The Art of Nature & Nature of Art at Prairiewoods: Poetry
<p>Join Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) every other month as we reflect in nature and express our mindful exploration through art. The October session will feature Prairiewoods’ artist-in-residence, poet Carol Tyx, as we celebrate fall’s emergence. We will explore the woodland, prairie, wetlands and gardens, and engage with a deeper understanding of the ecology that encompasses our environment. Upon the conclusion of our walk, Carol will help us to reflect on what we observed and manifest it in the form of poetry. A free-will offering will be accepted. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-06-20 12:00:00 -0500
