever, i'm looking at my work and i can 'feel' it. it has a voice.

this has exceeded all of my expectations. it's hard to fathom how you, lauren, have translated all of your thoughts, talent and experience into an easy to understand and follow course. While also filling it with so much soul and emotion. having the technical aspects removed from photography returns my to play. this is purely heart and soul lead.

it's like she's lead me to a place where i can finally pin point what it is i want my photos to feel like and why that emotion was missing previously.

It's not surface level technical - it 's dishevelling and rearranging the way that i look at and approach capturing images and art.
