Drumming for Healing at Prairiewoods
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Feel the Creator’s rhythm inside you during a drum circle. Join facilitator Sheri Mealhouse (Hawkwoman) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. In the cosmic experience, drumming touches us at a deep level and brings all creation together as a community. Especially now, when our external and internal worlds can be so polarized, communication that bears witness to creative love is very important. Drumming—and feeling the Creator’s rhythm inside of us—resonates with a variety of people. All racial, economic, denominational and other differences can disappear when a group of people share rhythm. As you prayerfully listen to other drummers in order to make music, the whole group becomes one! These drum circles take place monthly, and you may attend one or all. No experience is necessary. You are welcome to bring your own drum or use one of ours. This drum circle will meet near the pond south of the Center if the weather is nice or in the Art Room during inclement weather. A free-will offering to the facilitator will be accepted. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 2017-08-19 19:00:00 -0500

Singing Your Song I: The Power of the Poetic Line
<p>In this workshop, taught by Anne G. Myles, PhD, we will look closely at how lines and line breaks work in free verse poetry, including such matters as the rhythms of short and longer lines, the effects of end-stopping and enjambment, of how poetic sentences work. There will be some quiet writing time to experiment or work with exercises, and time for workshopping at the end. Participants may bring in a poem they have written previously for us to look at, or share a published poem in which the handling of line interests them. Note: we will not directly address meter and rhyme in this session, but it will be discussed in next month’s workshop. This workshop is open to poets of all levels.</p> 2019-02-01 16:00:00 -0600
