2019 Yuki Teikei Haiku Society Annual Retreat
Asilomar State Beach and Conference Center, Pacific Grove, CA
November 8 – 11, 2019 (Friday – Monday)
Each year the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society hosts a long-weekend haiku poetry retreat at the Asilomar Lodge & Conference Center, located along a dramatic section of the Monterey California coastline. The retreat is designed to nurture the creative spirit of haiku poets. Guest speakers will offer insight into the process of writing haiku. The program allows time for attendees to wander and write in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. There will be opportunities for poets to share their work with each other.
Michele Root-Bernstein will be our special guest speaker this year. Michele is a well-known haiku poet, a historian, an independent scholar in creative studies affiliated with Michigan Statue University, and a teaching artist associated with the John F. Kennedy Center. She will give a lecture, a haiku reading, and lead a craft workshop.
Other retreat events will include: a traditional kukai led by Patricia Machmiller; a dress up renku party; an art party; a haiga event; the announcement of the 2019 Tokutomi Haiku Contest results; and the presentation of the 2019 YTHS Anthology.
We are looking forward to the retreat., and hope to see many of you there.
