We would like to invite you to join us for the Gatha Writing Workshop sponsored by Honpa Hongwanji Hilo Betsuin, which will be held on May 15 and 22, 2022 at 1:30 p.m.-4:00 p.m.

This will be a two part sessions, which include:

• Learn rhythm and structure in poetry and music
• Based on a theme, practice writing short poems or lyrics (Session 1)
• Take work home to flush out poetic or lyrical lines
• Return to workshop for review, edit, collaboration and a draft (Session 2)
• E-mail follow-up may ensue for any musical compositions (this is the ultimate goal! – an eventual gatha)!

If you would like to sign up or have any questions, please contact workshop facilitator, BJ Soriano at bj@bjsoriano.com for more information.
