Are you interested in working with creative writing to cultivate slowness, attentiveness, growth, and community? This writing workshop encourages human interconnection and self-awareness through a shared focus on the practice of the haiku, an ancient Japanese form made popular in the United States by the Beat poets of the 1950s and 60s. The session will begin with a short period of meditation and the writing of haiku to bring us together into a quiet and spacious place.  Along the way, we will hear haiku from the Eastern and Western masters of the form and share our writings with each other. The purpose of these practices and our time together is to create a multi-layered common space that connects us like the roots of cedar trees beneath the ground -- and simultaneously encourages the growth and flourishing of each person's particular creative endeavors, whatever they may be.
