Virtual Thursday Forum: The 1918 Influenza Pandemic
<p dir="ltr">A century ago, the world faced a global health crisis that in many ways parallels the present-day challenges we face during the COVID-19 pandemic. This Thursday Forum offers historical perspective and insights on the current public health crisis by providing an overview of the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic, which erupted amidst the already-significant suffering and destruction of World War I. This two-session forum will begin with an overview of the origins, diffusion, mitigation, and impacts of the 1918 influenza outbreak. We will look into how the disease developed and spread, examining the pandemic from a global perspective. The presentation will consider the medical understanding of the disease and attempts to counter it, as well as the social and cultural factors that determined its evolution and treatment. The second forum will examine how the outbreak played out in Cedar Rapids, comparing and contrasting the experience of students at Coe and townspeople in the area. Through use of historical archival and newspaper sources, we will recreate the situation in eastern Iowa and evaluate the impact that the war, gender, and class had on healthcare and survival. This examination will be tied together with a look into the life and legend of Helen Roberts, the only Coe student to die in the epidemic and who is now alleged to haunt Voorhees Hall.</p><p>The virtual event will be found at <a href="https://portal.stretchinternet.com/coeadmin/">https://portal.stretchinternet.com/coeadmin/</a></p> 2020-09-09 23:58:00 -050010/01/2012:00 a.m.Coe CollegeCedar Rapids -

St. Francis Day Celebration: Blessing of the Animals & Poetry Book Launch
<p>Celebrate the patron saint of ecology, St. Francis of Assisi, on his feast day with Prairiewoods’ popular annual Blessing of the Animals! Join us online via Zoom for a celebration of our connection with animals, trees and all of Creation. Kids and animal companions (whether furry, winged, scaled or finned) are invited to join us for this free afternoon. At this year’s celebration, we’ll also launch <em>Outstretched Boughs, </em>a book of poetry and reflections on Prairiewoods’ trees. It was started as a labor of love by Prairiewoods friend Kathy Decker and foundress Betty Daugherty, FSPA. It has been completed in loving memory of both women. This 40-page, self-published gem features poems and photographs of the trees at Prairiewoods. It can be purchased now for $10 (plus $2 shipping, if applicable) by calling 319-395-6700. This afternoon will include poetry readings to honor trees that fell in the storm and celebrate those that are still standing. Please be ready with your screen of choice, your pets and your sense of wonder at the beauty of trees and all creation! To join the celebration, use the Zoom meeting link (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89742720267?pwd=OUN3SnB4Y2RBOTBzYVFndFd2dG9Vdz09). If prompted, enter meeting ID 897 4272 0267 and password 731481.

Metta Yoga at Prairiewoods
<p>Experience the healing powers of meditative yoga from the spiritual environment and natural beauty of Prairiewoods via Zoom. Join us as we link our movements with our breath and cultivate strength, flexibility and relaxation through regular hatha-style yoga classes. RYT-200 Hour Certified Yoga Alliance Instructors Carla Brems and Heather English offer Gentle/Beginner’s Yoga (Mondays and Thursdays from 9:30–10:30 a.m.). People of all fitness levels and abilities are encouraged to participate whenever available. Carla Brems enjoys teaching hatha-style yoga so that all feel welcome and safe to appreciate and enjoy the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that yoga can bring. Heather English began practicing yoga for the mental health benefits and became a yoga instructor in order to share these amazing benefits with others. Heather is inspired by the potential that a regular yoga practice has for impacting so many areas of life. In fact, it was her yoga training that motivated her to begin crafting as a career, to share her crafting with others, and to regularly explore the intersection of yoga and creativity. Let’s see how Carla and Heather can help us benefit from yoga! Please plan to attend via Zoom from a quiet corner in your home or yard with your screen of choice! The cost is $60 for a 6-punch card or $99 for an 11-punch card. For more information, to register and to get your Zoom connection information, contact Carla at bremscarla@gmail.com or 319-533-3772.</p> 2019-02-15 10:30:00 -0600
