Slowing Down With Haiku

"Haiku was one of the ways that I found was a practice that actually helped me sit better with complexity because its purpose is not to break something apart, but to understand both its wholeness and its essence."

These sessions feature in a series produced by Ritual: Wellbeing. In this series, “John Paul Lederach and Ritual’s Maia Tarrell explore the traditional Japanese poetry of Haiku as a way to tune into our senses, bringing awareness and playfulness into everyday moments.” The entire ‘Slowing Down with Haiku’ series is available on the Ritual app, which offers audio practices that help people flourish.
