Description:

Matsuo Basho has inspired the world of Haiku for over 300 years. In l689, Basho walked Japan’s Northern Interior, recording the essential and transient nature of what he encountered. This path was also a metaphoric trail into the strong desire to wander and the eternal question of human and divine. Like Basho, we bring this practice of awareness into our present day through walking, meditation, and haiku-writing.

Basho’s view of the world has reached far and wide—from Hiroshige’s prints in the late 1800s, to the Beat poets of the 1950s, to the online Haiku journals of today. During this well-attended, annual weekend in February of 2019, we took the journey together into the deep north with poets, Zen Buddhists, and writers to guide you: Natalie Goldberg, Sensei Kaz Tanahashi, Clark Strand, and Roshi Joan Halifax.

Opening the weekend haiku program, Natalie Goldberg, Clark Strand, Sensei Kaz Tanahashi, and Roshi Joan Halifax share the insight, mystery, and joy of the form.
