UI Tippie College Life Lessons Webinar on Getting Your Ducks in a Row: The documents you need and the challenging discussions you need to have
<p>There comes a time in every one's life when you need to think of the inevitable. For many families, not being prepared creates more work, legal red tape, and potential family conflicts. If only we were better prepared and had made sure that we had all our papers in place (wills, healthcare and medical power of attorney, etc.). This webinar will provide insight into what documents you should have in hand and how to begin those discussions with your loved ones.

Go Deeper Thursdays at Prairiewoods
<p>Go Deeper Thursdays emerged in the context of the global pandemic, or as Prairiewoods calls it, the <em>PanDeepening. </em>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.</p> 2022-10-20 17:00:00 -0500

Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton at Prairiewoods
<p>The practice of contemplative living helps us respond to everyday experiences with greater awareness of our connections with God and others. It becomes a positive force in our lives and provides direction for our journey, enabling us to embrace our truest selves. On these Thursday evenings with Prairiewoods via Zoom, facilitator Carole Butz guides us to explore the truths of human existence using the <em>Bridges to Contemplative Living</em> series, which includes excerpts from the writings of Thomas Merton and other authors. The process involves readings, reflections and contemplative dialogue. A free-will offering will be accepted. Please register for your first session by noon on the previous day to get the Zoom link. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-10-20 20:30:00 -0500
