Haiku Workshop
Summer Haiku Workshop with Ali Hedayat
Haiku is a form of poetry immersed in the Buddhist tradition—a way of life, a way of seeing and above all, a way of reconnecting to nature. The haiku moment is characterized as an experience of the poem itself — its sound, its structure, its images, its characters, and its overall felt significance.
As we step into the Summer season, let's immerse ourselves in the heat of the summer and to contemplate this energy as mother nature rejoices the increased light with the Dharma contemplation about how we can use this heat to fire our courage in our Dharma practice, which will be the discussion for our Sunday program.
The workshop is free, no registration is required. Dana will be accepted.
Where:
At the WHS Meditation Center,
this will be in person only
.
Date:
Sunday, June 23rd.
Time:
4:30 to 5:30 with a loose schedule of:
A short meditation and an open Haiku Guidelines.
15 Min. of Haiku writing. We will walk in silence with a journal to notice any growth and sunlight.
Reading Haiku from Participants with Discussions and reflections.
Closing meditation.
Please bring a notebook and pen.
At 5:30 we'll be setting up for the Sunday program with an invitation for participants to notice the change in transition or walk outside for further reflections. If folks want a longer meditation practice, we encourage walking meditation and possibly more Haiku reflection OR bring a snack or dinner and have a mindful meal together before the Sunday program about impermanence.
Ali has had an interest in contemplation since childhood which has led him to study various philosophical and human behavior disciplines and pursue various contemplative paths. He has been practicing Meditation since Mid 90's and completed the first facilitator training program of Insight LA.
He led a sitting group every other week in the South Bay area for Insight LA before his relocation to the beautiful Central Coast which he proudly calls home now.
