• Freedom Riders

  <p><strong>Freedom Riders explores the valiant and courageous personalities behind one of the most critical chapters in the history of the civil rights movement. The play demonstrates the importance of working together to affect change and specifically how nonviolent protest was used to combat the cruelties of segregation. Set in 1961, freedom riders - both Black and White Americans - decided to travel together on buses that crossed state lines purposefully disregarding the hateful segregation practices that were still commonplace in so many parts of the United States. The unforgettable heroes and the facts behind the events portrayed in Freedom Riders are essential to a full understanding of the civil rights era and American history.</strong></p> 2021-12-01 21:00:00 -0600

• Mad River Theater Words presents “Freedom Riders”

  <p>"Freedom Riders" is the latest addition to the series of American history plays created by Mad River Theater Works. Through original songs and music, the play explores the valiant and courageous personalities behind one of the most critical events in the Civil Rights Movement. Set in 1961, 15 years after the United States Supreme Court had outlawed segregation, bus lines and cities throughout the South still enforced a rigid system of separating black and white citizens. The Freedom Riders, a group of black and white Americans from both the North and the South, decided to travel together on buses that crossed state lines, despite the hateful segregation and racism that had a strong hold in so many parts of the United States. "Freedom Riders" depicts the unforgettable heroes behind this event and demonstrates the importance of working together to affect change.</p><p>Individual tickets to each Marquis Series event are available at no charge to Coe students, faculty and staff. &nbsp;Tickets are $15 for the general public and $10 for senior citizens (55 and older) and non-Coe students (18 and under). &nbsp;Tickets for Marquis Series events may be obtained <a data-cke-saved-href="https://coe.universitytickets.com/w/default.aspx" href="https://coe.universitytickets.com/w/default.aspx">by clicking here</a> or by visiting or calling the Coe College Box Office at 319.399.8600 (Monday-Friday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m.). Tickets are also available at the door in Sinclair Auditorium on the night of each event.</p><p>Inquiries about the series may be directed to marquisseries@coe.edu</p><p>The Marquis Series is funded by a gift from the estate of Sarah Marquis in honor of her father, Dr. John A. Marquis, who was president of Coe College from 1909-1920. The purpose of the series is to bring entertainment and educational presentations to the Coe campus for the benefit of the entire community.</p>

• 5-Day Yoga Journey - To Be Genuine

  <p>Early morning yoga to start your day every day for 5 days in a row. Having had a life-changing experience at my Immersion retreat to become certified as a yoga teacher, where we co-created a safe space that fostered deep transformation, I intend to co-create that same sort of space in these 5-Day Yoga Journeys. We share the universal spiritual principles of yoga and how they apply to our modern lives and then take our shared intentions and insights into an asana practice.</p><p>&nbsp;<u>To Be Genuine - 5-Day Yoga Journey - December 6-10, 6:30AM-7:30AM, the Studio at Illuminations, Cherry Building</u></p><p>https://lionheartcoaching.org/5-dayyogajourney</p><p>What does it mean to be Genuine? &nbsp;The word "genuine" means real, authentic. &nbsp;It brings to mind someone without pretenses, without subterfuge or hidden agendas.</p><p>How often to bring up veils of protection that hide our genuine selves? &nbsp;How often do we censor what we tell people (or share on social media) so that we present a picture of a happy person?</p><p>What if, in our fear of showing our genuine selves, we're depriving the world of our raw, authentic beauty, even if it's difficult to show? &nbsp;I invite you to show up genuinely, in a safe, judgement free space. &nbsp;I invite you to show up because this is how I’m going to show up - warts, weaknesses, strengths and gifts and all.</p><p>In this 5-Day Yoga Journey, we will share a practice that includes contemplation, meditation, breathing exercises, mantras, and asana (vinyasa, power, yin). &nbsp;An early morning session, 5 days in a row, designed to create a retreat-like atmosphere. &nbsp;A 5 day commitment to help foster growth and healing.</p><p>About David: David teaches a mixture of yoga styles. Power, vinyasa, restorative, yin. There will be times when the asanas (poses) will be active. Modifications will be offered – and highly encouraged. Every body is unique. Your version of a pose will be different than everyone else’s. You will be encouraged to do your yoga – and fully accepted for whatever that is.</p><p>Cost is $75 for 5 days. &nbsp;</p><p>David Gustafson teaches a mixture of yoga styles.

• Winter Solstice: Opening to the Light Retreat at Prairiewoods

  <p>Like plants opening to light, so we—amid the strain of pandemic, political strife and other life storms—seek revitalizing ways to heal, rest, release, open, transform and renew. This deeply nourishing retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) offers such healing. It offers invitation to holistically perceive, experience and re-identify with what ancient spiritual wisdom traditions, mystics, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and quantum physics have been trying to tell us: that all of creation, including our own embodied beings, is vibrating energy or Light. Also how our separate sense of self is an illusion because this Light, Qi or indwelling life force energy weaves us as One. Join facilitator Dr. Catherine Quehl-Engel for a weekend of Light, ease-filled lightness of being, and both personally and collectively experiencing mystical union with the Sacred in creation and in our bodies, minds and souls. Offerings include: TCM energy-based meditative Yin Yoga and Qigong for opening energy pathways for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing; night prayers with compassionate embrace of life’s night seasons, Mystery and dark nights of the soul; star gazing and inter-spiritual ways of praying with (and learning from) quiet Earth, animals, moon and sky amid winter stillness; healing energy transmission; and resting in sublime serenity and Theta/Delta brainwave states through Yogic Sleep and soothing Vibrational Sound Healing for release of stress, communing with the Sacred, and planting the seed of re-identification with Light and more ease-filled ways of being within the subconscious. The cost is $230 and includes sessions, lodging and all meals. The commuter fee is $180 and includes sessions, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2021-10-09 13:00:00 -0500

• Yacht Rock Revue

  <p>Yacht Rock Revue began in the least-yachtiest of states, 2,000 miles from breezy Marina del Rey. Lead singer/guitarist/group spiritual leader, Nick Niespodziani and Pete Olson met in the fourth grade in suburban Indiana, went on to Indiana University in the late Nineties, formed the band Y-O-U, then escaped – Rupert Holmes reference intended – to Atlanta. One night, Y-O-U tucked their tongues deep in their cheeks and played a show of Yacht Rock songs. The rowdy (a nice way of saying drunk), sold-out crowd loved it. When the club owner asked them to do it again, Niespodziani didn’t want to. But the club owner had an ace up his sleeve: money.</p><p>Over the years, YRR (there’s also a Dave, a Greg, and literally three guys named Mark) have turned themselves into human wine spritzers, playing 120 to 150 shows a year, mastering Yacht Rock’s slick chords and mellow grooves, and partying like it’s 1979. What began as a joke among friends soon put a ripple in the zeitgeist, starting a national trend through YRR’s concerts, lauded as “unabashedly joyous affairs” by Entertainment Weekly. They accumulated an extensive wardrobe of white belts and polyester shirts. Yacht Rock Revue were revered and well-compensated! Their life was a tenor sax solo! This is what every musician wants.</p>
