• By capturing images, we externalise our inner world, fostering self-reflection and personal growth. In a world flooded with images, photography has become a powerful therapeutic tool, aiding in self-realisation.

  • Photography, through its limitations, is a powerful tool for telling, framing and re-framing personal stories. It can transforms simple moments into meaningful narratives

  • Facilitated by specialists in the field of therapy, we focus on self-awareness and personal growth rather than the broader wellness space. Through the use of photography, we provide a unique tool for reflection and self-exploration, guiding you to uncover what has shaped your life and what will define your future.

  • The aim is not only personal growth but also building a sense of community, shared experiences, and empathy through the process of photography.

  • The workshop space builds community, where shared experience and the art of storytelling intersect. Through the lens of photography, you bring your life into the room, learning not only to see in new ways but also to open up to new perspectives.

OUR STORY

At Re-Frame, mindfulness, creativity, and connection come together to transform how we see ourselves and the world. Our therapeutic photography workshops in Cape Town offer a unique space to reimagine your story, empowering you to find new perspectives and embrace meaningful change. 

Re-Frame was brought to life by three visionaries with a shared passion for using photography as a tool for healing and emotional growth. Natalie, a skilled photographer, brings a profound awareness of the “lens as a coloniser” and how it shapes narratives. Participants are challenged to reclaim their perspectives through the art of visual storytelling. Lenneke, a clinical psychologist, contributes her expertise in emotional growth, guiding participants toward greater self-awareness and resilience. Sue Ann, a social worker and family counsellor, weaves talk therapy into the workshops, creating a space for meaningful connection clarity and purpose.

We invite you to explore the profound impact of reframing your narrative—challenging assumptions, discovering untold possibilities, and embracing transformation.
