This is a new session which enhances our Path to Emotional Healing Program at Yume Japanese Gardens. We recommend it as both a standalone experience or as part of your initial journey on the Path to Emotional Healing Program. This two-hour reflective journaling experience invites participants to explore the profound connection between nature and their inner selves. Rooted in the tranquil beauty of the gardens, the session serves as a foundation for the transformative journey ahead, encouraging participants to align their emotional healing with the serenity and wisdom of nature.
Through guided mindfulness exercises, journaling prompts, and personal reflection, participants will begin to perceive the gardens as a mirror to their emotions - a space where growth, resilience, and joy are nurtured. The session encourages them to explore their personal stories with curiosity and compassion, using the natural elements of the garden as inspiration for self-discovery and emotional renewal.
This reflective exercise introduces participants to the program’s purpose: building emotional balance, self-awareness, and a sense of peace through regular solo walks in the gardens. It sets the tone for a month-long journey of healing, where participants are guided by their personal reflections and the garden’s timeless rhythms.
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.
