Prayer Experience Series: Contemplative Experience at Prairiewoods
<p>Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) is pleased to announce a new ongoing series focused on a group prayer experience that is open to all. In October, facilitator Betty Daugherty, FSPA, will help us experience contemplation, which is both an ancient and new tradition in our search of the Holy One. In contemplation we stop our doing and learn to be; we enter into communion with the God beyond words and with our own deepest essence. We will experience the power of being in contemplation with others and sending peace and love into the brokenness of our world. Feel free to enjoy this as a series or as individual sessions. A free-will offering will be accepted, and registration is appreciated but not required. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-10-16 12:00:00 -0500
