"Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream" - A Dinner & Concert Fundraiser

<p>Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s shadow looms large--so large that the names of some of his close colleagues in the civil rights movement remain unheralded. Bayard Rustin is not a household name today, but he was the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, among his long and broad lifetime of activism for the rights of people in all walks of life. In addition to his work as an activist, Rustin was a musician, an art collector and an athlete -- all elements which describe a man who was shunned for another characteristic: his sexuality.<br><br>In an evening celebrating this monumental figure, The Quire invites the community to join us for dinner before the show, and then stay to hear the story of Bayard Rustin as told in this recently commissioned work.<br><br>$35 - Dinner & Show entry     |     $20 - Show entry only<br><br><strong>DINNER SERVICE:</strong><br>Starters: Vegetable Soup; House Salad with Vinaigrette <br>Main Course: Handmade Ravioli, filled with Ricotta+Parmesan and Butternut Squash+Sage, served with a House-made Vegetarian Ragù, with a side of Tartine (sourdough) Baguettes & butter<br>Dessert: Italian Coconut Cream Cake with Toasted Coconut<br>Drinks: Coffee (regular and decaf), Iced Tea, and Juiced Punch<br><br>Tickets available through the link on this event, or at <a data-lynx-mode="hover" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fthequire.org%2Fcalendar%2Fupcoming-concerts%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3LY_EGfq3VsYH33lM2R6pUtHsLqkAH41FZuTWfE9-zjAkuXeStmONU-TA&h=AT3eSKY483fvTldh2fQfqGEczFMZCTxYD0fTqTjdAK22YXAWMoOm0wRWFT9p4EB09JEeJKrDvtLqICahv6xJcHImooSK_Eh9ecD0EDnzYAEv7tCDcT-hx4Z57cZZKzDYAQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://thequire.org/calendar/upcoming-concerts/</a><br><br>If you are unable to attend on this date, we invite you to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/2614975852070662/" target="_blank">Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream</a> in our Iowa City performance of this marvelous work.<br><br>If you wish to support this program or work like this, but are unable to attend, we invite you to visit <a data-lynx-mode="hover" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thequire.org%2Fsupport%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR08bChxJsj5uxxjqjZALMjVNhsnHqpT10Hkk5_0j7c_tF5bJMxHeZFemHQ&h=AT3zG5zirTwtFMTGqR0EyFhU8eBRn1daVwhj9MELL1OXq7R6_geF0iV6rf5eOmVley7n_x_ZKplZ7PRtVCh3fO489ImQMV1RnTvpnUAhnA4blYw_Nb90uLsUtYxz1z_tPA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.thequire.org/support</a> for ways to support this meaningful work as The Quire celebrates 25 years of music. </p> 2020-02-10 21:00:00 -0600

The Energy of Love Retreat at Prairiewoods

<p>There are beautiful wild forces within us, says St. Francis. This heart-focused mind-body-spirit-practices retreat taps East-West spiritual wisdom on indwelling life force. The Spirit coursing through life’s veins fills and interconnects us, all creation and the Sacred as one. Join facilitator Catherine Quehl-Engel at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) as we harness the healing energy of love. We will practice shifting our awareness to the oneness we’ve had all along through radiant heart, breath and energy-centered meditation, yoga and prayerful sending of compassionate healing intention. We will also practice deep peace <em>yoga nidra</em> (or yogic sleep), vibrational sound healing, and the energy medicine of qigong and healing touch. This retreat enfolds insights from mysticism and HeartMath scientific research. The cost of this weekend retreat 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>

Saturday Soul-Stretch for Lovers of Embodied Spirituality at Prairiewoods

<p>Wake up! Wake up! The weekend is here. Saturday Soul Stretch will get us out of bed and back into our full-spectrum humanity. Join facilitator Laura Weber at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) to de-stress, reconnect and sink deeply into the present moment. A hot breakfast starts the day, followed by gentle tai chi movement and a sitting meditation to foster deep relaxation. To relax and engage, sip a cup of aromatic tea and enter into a whole new realm of exploration with a different spiritual modality each month, such as dream work, journaling, mandalas, labyrinth, breath-exercise, sounding, centering prayer, poetry for the soul, singing bowl meditation or drumming. To cap off the morning’s spiritual workout, enjoy a mindfulness walk out in the beauty of Prairiewoods’ 70 acres of prairie grasses, trees, streams and gardens, with only the owls, squirrels, turkeys and deer as your companion-guides. Finally, return to the Spirituality Center for a scrumptious luncheon, and leave happy and refreshed. The cost is $50 and includes breakfast and lunch. (You may choose to pay an additional $25 to stay through the afternoon with dinner, or $55 to stay overnight with Sunday breakfast.)

Ignatius at 2020 Retreat at Prairiewoods

<p>Ignatius of Loyola was both a mystic with a powerful vision of the interconnectedness of humanity with all other creatures and also a practical man of his time and place. He was the inventor of the modern university and the visionary founder of the Jesuits. Because of his special interest in personal and social transformation, we at Prairiewoods are including him in our series of retreats featuring cosmic visionaries of the past and what they have to teach us about our pilgrimage on planet Earth today. Join facilitator Father Dennis Hamm, SJ, at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) as we work with forms of meditation, contemplation and discernment inspired by Ignatius’ methods in the latter’s Spiritual Exercises. Dennis will give special attention to the spirituality of Pope Francis as articulated in his eco-encyclical, <em>Laudato Si’: On Care for our Common Home, </em>in response to the cry of Earth and the cry of the poor. The cost of this weekend retreat 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>

Book Club: My Sister, the Serial Killer

<p>About the Book<br> My Sister, the Serial Killer is a blackly comic novel about how blood is thicker - and more difficult to get out of the carpet - than water...<br> <br> When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other...<br><br>About the Author<br> OYINKAN BRAITHWAITE is a graduate of Creative Writing and Law from Kingston University. Following her degree, she worked as an assistant editor at Kachifo, a Nigerian publishing house, and has been freelancing as a writer and editor since.
