2020 Yuki Teikei Asilomar Retreat

2020 Yuki Teikei Haiku Society Annual Retreat

Asilomar State Beach and Conference Center, Pacific Grove, CA

November 6-9, 2020 (Friday – Monday)

Each year the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society hosts a long weekend haiku retreat at the  Asilomar Lodge and Conference Center, in Pacific Grove, California. Guest speakers will offer insight into the process of writing haiku. There will be time for attendees to wander and write in a relaxed manner and then share their work with each other.

We are thrilled that Emiko Miyashita will be our featured guest presenter this year. She is the director of JAL Foundation which holds the World Children’s Haiku Contest. She also is a judge for ESUJ-H, a monthly haiku column of the English-Speaking Union of Japan. Emiko is a dojin (leading member) of the “Ten’i Providence” Haiku Group in Japan led by Dr. Arima. In addition, she writes for the Dojin’s Column in each issue of the Geppo with Patricia Machmiller. Emiko will give readings, a lecture and a craft workshop.

Other retreat events will include: a traditional kukai; a dress up renku party; an art party; a haiga event; the announcement of the 2020 Tokutomi Haiku Contest results, and; the presentation of the 2020 YTHS Anthology.

We are looking forward to the retreat, and hope to see many of you there.
