Come to Yogaville for this unique workshop when the fall leaves are at their height of beauty. Let Rama lead you on a journey toward stillness of mind by engaging the artist within you.
Zen Photography and the Art of Haiku is for those who recognize art as a gateway to the beauty within each of us - "beauty within, beauty without, not two." It is for those who love nature in all her forms, camera in hand, or pen, gazing, we are led to the Still Point, to the image or short poem that most resonates with the soul's yearning.
This retreat is for beginners and the more experienced; cell-phone cameras welcome or Brownies with film! This retreat is about the process of enjoying the radiance of the present moment not unlike the definition of Haiku ... "the essence of a moment keenly perceived, in which nature is linked to human nature."
We will explore the beautiful seven-hundred acre Yogaville landscape overlooking the James River, enjoy guest speakers, campfires, poetry readings and conclude with a solo walk-about.
 About The Presenter
 Rama Roosevelt studied with Minor White, a member of the f/64 club along with Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, and is a long time member of The Haiku Society of America and the Tanka Society of America. His art explores the dialogue between poems and photographs; he is the author of The Alchemy of Brotherhood. Rama has been teaching Yoga for over thirty-five years. Currently he leads interfaith based retreats, teaches Yoga at the University of Connecticut and serves on the board of directors for Woolman Hill, the Quaker retreat center in Deerfield, Massachusetts.
