Go Deeper Thursdays at Prairiewoods

Go Deeper Thursdays emerged in the context of the global pandemic, or as Prairiewoods calls it, the PanDeepening. Our reflective and lively Thursday conversations opened us to spiritual deepening, providing a sacred space to share our PanDeepening awareness, a place where we explored venues for collective presencing and delving into the wider “We” space. As our journey meandered through topics associated with inter-breathing and collective consciousness, we embraced diverse resources for consideration. Through simple breathing meditations, poetry, practicing mindfulness, storytelling, re-languaging, listening to creation’s song and many small group experiences, we have been learning to read the collective and listen deeply to our emergent, inter-connected wisdom. In the process, we are becoming more expansive, more inclusive, recognizing our place in the wider “We.” 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. These conversations hosted by Prairiewoods via Zoom are facilitated by Ellen Bruckner and Laura A. Weber, Ph.D. The cost is $10 per month, and registration is required to get the Zoom link. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700. 2022-04-17 17:00:00 -0500

Cedar Amateur Astronomers present Solar Saturday, July 9, 2022

Learn more about our nearest star – the Sun - as Cedar Amateur Astronomers and our own Mr. Carl Bracken present a Solar Saturday event entitled "The Sun and Earth Connections" from 3-6 PM on Saturday July 9, 2022. Mr. Bracken will present some of the recent research which involves the interconnection between the Sun and the Earth and the wide range of global impacts driven by the Sun.  In the current phase of solar cycle 25, we are seeing an increase in sun spots, flares, prominence, and coronal mass ejections. Mr. Bracken will provide video of these events and explain how and why they occur and describe what this means to us.Weather permitting, stick around following the presentation for the rare opportunity to safely view the Sun, as CAA members will be operating several telescopes equipped with approved solar viewing filters. Remember, NEVER look at the Sun without the proper filters! Only specially equipped optical aids can be used to safely observe the sun.CAA members will also be giving tours of the facility and will be available to answer questions as you browse the exhibits and displays. This event is for all ages and levels of astronomy interest and free of charge. 2022-05-16 18:00:00 -0500

Men Exploring Faith at Prairiewoods

Behavioral scientists and spiritual guides have noted a major transformation in the life direction of many men as we mature. It may happen gradually or abruptly, as early as our 20s or in our 50s or 60s. Some men never make this shift, described as a change from goal drivenness to receptivity, from ego to wisdom. The transition can start from the inside (Why am I doing what I’m doing?) or the outside (from a loss or threat), and it may seem disruptive while on the way to being life-enhancing. Join with a small group of reflective men at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) in honest conversation about these changes. This group meets the second and fourth Thursdays of each month and is facilitated by Linzy Martin. A free-will offering is accepted, and registration is not necessary. For more information, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700. 2022-05-26 17:30:00 -0500
