Class with a Minister - Encountering Haiku As Heart Connection and Mindful Practice
Dates: Wednesdays – August 19, 26, September 2, 16, 23
Time: 6:00 - 7:30pm
Location: Fellowship Hall
Format: Multiplatform
Guided by Rev. Jacqueline
Participants will form a small group for the rich practice of reading, meditating on, and writing haiku over five sessions.
By approaching haiku as an intentional encounter between heart and mind in the present moment, we will develop both a creative mindfulness practice and a writing process that expands our awareness of Self and touches into our internal wisdom and the world around us. Previous writing experience is not required, only a willingness to do so. Class is offered as multi-platform, in person and online. Please register by Sunday, August 9.
