Drumming for Healing at Prairiewoods
<p class="MsoNormal">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. We are invited to join facilitator Sheri Mealhouse (Hawkwoman) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on the second and fourth Monday of each month for a healing drum circle. As we prayerfully listen to other drummers in order to make music, the whole group becomes one! 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 is accepted at the door. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2017-08-19 19:00:00 -0500

Mindfulness for Families at Prairiewoods
<p>We continually look for creative ways to bring awareness, compassion, kindness, peace and tranquility into our homes. These monthly opportunities at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) are for parents and children from kindergarten through grade 12 to attend together. We will focus on simple, mindful practices to create peaceful awareness in the parent, child and home. Facilitators Kim Seward, BSN, RN, CMI (Certified Mindfulness Instructor), and Ann Jackson, PBVM, will guide us to explore and engage fun mindfulness activities to do together as a family. Practicing foundational aspects of mindful awareness—noticing senses, emotions and thoughts in fun and practical ways—will cultivate awareness, a greater understanding of emotions, kindness and compassion in all relationships, especially the parent-child relationship. As parents and children attend these sessions together, they will build a comprehensive mindfulness toolkit to use for future family enjoyment. Monthly themes include Foundation of Breath (Sunday, Sept. 15, 3–4:30 p.m.), Awareness and Presence (Monday, Oct. 21, 6–7:30 p.m.), Gratitude and Kindness (Sunday, Nov. 17, 3–4:30 p.m.) and Emotions (Monday, Dec. 16, 6–7:30 p.m.). Some activities will occur outside, so please dress accordingly. The cost is $20 per family for each session. Some financial assistance is available. Each session is limited to 30 total parents and children, and registration is required by the previous Monday. (Please include the total number and ages of participants at registration.) For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-08-19 16:30:00 -0500

The workshop is open to everyone. You do not need to be a U.S. Cellular customer to attend.</p><p>“Thanks to our knowledgeable associates, U.S. Cellular is making the stress of the holidays melt away faster than ever,” said Mike Adams, U.S. Cellular’s director of sales for Iowa and Nebraska. “Along with our strong network, which allows users to continue to simplify their shopping and cooking to-do lists, and these informative workshops, a hassle-free holiday season is the perfect gift that everyone can enjoy.”</p><p>Please call 319-341-6050 for more information.</p> 2019-11-12 11:45:00 -060011/17/1911:00 a.m.U.S. CellularCoralville -

Raising anti-Racist White Kids: A Conversation for All of Us
<p>Dr. Jennifer Harvey, professor of religion at Drake University, will be at the Iowa City Public Library’s Storytime Room from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, to discuss her book, “Raising White Kids: Brining Up Children in the Racially Unjust America.”</p><p>We live in one of the most racially diverse societies in the world, but it’s plagued by inequity and injustice. Should parents teach white kids to be “colorblind” or should they teach them to notice race? How should adults address white privilege and discuss race without making children feel bad about being white?</p><p>Harvey will map the common problems relative to nurturing anti-racist white identity. These issues impacts adults of every racial group in the U.S. as much as they do young people. Whether you’ve been a white kid, are helping raise white kids, or have children in your life who are friends with white kids, this reading and conversation is for you.</p> 2019-11-04 19:30:00 -0600

Cornell College Theatre Production: The Spitfire Grill
<p dir="ltr">By Fred Alley, James Valcq, and Lee David Zlotoff; directed by Caroline Price. A feisty parolee follows her dreams, based on a page from an old travel book, to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah's Spitfire Grill. It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and things are definitely cookin' at the Spitfire Grill.</p><p dir="ltr">From the New York Times: "A soul satisfying … work of theatrical resourcefulness. A compelling story that flows with grace and carries the rush of anticipation. The story moves, the characters have many dimensions and their transformations are plausible and moving. The musical is freeing. It is penetrated by honesty and it glows." </p>

Drumming for Healing at Prairiewoods
<p>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. We are invited to join facilitator Sheri Mealhouse (Hawkwoman) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on the second and fourth Monday of each month for a healing drum circle. As we prayerfully listen to other drummers in order to make music, the whole group becomes one! 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 is accepted at the door. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-02-15 19:00:00 -0600

Mindfulness for Families at Prairiewoods
<p>We continually look for creative ways to bring awareness, compassion, kindness, peace and tranquility into our homes. These monthly opportunities at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) are for parents and children from kindergarten through grade 12 to attend together. We will focus on simple, mindful practices to create peaceful awareness in the parent, child and home. Facilitators Kim Seward, BSN, RN, CMI (Certified Mindfulness Instructor), and Ann Jackson, PBVM, will guide us to explore and engage fun mindfulness activities to do together as a family. Practicing foundational aspects of mindful awareness—noticing senses, emotions and thoughts in fun and practical ways—will cultivate awareness, a greater understanding of emotions, kindness and compassion in all relationships, especially the parent-child relationship. As parents and children attend these sessions together, they will build a comprehensive mindfulness toolkit to use for future family enjoyment. Monthly themes include Foundation of Breath (Sunday, Sept. 15, 3–4:30 p.m.), Awareness and Presence (Monday, Oct. 21, 6–7:30 p.m.), Gratitude and Kindness (Sunday, Nov. 17, 3–4:30 p.m.) and Emotions (Monday, Dec. 16, 6–7:30 p.m.). Some activities will occur outside, so please dress accordingly. The cost is $20 per family for each session. Some financial assistance is available. Each session is limited to 30 total parents and children, and registration is required by the previous Monday. (Please include the total number and ages of participants at registration.) For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700</p> 2019-10-17 19:30:00 -0500
