Angst: Screening & Discussion
<p>Tanager Place is holding a special screening of the IndieFlix documentary “Angst” to open up a dialogue between local families, community leaders and experts.</p><p>This event will feature a viewing of the 56-minute film, followed by optional guided community conversations led by Tanager Place experts. Although the event is free and open to all, auditorium seating is limited to 200.</p><p>Part of the beauty of this film is the openness of the children and young adults featured; for some of them, the “Angst” project marks the first time they are publicly sharing their experiences with anxiety. Our hope is that their candidness and bravery will inspire our community to do this same.</p><p>Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health challenge in the U.S., impacting 54 percent of females and 46 percent of males, with age seven being the median age of onset, according to the World Health Organization. While anxiety disorders are highly treatable, only one-third of those suffering receive treatment.</p><p>While “Angst” documents the struggles some people have with anxiety, it also reveals their hope for the future. Noah, a teenager in the film, describes it this way: “Anxiety doesn’t define me. It’s not just a curse; it also gives me strength.”</p><p>Everyone involved in the development of “Angst” has a personal experience with anxiety — from producers to interviewees.</p><p>“I welcomed the opportunity to be a part of ‘Angst’ to further the dialogue around mental health and to help people understand the impact anxiety has on our mental state and encourage people, especially kids, to ask for help,” said Michael Phelps, an Olympic swimmer who appears in the film.</p><p>Caregivers and children are encouraged to attend this event. The film is recommended for age 10 and up.</p> 2019-10-25 20:00:00 -0500

Fall Root Medicine Series: Digging Deeper into Winter Health at Prairiewoods
<p>Maintaining positive feelings and health as the seasons change creates an opportunity to examine our individual health needs and the specific remedies that herbal medicine can provide. This hands-on workshop at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) will be facilitated by Trilby Sedlacek, RH (AHG). She will guide us as a group to explore the challenges that cold weather presents, learn plants as medicine and make some specific formulas based on the group’s needs. Also important is learning how to connect with the energy of specific plants. We will learn how to meditate with a plant and how to decipher the messages the plants are giving us directly, called “the doctrine of signatures.” Trilby Sedlacek is a registered herbalist with 30 years of experience in plant medicine. The cost is $40. Please register and pay by Dec. 6. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-10-17 20:00:00 -0500

Our Woodland Legacy Symposium
<p>Trees Forever, the City of Cedar Rapids and the Holloway Environmental Trust announce Dr. George Hess with North Carolina State University’s Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources will be the keynote speaker at Our Woodland Legacy Symposium.</p><p><br></p><p>The symposium is on Thursday, December 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Cedar Rapids Country Club, located at 550 27th St. Dr. SE.</p><p>This event brings together municipal and county leaders, business leaders, educators, engineers, developers, planners, architects, conservationists and activist citizens. Together we explore sustainable community development, considering the impact of trees and other green infrastructure on our local communities’ livability, economy, wellness, and our children’s ability to learn and thrive. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Keynote Speech: Bringing Open Spaces to our Urban Lives</strong></p><h5>George Hess, Ph.D., North Carolina State Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources</h5><p>Natural areas and green spaces in cities support healthy cultures, people, and environments. Our challenge is to reach “beyond the choir” and connect the dots in compelling and inclusive ways that bring everyone on board with the need to conserve nature in the city. Why? Because green spaces help protect clean water and natural habitats, provide opportunities for local farms and food, connect people with nature, and support public health and economic vitality. Dr. Hess will summarize research that supports these benefits, share initiatives that spread the message of conservation to the non-conservation communities, and review practices that make it work. </p><p><br></p> 2019-11-27 16:00:00 -0600

Thursday Forum - The Golden Age of Neuroscience: Understanding Addiction, Stress, and Brain Disorders
<p>Researchers have learned more about the brain in the last decade than in centuries of study, ushering in a golden age of neuroscience. Yet, a better understanding of the brain is still desperately needed in order to develop effective treatments for neurological disorders, one of the greatest threats to public health. How do we go about understanding the nervous system—the most complex organ system in the human body—and a range of neural processes like addiction, stress, and brain disorders? This forum, led by faculty from Coe’s biology and psychology departments, will provide an introduction to neuroscience and exciting developments in this dynamic field. Following week one’s introduction to the field and its history, week two’s session led by Professor of Psychology Michael Baker will explore addiction and the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms that play a role in the compulsive behaviors associated with it. In the third session, Associate Professor of Biology David Lo will explain the biological process of stress, the myriad ways stress impacts our health, and techniques for managing stress. The final session, led by Associate Professor of Biology Paul Storer, will explain the mechanisms that lead to brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis and explore the modern treatments that may ameliorate such brain disorders.</p> 2019-10-01 11:30:00 -05002/06/208:45 a.m.Coe College, Hickok Hall, Kesler Lecture HallCedar Rapids -
