Freedom Through Hypnotherapy

By replacing negativity with empowering, positive beliefs and statements, you will be free to achieve the success and happiness in your life that you so richly deserve.

Summer Mindfulness Meditation Retreat Day at Prairiewoods
<p>In <em>Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life,</em> Jon Kabat-Zinn writes, “When we can be centered in ourselves, even for brief periods of time in the face of the pull of the outer world, not having to look elsewhere for something to fill us up or make us happy, we can be at home wherever we find ourselves, at peace with things as they are, moment by moment.” Mindfulness is the power of mind to be deeply aware of what’s happening—without commentary or interference. Research reveals numerous benefits to our nervous systems, emotions and general sense of well-being. During this silent retreat day at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha), facilitator Chris Klug will guide us to practice mindfulness in silence through sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful movement and mindful eating. It is open to all, so feel free to attend whether you are new to mindfulness or practice regularly. Chris, a grief counselor and mindfulness teacher, has been an instructor in the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics since 2001. Please bring your own lunch. The cost is $25. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-06-30 15:00:00 -0500

World Wednesday: Greek Mosaic Art
<p>This year's Summer Reading Program theme is "A Universe of Stories." One way we can discover new stories around the world (and beyond) is to encourage cultural literacy. On Wednesdays, join us for an activity that will help us learn and understand something new about different world cultures.</p><p>One of the lasting artistic legacies from the ancient Greeks is the art of the mosaic. A mosaic is a picture made up of small pieces of glass, pottery, or small tiles. Thousands of small pieces of colored tiles are placed together so that all together they make up a picture. Often depicting pagan gods, people and animals, the Ancient Greeks were the first to use what is known today as tesserae or the many small pieces of marble, glass, or tile that comprise a mosaic artwork. This Wednesday everyone will have the chance to create their own mosaics in the style of Greek mosaic tradition!</p> 2019-07-09 14:00:00 -0500
