Valašsky Frgal: large kolach
<p>Most of Czech food lovers have heard about kolaches. In this class, you will be introduced to a version that is not so commonly known in the U.S., but it is incredibly delicious and popular in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Valassky frgal has a shape like a pizza, but the dough is clearly a special kolach dough. The topping is usually at least 50% of all kolach, so if you like a lot of toppings, this will be your favorite. The final touch is a delicate topping of streusel that will bring this kolach to perfection. Part of this class will be the preparation of fillings from scratch: plum and pear.</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> Suitable for vegetarians.</p><p><br></p><p>Our popular virtual cooking classes are back! Cook and eat an authentic Czech and Slovak dish from the comfort of your home. Join us on Zoom and learn from Czech-born Chef Tom Slepicka in these hands-on, interactive classes.</p><p>Slepicka graduated from culinary school in his hometown, Brno, located in the Czech Republic. While still in school, he established a successful full-service catering company, which operated in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, and Austria. Slepicka moved to the U.S. with his wife in 2014. From 2015-16, he operated the Czech Deli at the NewBo City Market. The goal of his courses is to make tasty and high-quality meals accessible to everyone.</p> 2021-03-12 20:30:00 -0600

Spirituality in the 21st Century: Flaring Forth into Fullness of Life with Prairiewoods
<p>Friday, April 30, 7–9 p.m., & Saturday, May 1, 9 a.m.–3 p.m.</p><p>Prairiewoods celebrates our 25th Jubilee with a truly special Spirituality in the 21st Century event, offered entirely online via Zoom. This year’s online gathering features Thomas Berry biographers Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim from the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology (https://fore.yale.edu/). Tucker and Grim are the executive producers of the Emmy Award–winning film Journey of the Universe, narrated by Brian Swimme (https://www.journeyoftheuniverse.org/). This year’s event also welcomes eco-philosopher David Abram, founding director of the Alliance for Wild Ethics (https://wildethics.org/) and author of Spell of the Sensuous and Becoming Animal. We will also be joined by Joanna Macy–protégé and Active Hope aficionada Kathleen Rude, author of the eco-mystical novel The Redemption of Red Fire Woman (https://gaiawisdom.org/). The beautiful musical accompaniment of Sara Thomsen (https://sarathomsen.com) will weave lyrical poetry throughout the weekend. This event promises to be one of profound story, an opportunity for healing and refreshment, a wakeful enlightenment for our imagination with music as balm for the soul, and a gentle invitation for immersion into the wider “We” we have been longing for with all our hearts. From Prairiewoods’ founding until 2021, our mission has been framed with the Universe Story, a 13.7-billion-year journey that celebrates the wild fecundity of life from the Great Flaring Forth forward. Mary Evelyn and John share a passion and abiding love for the pioneering work of self-described “geologian” Thomas Berry, as well as his field’s foremost formative architect, Jesuit paleontologist and eco-philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ. They will take us along on a fantastic exploration of how Teilhard’s and Thomas’ work continues to unfold in eco-spirituality circles today. As a spellbinding artist and cartographer of the numinous in creation, David captivates listeners with his uncanny ability to draw us into communion with the breathing, animate Earth, a community of living subjects all pulsating with the rhythm of the unfolding cosmos. After an hour or two with David submerging us in what Berry called the “single gorgeous celebratory event” that is creation, we will begin to feel more in sync with our creature-kin and arbor-elders, the stones and the crashing waves, than we ever thought possible. And as an environmentalist, shamanic practitioner, writer and activist/educator, Kathleen will invite us to enter into the very fabric of creation’s extended family, the ineffable beauty and mystery of the web of life, as healing for our spiritual malaise. Along with our beloved musician-of-Earth Sara Thomsen, they will coax us (ala Thoreau) to “live deep and suck all the marrow out of life,” and celebrate the unfolding of the Universe Story as a context for spiritual sojourners in 2021. This two-day event will take place entirely online via Zoom, and the cost is $75. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700. If you are up for the mission, come expecting the joy of surprise and a taste of new life!</p><p><br></p> 2021-02-06 21:00:00 -0600

Metta Yoga with Prairiewoods
<p>Experience the healing powers of meditative yoga via Zoom with Prairiewoods. 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 with your screen of choice! The cost is $60 for a 6-punch card or $99 for an 11-punch card.

Early Stage Dementia Support Group
<p>Early Stage Support Groups benefit persons living with dementia by providing a platform to build a network of others sharing a similar experience; offer ways to solve common problems; talk through challenges and suggest ways to cope; create a safe space to share feelings, needs, and concerns; and learn about local resources. To determine whether a person living with dementia is fit for the group, a screening is required. This ensures the group meets the needs of its members. In order to participate in the group, each member must: have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, have mild memory loss or other mild symptoms due to dementia, acknowledge their diagnosis and related symptoms, be willing to participate in group discussions, be able to communicate their symptoms and experience, and have no other serious medical conditions or mental illness that could put anyone at risk. Group members and care partners must also recognize that membership in the group is temporary, as all persons with dementia will progress beyond the ability to participate. This group will meet monthly on the third Tuesday at 10:00 am beginning March 16, 2021, and it will run for six months. After six months, all members will be rescreened. Those still fit will be invited back to the group, while those who have progressed, and their caregivers, will be transitioned to more appropriate resources. New members will be accepted until May 2021. Anyone interested in joining or learning more about the group can reach out to Acacia Deadrick at (712) 454-5035 or aadeadrick@alz.org. </p> 2021-05-18 11:30:00 -05005/18/2110:00 a.m.Alzheimer's AssociationCedar Rapids -

Hits of the Ragtime Era
<p>Hits of the Ragtime Era</p><p>Pop music comes and goes, but some songs from over 100 years ago are just as fresh in the mind as the day they were written. The Entertainer, Alexander’s Ragtime Band, St. Louis Blues, and Ballin’ the Jack are still familiar, but even when they first hit the scene, these songs were recognized as having something special. We’ll take a look at some of the songs that captivated the public and how their popularity continued into the present, and we’ll also share some songs and rags that were hits back in their day. So to quote Irving Berlin, “come on along” for a great hour of ragtime and also some early jazz and blues.</p><p>“Cherry & Jerry” is Isaac Cherry on percussion and Jerry Rabushka on piano. Based in St. Louis, the duo is also part of the larger “Ragged Blade Band,” and has toured music of the ragtime era throughout several states.</p><p>This program will be via Zoom.

Women of Ragtime
<div data-layout-label="Post Body" data-type="item" data-updated-on="1615999545890"><div data-block-type="2"><p>Women of Ragtime</p><p>Women ragtime composers faced challenges – it wasn’t considered very “ladylike” to write this kind of music, and once they got married, they were expected to give up their career and raise a family. Still, a surprising amount of ragtime was written by young women, and much of it was very successful in its time. We’ll share some music by May Aufderheide, the Indiana composer who is considered the best of the female composers; Charlotte Blake of Detroit, who was known not only for ragtime but also for popular songs; and Irene Giblin, who got her start demonstrating sheet music in a St. Louis department store. Along with that were some famous singers; vaudeville performer Sophie Tucker had an unusual rag written especially for her.</p><p>“Cherry & Jerry” is Isaac Cherry on percussion and Jerry Rabushka on piano.
