Join us as we link our movements with our breath and cultivate strength, flexibility and relaxation through regular hatha-style yoga classes. RYT-200 Hour Certified Yoga Alliance Instructors Carla Brems and Heather English offer Gentle/Beginner’s Yoga (Mondays and Thursdays from 9:30–10:30 a.m.). People of all fitness levels and abilities are encouraged to participate whenever available. Carla Brems enjoys teaching hatha-style yoga so that all feel welcome and safe to appreciate and enjoy the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that yoga can bring. Heather English began practicing yoga for the mental health benefits and became a yoga instructor in order to share these amazing benefits with others. Heather is inspired by the potential that a regular yoga practice has for impacting so many areas of life. In fact, it was her yoga training that motivated her to begin crafting as a career, to share her crafting with others, and to regularly explore the intersection of yoga and creativity. Let’s see how Carla and Heather can help us benefit from yoga! Please plan to attend via Zoom from a quiet corner in your home or yard with your screen of choice! The cost is $60 for a 6-punch card or $99 for an 11-punch card.

Snowshoe Building Course - Sessions in October
<p>This fall, Linn County Conservation will again offer the opportunity for you to build a pair of traditional snowshoes. Naturalist Chuck Ungs will lead this popular program, where these sets are created for hiking, unique gifts, or even decorations. </p><p><strong>Participants should plan to attend the evening weaving sessions on Tuesday Oct. 6, 13 and 20. The evening classes will run from 6 - 9 p.m. at Wickiup Hill Learning Center. Attendance at all three lacing sessions is highly recommended for best results. </strong> Additional evenings will be needed to varnish the shoes at our Services Shop at 3173 Highway 13, Marion (corner of Highway 13 and County Home Road) in the days following snowshoe construction. For best results, a minimum of three to four of these evenings will be required to varnish the shoes properly. With some weaving time invested at home, the snowshoes should be finished by Oct. 29. </p><p><strong>Participants must register on-line and pay by Sept. 22, so kits can be ordered.</strong> The $225 class fee includes the cost of a snowshoe kit, a binding set, instruction and varnish for each participant. Registration is under Events at Linncountyparks.com. We will maintain social distancing and ask participants to wear masks and bring your own hand sani. For more details and questions about options, call Chuck at 319-892-6485. Kit building typically requires the manual dexterity of someone high school age or older. Class size is limited to 6. </p> 2020-09-03 21:00:00 -050010/06/206:00 p.m.Wickiup Hill Learning CenterToddville -

Join us online via Zoom for a celebration of our connection with animals, trees and all of Creation. Kids and animal companions (whether furry, winged, scaled or finned) are invited to join us for this free afternoon. At this year’s celebration, we’ll also launch <em>Outstretched Boughs, </em>a book of poetry and reflections on Prairiewoods’ trees. It was started as a labor of love by Prairiewoods friend Kathy Decker and foundress Betty Daugherty, FSPA. It has been completed in loving memory of both women. This 40-page, self-published gem features poems and photographs of the trees at Prairiewoods. It can be purchased now for $10 (plus $2 shipping, if applicable) by calling 319-395-6700. This afternoon will include poetry readings to honor trees that fell in the storm and celebrate those that are still standing. Please be ready with your screen of choice, your pets and your sense of wonder at the beauty of trees and all creation! To join the celebration, use the Zoom meeting link (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89742720267?pwd=OUN3SnB4Y2RBOTBzYVFndFd2dG9Vdz09). If prompted, enter meeting ID 897 4272 0267 and password 731481.

Seriously Funny: American Gothic Parodies
<p>Grant Wood’s <em>American Gothic</em> is probably the world’s most parodied American painting, second only to Leonardo’s <em>Mona Lisa</em>. The fact that thousands of parodies of <em>American Gothic</em> exist, dating back several decades, speaks to the enduring inspiration of one of America’s greatest works of art. This exhibition—a first for the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art—will look at many of these parodies—some in the flesh on the gallery’s walls and many others digitally projected in an attempt to share the incredible reach of this iconic painting. From Bill and Hillary Clinton to Leonardo and Mona Lisa to RuPaul as male and female, these parodies speak to how this one painting serves as the basis for looking at various contemporary people and issues. Wood’s impactful 1930 painting continues to inspire “artists” of all ages and skills in a playful and humorous way that Wood would no doubt have applauded.</p> 2020-09-30 16:00:00 -0500
