Autumn Haiku Walk: The Quieting of Nature

Join us at Yume Japanese Gardens of Tucson on Sunday, October 20, 2024, for a peaceful haiku walk, The Quieting of Nature. Embrace the stillness of autumn as the season shifts, using haiku to capture its beauty and transitions. Through guided exercises, you’ll heighten your awareness of the present moment—observing falling leaves, crisp air, and the fading light. Reflect on the simplicity and impermanence of autumn as you write haiku inspired by nature’s cycles. This mindful walk will help you find stillness, gratitude, and deeper connection as the world slows down in preparation for winter.
This event will be led by award-winning poet, Kenneth Pearson. Kenneth is the digital librarian for The Haiku Foundation and the author of five collections of poetry, including two collections of haiku.
This learning pathway is part of a program designed by Kenneth Pearson to promote living a Haiku life and having a Haiku mindset.
Kenneth Pearson has a MFA in Creative Writing with a MS in Industrial Organizational Psychology. He serves as the Digital Librarian of The Haiku Foundation, is the Facilitator of the Haiku Walk at Yume Japanese Gardens in Tucson, and the author of two haiku collections. For Kenneth, Haiku has become a cornerstone of his life, teaching him to appreciate simplicity, presence, and the fleeting beauty of each moment.
