November 12-14, 2010 workshop
The Haiku Path at the Zen Mountain Monastery, Mt. Tremper, NY (Course:ART10B3)
To register call (845) 688-2228 or visit the website.
According to one common definition, a haiku is a short poem that records the essence of a moment keenly perceived, in which nature is linked to human nature. For some, writing haiku is also a spiritual path. Many haiku poets have practiced Zen, so it is no surprise to find that these two paths have much in common. For students in the Mountains and Rivers Order, haiku provides a wonderful way to take up the gate of art practice, and to directly experience the intimate connection between moment-to-moment awareness and one's inherent creativity.
During this workshop, which will show how haiku can help to reveal the radiance of "ordinary" moments, Stanford M. Forrester will introduce and discuss the many aspects of writing haiku, including how this art can be integrated into one's spiritual practice. Each participant will learn the skills necessary to approach a haiku as well as compose, revise, and recite haiku through various exercises and methods. Everyone is welcome. No experience is necessary.
