Practice Seeing Differently

48 micro experiences. Guided reflection. Neuroscience-informed practice you do outdoors.

No skills needed. Just step outside and begin.

The MicroExperience Cards and Companion Journal bring the RWA methodology into your hands. No fancy gear needed. No perfect conditions required. Just you, a camera (phone works), and a willingness to look closer.

Each card guides you through a specific photography prompt designed to build cognitive flexibility, strengthen emotional resilience, and rewire how you see the world.

Small shifts in perspective. Big changes in life.

The Micro-Experience Cards

48 Neuroscience-Informed Photography Prompts

How to Use Them:


The methodology works best when you move through the segments in order. Always begin with a Regulate card to settle your nervous system, then progress through the trail. Once you've completed the cycle, start again—each time through reveals something new. Choose your Regulate card. Go outside. Follow the prompt. Notice what you notice. Take the photograph. Reflect.

What This Practice Offers:

  • Attention practices associated with cognitive flexibility

  • Photography exercises that support perspective-shifting

  • A framework for exploring how you see the world

  • A tangible way to disconnect from screens and reconnect with nature

What's Included:


48 experience cards organized into 8 Trail Segments

Each card includes:

  • A specific photography prompt

  • Reflection questions

  • Science-backed insight into what you're practicing

The Companion Journal

Deepen Your Practice With Guided Reflection

Why Journal?


Research shows that reflection deepens learning. When you write about an experience, you strengthen the neural pathways you're building. You notice patterns. You track growth. You create a record of how your perspective shifts.
The journal transforms the cards from quick prompts into a sustained practice of attention, curiosity, and self-discovery.

What You'll Create:

  • A visual and written record of your journey

  • Insights you can return to when you need them

  • Evidence of change 
(because sometimes we can't see our own growth until we look back)

  • A practice of meaning-making that extends beyond the photograph

What's Included:

  • Four-page spread for each of the 48 cards

  • Reflection prompts tailored to each experience

  • Personal regulation guide

  • Creative vocabulary expansion section

  • Field notes pages for open exploration


Space to:

  • Add your photos (print or tape them in)

  • Respond to questions

  • Sketch observations

  • Track what shifts over time

How It Works

Getting Started is Simple

1. Start with Regulate
Every practice session begins here. Choose a Regulate card to settle your nervous system before moving forward.

2. Follow the Trail
Move through the segments in order: Regulate → Focus → Feel → Learn → Create → Imagine → Connect → Act. The methodology builds on each segment.

3. Go Outside
Your backyard. A city park. A quiet street corner. Anywhere with a bit of nature works.

4. Follow the Prompt
Each card guides you through a specific micro experience. Notice what you notice.

5. Take the Photograph
Use whatever camera you have. Phone is perfect. This isn't about gear.

6. Reflect in the Journal
Come back inside. Respond to the questions. Add your photo. Write what surfaced.


What to Leave Behind:

  • The idea that you need perfect conditions

  • Any pressure to get it "right"

  • Distractions (leave the phone in camera-only mode)

What You Need:

  • A camera or smartphone

  • 10-15 minutes

  • A Sense of Curiosity
