Soul Care: Creative Arts Grief Support Group at Prairiewoods
<p>Take time to be with others in grief and engage the creative spark. Jamie Siela, LISW, and Julie Wehner, LMSW, M.Div, BCC, of Unity Point Hospice facilitate this monthly grief support group open to anyone grieving loss through death.

This support group is offered as a partnership between Prairiewoods and Unity Point Hospice. <em>Due to COVID-19, this group will meet outside behind the Center. Please wear a mask and respect social distancing.</em> It is free and includes all art supplies. Registration is required by the previous Friday.

Tuesdays with Thomas: Book/Article Discussion at Prairiewoods
<p>July 7 and 14, we will begin by discussing Thomas Berry's influential <em>The Dream of the Earth,</em> published in 1988. Berry "suggests that for planetary renewal we must break free of the ‘technological trance’ that drives a misguided dream of progress"—and that it is only in doing so that we can "foster mutually enhancing human-Earth relationships to heal our traumatized global biosystem” (Amazon.com). July 21 and 28, we will consider two recent articles (to be provided by email) comparing Berry's vision with evolving thoughts in a COVID-19 world of what our "new dream of Earth" could be. This series is facilitated by Jenifer Hanson and Laura Weber at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha). The cost of the four-week series is $30 plus the cost of the book. Our hope is to have you join us either in person or via Zoom. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2020-07-15 19:00:00 -0500

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. 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. Bring your own drum or use one of ours. <em>Due to COVID-19, this group will meet outside near the pond deck South of the Center. Please wear a mask and respect social distancing.</em> 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

July Silent Directed Retreat Reimagined
<p>Prairiewoods invites you to experience the healing energy of silence and spiritual deepening for a week-long retreat in the comfort of your own home. As a retreatant, you will be encouraged to create your own sacred space at home for prayer and reflection ahead of time. To help you host the silence wherever you find yourself these days, we will begin the retreat together to pray and to offer resources for creating and holding sacred space, quieting the self and going deeper. We will gather together for an Opening Prayer via Zoom on Sunday, July 12, at 5:30 p.m. and conclude similarly (via Zoom) with a Closing Prayer on Saturday, July 18, at 11:30 a.m. Each day we will offer an opportunity for contemplative prayer as a group (via Zoom). A trained spiritual director/companion will be happy to talk with you over the phone or via Zoom once daily to enter more deeply into the heart of your spiritual journey. If you have never experienced a week of silence to focus on the movement of the Spirit within, this may be an opportunity for you to come to the quiet and enter deeply into the stillness. This retreat is facilitated by Rev. Rose Blank; Ann Jackson, PBVM; Kim Seward, BSN, RN; and Lucille Winnike, FSPA. The cost of this weeklong retreat is $230 and includes daily spiritual direction and Zoom prayer sessions.
