Writing Haiku As Sacred Art Website

Overview

Living in the present moment with attentiveness using all our senses is a spiritual practice enhanced by writing haiku. Haiku is a brief poem, usually of three lines with 17 syllables or fewer, that originated in Japan. Traditionally haiku included a nature image and seasonal reference but has expanded in English to capture a variety of moments within our everyday days—moments in which we can recognize the Sacred. Writing prompts and contemplative walks will fuel our creativity and awareness throughout the day.
