Cruise with Eyespiration

Leaving San Pedro port, Los Angeles

Since my first cruise to Alaska I am hooked on cruising. How I love this way of travel! To have a fabulous holiday and attend a seminar at sea at the same time is the ultimate way to travel onboard a cruise ship: you can write it off.

Onboard we will have a daily coaching and photography session. You will learn to See the world with Fresh, Pure Eyes. Visual consultancy is a new way of coaching, providing a hands-on method in which visual thinking and the visualization of complex issues play an important role. 

Eyespiration coaching trip

Eyespiration is a combination of positive psychology and pure (straight) photography. You can take pictures with any camera or smartphone. You can even take a mind picture. My mission is to help people and organizations flourish; using narrative coaching and creative imagination to See your brand story.

You can pick any cruise destination. The Eyespiration trip will take 7-10 days, prices start from €3500. This is a solo trip, having your spouse, collegues or children around isn't helping. Therefor I suggest to extend the trip with a stay with them if you wish to do so.

For more information go to MelanieRijkers.com and shoot me an e-mail. You can also send a whatsapp text message. Nederlands? Ga naar PuurZien.nl en klik op inspiratiereis.

With or without a camera, Eyespiration will inspire you to:
Clarify life goals.
Find inner peace and happiness.
Feel more relaxed.
Focus.

Alaska Cruise Golden Hour Workshop

It’s the first morning onboard the Jewel of the Seas, when I go outside on deck to watch the sunrise. I’m in Alaska in June and nights are short, it's 5 AM. The wind almost blows me of my feet when I enter the top deck, but the views are so worth it. Amazing infintiy, with on one side a hazy purple light blue sky and on the other side a warm, golden glow behind some clouds. 

I never imagined you could see this far from a boat. Sorry, ‘ship’. The cruise ship amazed me by not being bumpy by waves at all, and I actually enjoy the movement of the water while meditating with the group. I am attending a seminar at sea, and never been onboard a cruise ship before. With the amazing views I see each morning I want to sail forever. Staring over the water, with only a few other people present, I feel one with nature.

Amazing skies, infinite water and colours that touch me like I am in a light bath of beams. Golden eye in the sky, the sun finally rises above the mountains. I am surrounded by pure magic, I never felt so close to nature before. So much Eyespiration! I feel blessed to witness all this beauty on earth. I am sharing my photos with you to show you how beautiful Life is, if only you can See.

You can join me in October 2016, when I will be attending the Cruise into Spirit. I will teach you how to See if you join me onboard for an Eyespiration photo walk. It not so much a workshop, it's Meditation with Eyes Open, and free of charge. You can join me with any kind of camera, or even without one and take 'mind pictures'.

Being in the moment. Onboard a cruise ship, early morning, you can really be whole, complete, one with nature. We'll use Miksang techniques, when you learn how to look at Life with Pure, Fresh Eyes. Be, See, Zen.

Onboard you can walk. I like walking, It makes my head clear. I can really stop thinking when I walk. If I concentrate on what's around me, if I am in the moment, I see Miksang Moments. Miksang Moments are photos with a very, very good moment captured, with great composition in lines, light and subject. Most of the photos in this blog qualify Miksang Contemplative Photography.

If you'd like to know how to take those photos, I'll show you how to See. Join me onboard for an amazing Full Moon Cruise into Spirit in October. Please note you don't need a fancy camera, the above photos were all taken with a smartphone. Seeing Fresh, with Pure Eyes, is all you need.
