Special Health& Spirit Lunch: Jia's Sabbatical: 12:00p -1:30pm - Please RSVP 

              It has been great fun heading up the Health and Spirit Circle these last 6 years. Sitting in the inner-sanctum of the library each month with a group of like-minded people has felt much like sharing the very best of an extended family but without the baggage. I have found the experience to be deeply rewarding and fulfilling and certainly received much more wisdom and insight than I dispensed.                   

 

              

But the time has come to take a break - a sabbatical, if you like - to refresh, renew and recalibrate before embarking on the next phase of my career. Before I became a house-holder 27 years ago, I used to routinely take to the open road for inspiration and am doing so once again.

As a professional photographer this has given him exceptional opportunities to experience remarkable people, places and creatures, and to create images that capture the spirit of the place.  On view in the Gallery are images of the people and wild creatures Charles met while working in Mother Africa and in Myanmar (Burma) where he has worked for the last two years.       

The photographs of Charles Steinberg will be showing at the Highland Gallery until mid-June, with a special opening gala on the 18th.
