Men Exploring Faith at Prairiewoods
<p>Behavioral scientists and spiritual guides have noted a major transformation in the life direction of many men as we mature. It may happen gradually or abruptly, as early as our 20s or in our 50s or 60s. Some men never make this shift, described as a change from goal drivenness to receptivity, from ego to wisdom. The transition can start from the inside <em>(Why am I doing what I’m doing?)</em> or the outside (from a loss or threat), and it may seem disruptive while on the way to being life-enhancing. Join with a small group of reflective men at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) in honest conversation about these changes. This group meets the second and fourth Thursdays of each month and is facilitated by Linzy Martin. A free-will offering is accepted, and registration is not necessary. For more information, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-06-22 17:30:00 -0500
