With the fall season just around the corner and as school quickly approaches, it’s the perfect time to learn something new. I’m thrilled and honoured to facilitate another introductory workshop on haiku poetry with uBlossom Retreats on beautiful Vancouver Island at Strathcona Park Lodge. Walk with me in my world of Everyday Haiku from September 29th to October 1st. You will learn how tap into your creativity, be more present, slow down and connect with nature. It’s easy, fun and a non-intimidating way to be creative. In this introductory workshop you will learn that haiku is not what you might think it is. See how I have become more present, more mindful and less stressed from learning, writing and creating through the healing benefits of haiku poetry. I will share with you my passion for haiku and design and how I’ve been inspired by my Grandmother who wrote haiku. Over 20 years ago I began creating designs featuring my Grandmother’s poems while working as a freelance graphic designer. This calling has evolved over the years to now by sharing my experiences and knowledge with others. Experience relief from daily stress and find out how haiku can help you discover your own creative voice and give you more peaceful and joy-filled moments. You only have to bring an open mind and a curious spirit.
This introductory Everyday Haiku workshop includes:
- Learning a bit about haiku. My goal for participants is to gain awareness and presence through haiku whether you choose to write or not is not the purpose of this workshop. Haiku is a beautiful form of poetry that can help you be mindful and connect with nature that is healing and simply just good for the soul
- You will learn a bit about me, why I love haiku and how it has helped me
- You will find out that haiku is not what you might think it is
- You will learn that it is NOT about counting syllables and why
- You will have examples of good haiku poems and others that are not real haiku in it’s true form
- You have the opportunity to “compose” some haiku with a fun pick and choose activity
- Time permitted, we will go for “Ginko” walk and write some of your own haiku!
- You will also get to take home some haiku designs and a free copy of my book
