The weekly De-CONNECT learning rhythm is the foundation of everything we do. 

Every Sunday introduces a new idea.
Every Monday explores it more deeply.
During the week, members photograph, reflect, discuss, and gradually begin to see differently.

For many people, that rhythm is enough. You don't need another course.

Sometimes, however, a particular idea stays with you.

You begin wanting to understand it more deeply, practise it more intentionally, or turn it into something meaningful.

That's where Growth • 修 begins.

Choose the learning path that suits your interests, experience, and pace.

Photography isn't learned all at once. 

It grows one idea at a time.

The weekly rhythm introduces many of the ideas that shape a photographer's way of seeing, but some ideas deserve more time than a single week can offer.

Perhaps you'd like to understand exposure instead of relying on Auto Mode.

Perhaps you want to build confidence through guided practice.

Or perhaps you're ready to create a body of work around an idea that matters to you.

Growth • 修 exists for those moments.

Not to replace the weekly rhythm, but to spend longer with the ideas that matter most to you.

There isn't one correct path. 

Different photographers need different kinds of learning at different stages.

Some simply want a gentle introduction.

Others want structured practice.

Some are ready to create work that unfolds over months rather than weeks.

Growth • 修 offers three ways to continue your journey.

Workshop = Learn Something New

Workshops are short, focused learning experiences centred around a single idea or skill. 

They're ideal if you'd like to explore something new, refresh an existing skill, or discover whether a topic interests you before committing to a longer programme.

Most workshops last one or two days and are designed to be practical, accessible, and immediately useful.

Sometimes a single workshop is all you need to see photography differently.

Course = Build A Skill

Courses provide more time for learning through practice. 

Instead of introducing an idea once, they return to it repeatedly through observation, discussion, assignments, and reflection.

Over several weeks, ideas become habits, and confidence gradually replaces uncertainty.

Courses aren't about learning faster.

They're about learning more deeply.

Most courses run between three and eight weeks.

Create A Meaningful Body of Work 

Some photographic journeys cannot be completed in a classroom. 

They require time, conversation, field experience, mentoring, and repeated reflection.

Guided Programmes are designed for photographers who want to develop something personal—a documentary project, exhibition, photobook, short film, or long-term body of work.

The destination isn't simply completing a programme.

It's discovering your own voice through sustained practice.

Everyone begins somewhere different. 

If any of these sound familiar, they may help you decide where to begin.

I mainly photograph with my smartphone.
→ Mobile Photography (CET)

I'm still shooting in Auto Mode.
→ Understanding the Exposure Triangle

I understand my camera but want to make stronger photographs.
→ The Practice of Photography

I'd like to understand why photographs work.
→ The Silver Anatomy

I'd like to create a long-term personal project.
→ Bhutan Creative Development

I'm looking for a programme for my teenager.
→ UN-PLUGGED & FOCUS

There is no correct order.

Simply begin with the idea that feels most meaningful today.

Joining a workshop or course is simple. 

1. Check the Practice Token requirement.

2. Make sure you have enough Practice Tokens.

3. Submit your application.

4. Receive confirmation.

Once your application is confirmed, we'll send everything you need before the programme begins.

Some programmes, such as Mobile Photography (CET), do not require Practice Tokens. 

Others use Practice Tokens to help keep class sizes small while allowing time for meaningful discussion and individual feedback.

Membership provides the weekly rhythm. 

Practice Tokens provide opportunities to go deeper.

Many workshops, courses, guided programmes, field trips, and photo reviews use Practice Tokens.

Different activities require different numbers of tokens depending on the amount of guidance and support they include.

Explorer Packs and Author Packs are available if you'd like to participate more frequently.
