2008 Yuki Teikei Haiku Society Retreat
Asilomar Seashore and Conference Center, Pacific Grove, CA
Thursday September 11-Sunday September 14, 2008
Each year the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society hosts a long weekend haiku poetry retreat at Asilomar Lodge & Conference Center, located along a dramatic section of the Monterey California coastline. The retreat is designed to inspire and nurture the creative spirit of haiku poets near and far. Guest speakers will offer insight into the process of writing haiku. The program is designed to allow ample time for attendees to wander and write in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Opportunities are also available for poets to share their work and participate in renku.
Asilomar is a beautiful natural setting near the Pacific Ocean, and the Conference Center is nestled in sand dunes at the edge of a coastal forest. Magic fills the air in this location: paths leading to the beach are shrouded in morning mist, tide pools and shorebirds abound, and the changing tides are graced by spectacular sunsets at dusk. The tranquility and vitality of the area naturally support the creative process.
The theme for our 2008 meeting and special presenters for our retreat will beannounced.
Total cost of the retreat will be announced.
