A Subtle Rebellion.
Reclaiming the Soul’s Image.
Carl Jung taught us that symbols are the mirror of the soul.
At The Kind Gaze, we believe the same is true for the images we capture. Just as we have learned to hold the soul through words, we must now remember its first language: the language of imagery.
In 2026, we are drowning in an infinite sea of "perfect" images, polished, algorithmic, and hollow. In this world of curated masks, the soul is gasping for air. We are losing the courage to look at the raw, the unpolished, and the true.
This is a Subtle Revolution in the way we see.
We are deconstructing the gaze that objectifies and reclaiming the gaze that connects. We aren’t searching for the "perfect" photograph, we are listening for the one that resonates. We are learning to see not just through the eyes, but through the pulse of the heart.
Join us to rediscover the visual language that allows you and your clients to finally return home, to the Kind Gaze that recognizes the soul within the moment, the object, and the flaw.
Being vs. Doing
Why this Mastery?
Because you can't lead where you haven't traveled.
-
The Internal Shift: A deep-dive into your own visual DNA. We dissolve the "judging eye" to find a radical, compassionate clarity. You don’t just study the method, you embody the frequency.
-
The Clinical Arsenal: Where magic meets the ground. Photography, evocative objects, and archetypes become your new diagnostic language, tools that bypass the mind’s defenses and go straight to the heart.
The 5 Movements

Meet Your Facilitator:
Efrat Shani
(Former Co-Founder of Points of You)
"I don’t teach. I facilitate a meeting between you and your true self."
My name is Efrat Shani, a photo therapist, creative mentor, photographer, artist, and visual and material culture researcher.
For over 25 years, my work has bridged art, therapy, and human connection. As one of the creators of Points of You, I helped shape a global visual language that has inspired millions worldwide. (Today, I work independently to facilitate deep, intimate processes.)
From that journey, The Kind Gaze™ was born. It is the natural evolution of everything I’ve learned about presence, art, and the human soul.
I am here to guide you with precision, compassion, and a sharp, loving gaze.
I would be honored to walk this journey with you :)
This isn’t just a workshop -
it’s a gentle initiation into a new way
of seeing and being
I wanted to thank you deeply for this journey we started together.
And I feel I have to go deeper.
I am sure that through your work,
You are showing me the way for my future life and career.
