The Wisdom of the Celts Prayer Writing Series at Prairiewoods
<p>Both John Philip Newell and John O’Donohue share their own rootedness in the spirituality of the Celtic peoples.

We will journey with them by viewing podcasts, using excerpts of their work and writing our own prayers. Be prepared to be refreshed in spirit through this brief journey with the ancient Celts! This series at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) is facilitated by Betty Daugherty, FSPA, and Angie Pierce Jennings (mornings only).

Artisan Bread Basics Series
<p>Sourdough is known for its characteristic flavor ranging from mild to strong, chewy texture, and crisp crust. Compared to standard loaves, sourdough is easier to digest due to the naturally occurring acids and long fermentation time. This series will cover all the basics of how to bake delicious artisanal sourdough bread in your own home. We will start with the baking process and, working backwards through the process, we will add in a new element each class: baking, shaping, mixing and rising, and fermentation. Not only will you learn the process of making sourdough, but also the science behind what makes sourdough an artisanal treat. Classes include: Artisan Bread Basics: The Baking Process, Artisan Bread Basics: Professional Shaping, Artisan Bread Basics: Mixing and Rising, and Artisan Bread Basics: Fermentation and Starters.</p><ul><li>Registration is required prior to the class start date.

Forest Bathing: Dreams and Journeys
<p>Treat yourself to a walk in the woods.</p><p><br></p><p>Do you need more than a short vacation from the bustle of fast-paced life? The constant daily flurry may cause you to forget how to slow down, enjoy precious moments, and quiet your running mind.</p><p><br></p><p>Forest bathing is a restorative, joyful practice that is scientifically proven to enhance wellness, reduce stress, improve concentration, boost your immune system, sharpen senses and deepen your relationship with nature. It will help you remember how to view, with child-like wonder, the beauty of each moment.</p><p><br></p><p>Enjoy the forest and see it change throughout the year. You will walk along trails of Hickory Hill Park in a slow, relaxed way that helps you learn to still your mind and enjoy the present moment. Each class has a different focus, intermixing playful, exploratory activities during the delightful stroll. Lessons about plants, birds, insects and the ecological health of forests will be woven into each walk.</p><p><br></p><p>You should be comfortable walking on uneven terrain. Dress appropriately for the weather and for sitting in the woods. Small sitting mats will be provided. Please bring items for your comfort: water bottle, insect repellent, hat, long pants, walking stick, full-length mat or portable chair. If desired, bring materials for sketching or writing. We recommend walking without electronic devices.</p><p><br></p><p>Please register soon: Classes are limited to 15 people and are expected to fill quickly.</p><p><br></p><p>DATES AND FOCUS</p><p>Saturdays: 9:30 am - 11:30 am.</p><p><br></p><p>Each walk has a specific focus.</p><p><br></p><p>Oct 19: Dreams and Journeys</p><p>Meditate in the woods with a specific intention and listen to guidance from the land.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>REGISTER FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES</p><p>Register for all 7 classes: <a href="https://apm.activecommunities.com/iowacityrecreation/Activity_Search/forest-bathing-mindful-walks-in-the-woods/11173?fbclid=IwAR2hgwqODaJph4YSIu2i9Z3fiXsCtZ0EdDj1YmWQho-1RkUKPoSmtEPesk8" target="_blank">https://apm.activecommunities.com/iowacityrecreation/Activity_Search/forest-bathing-mindful-walks-in-the-woods/11173</a></p><p>Fee for all classes: $115</p><p>Save $3.50 per class.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>REGISTER FOR INDIVIDUAL CLASSES</p><p>Fee for individual classes: $20</p><p><br></p><p>Register at the Iowa City Parks and Recreation website.</p><p><br></p><p>Oct 19: Dreams and Journeys</p><p><a href="https://apm.activecommunities.com/iowacityrecreation/Activity_Search/forest-bathing-dreams-and-journeys/11144?fbclid=IwAR3e6jDk75hxTCp8VBUZUnRAUfss0OBAlgZtPuIdQJbzENQQrb2rSgCoFbs" target="_blank">https://apm.activecommunities.com/iowacityrecreation/Activity_Search/forest-bathing-dreams-and-journeys/11144</a></p><p><br></p><p>LOCATION</p><p>We meet at the parking lot off Bloomington Street on the south side of Hickory Hill Park.</p><p><br></p><p>GUIDE</p><p>Walks are guided by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fred.meyer.007" target="_blank">Fred Meyer</a>, master gardener, master conservationist, master woodland manager and permaculture designer at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BackyardAbundance/" target="_blank">Backyard Abundance</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Hosted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BackyardAbundance/" target="_blank">Backyard Abundance</a> in collaboration with the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ICParksandRec/" target="_blank">Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Endorsed by the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HealthiestIowa/" target="_blank">Healthiest State Initiative</a>.</p> 2019-04-09 11:30:00 -0500

Grant Wood Revealed: Rarely Seen Works by an American Master
<p>Rounding out our anniversary year will be an unusual look at arguably Iowa’s most important artist, Grant Wood. While known for his iconic <em>American Gothic</em> (Art Institute of Chicago) and other Regionalist works from his mature style, Grant Wood was constantly exploring styles, techniques, and media. This exhibition will bring together works from both the CRMA collection as well as from private collections to celebrate Wood’s inquisitive mind. Rarely seen paintings will be joined with diverse metalwork pieces, drawings, and studies to construct a fuller view of Wood’s genius.</p> 2020-12-23 16:00:00 -0600
