The writer behind Kokoro
Pierre Geslin “Satch”
Haiku writer, photographer, and mindfulness practitioner.
Pierre lives in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, where walking, observing, and sharing become a way of returning to the beauty of the present moment.
He is the creator of Kaze Dōjō, “The Way of the Wind”, a space for haiku and haiga shaped by attention, the seasons, and ordinary life.
His wider work brings together mindfulness, meditation, Reiki, teaching and writing. Through The Mindfulness Matrix — the book on Amazon, bilingual poetry, reflections and guided practices, he explores how attention becomes a way of meeting life.
These haiku and haiga are invitations to pause, to notice, and to rediscover the extraordinary hidden within ordinary life.
