Go Deeper Thursdays with Prairiewoods
<p>The fruitful Go Deeper gatherings during the pandemic opened some avenues into a collective presence—a “WE space”—a time when a group of people listened into the middle in order to hear the Spirit’s guidance. Gathering each week for over a year during the pandemic called into being a foundation of relationships exploring the collective consciousness, or WE space. Beginning in September, Go Deeper will gather online via Zoom on the first and third Thursdays of each month to practice some of the tools that aid participation in the wider WE space that help us to read the collective and listen deeply to our emergent, inter-connected wisdom. Who is this “WE” that we mean? It is wider than our own ego or individual selves, wider than our most intimate circles, our community, work, worship and social circles, and wider even than our human community. It is no less than the “WE” of all creation. On each first Thursday, facilitators Laura Weber and Ellen Bruckner will guide us to focus on the tools that enhance this journey of going deeper into the WE space. On the third Thursday, we will explore a topic that deepens the dive into the collective. We know from listening that we must continue this journey of going deeper, so come join us! <a name="_Hlk79138343">Join using </a>the Zoom meeting link https://zoom.us/j/943001589?pwd=_fTU3ZYxOtQ. If prompted, enter meeting ID 943 001 589 and passcode 096247. A free-will offering will be accepted, and, beginning in September, a one-time registration will be required. For more information, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p><p><br></p> 2020-05-15 17:00:00 -0500
