This unique workshop will encompass components of Meditation and Mindfulness using Haiku poetry. NO experience necessary in any of these components! Actually, I will give everyone the experience of starting fresh, and perhaps discovering something new along the way. I will provide brief instructions and gentle guiding through the experiences, allowing “you to be You” in the moment without assumptions, allowing you to experience the essence of moments, your space, your thoughts. This workshop is about being Present, and empowering yourself with playfulness and experience the power of words. Be prepared to be immersed in your day at beautiful Wiawaka; a place of connection creativity and calm. There will be time for lunch as well as some time to enjoy the facility as you would like. At the end of the day you just might be surprised at yourself for what you produce, or how you feel! It is my hope that you leave with more than you came with after your day.
