'Writing From Within', A Workshop in Haiku, Mindfulness & Forest Bathing

On this summer Saturday, we will blend tuition in haiku, the ancient Japanese poetry form, with exercises in mindfulness, which are designed to bring participants into the moment. We will have a shorter walk in the morning during which we will seek out haiku moments in the beautiful surroundings of Glendalough round tower and graveyard.

In the afternoon, there will be a special forest bathing session with Eddie Gilligan of Acorn Forest Bathing, who will lead us in a quiet wander among the trees, where we can tune into our senses and immerse ourselves in nature.

Note 1: No experience of writing poetry or haiku is needed for this workshop and only haiku written on the day will be workshopped.

Note 2: Please bring a notebook, pen/pencil, a raincoat and sensible walking shoes!

Please note that places are limited to ten so first come, first served.

Cost: €100pp (this includes lunch, tea & coffee) Booking Deposit Required.
