Healing Communities with the Labyrinth at Prairiewoods
<p>Communities need help healing when disasters, emergencies or traumas strike. Join Ellen Bintz Meuch, founder of The Global Healing Response, and Marion Patterson as they guide us along the path of healing with a labyrinth. Labyrinths, walking paths for meditation and prayer, are found throughout the world and have been used for centuries for prayer and discernment. During this event at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha), we will learn about the science behind unified intention; walk the labyrinth multiple times to send amplified, compassionate energy into our community; and process between walks to focus our energy. The labyrinth will help us dig deeper into discerning what our community needs for healing and how we can better facilitate that healing together. All are welcome, from labyrinth enthusiasts to first-timers. Registration is required by April 24. The cost is $45 and includes lunch. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-02-15 16:00:00 -0600
