What's the agenda?

Ginko Walk
Download Event Schedule
  • Ginko is the name of a nature walk to learn and absorb the haiku way of life. It focuses on walking on a historic or picturesque route, observing the many changes in nature and jotting down observations. 
  • The Ginko is a walk that haiku poets or haijin are called, undertake to forage for moments of inspiration that will later become haiku. 
  • The Ginko walk at Lawrence School, Lovedale will span around 2.5 hours, where haijin Shobhana Kumar will spend a little time between the walk to share poignant haiku verses by Japanese haiku masters and well known global writers. 
  • The walk will largely be a silent, introspective time where aspiring writers can note down observations and the minutiae of the natural abundance of the location. 
  • At the end of the walk, the group will sit down, share their thoughts and observations and be introduced to the art of framing a haiku.
