Treasuring Our Trees, Part 2
<p>Did you participate in our Oct. 25 online event <em>Treasuring Our Trees: Cedar Rapids & Surrounding Areas Following the Derecho</em>? If so, you know how powerful the experience of gathering together on behalf of our fallen trees was for our communal psyche. We began the long process of grieving and healing following the decimation of our trees from the Aug. 10 derecho. An area-wide memorial afforded us the opportunity to honor, celebrate, give thanks and remember our revered arbor-elders through ritual, poetry, prayer and song. During the wintering months, we continue the journey of healing by going deeper, listening, doing the hard interior work of reflection and healing, while learning about ongoing care for creation and planning for the future. Throughout the week of Jan. 25–29, we will offer a series of 40-minute Zoom sessions to help us learn from the trees how to plunge deeper, to renew ourselves spiritually from the battering that has been 2020, and to learn how to care for the remaining wildlife habitat, stumps, logs, hollowed out soil, water and air that have been affected by the derecho, and also how to plan for spring planting when the time is ripe. Times and topics are to be determined, so watch www.Prairiewoods.org for opportunities to log onto your favorite sessions and make the most of the dormancy of winter! In caring for our trees, together we can learn the art of communal healing and co-creating a bright future. This online program via Zoom is free and is co-sponsored by Prairiewoods, Trees Forever, Indian Creek Nature Center, Cornell College Chaplain & Spiritual Life, Winding Pathways, People’s Unitarian Universalist Church and Coe College. You do not need to have attended Part 1 in October to join us for this session. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p>

Active Hope: Answering Earth’s Call for Transformative Healing & Loving Action Retreat with Prairiewoods
<p>As Joanna Macy writes, “Active Hope is not wishful thinking. Active Hope is waking up to the beauty of life on whose behalf we can act. We belong to this world. The web of life is calling us forth at this time and we are here to play our part. Active Hope is a readiness to discover the strengths in ourselves and in others; a readiness to discover the reasons for hope and the occasions for love.” In this online retreat via Zoom, we will move through the spiral of The Work That Reconnects with the understanding that Earth is calling us to engage in transformative healing and loving action during these challenging times. Through our exploration, we will cultivate and strengthen our resilience to engage with COVID-19, the climate crisis, racial and environmental injustice, and overall anxiety in our lives. Joanna Macy–protege and Active Hope aficionada Kathleen Rude, author of the eco-mystical novel <em>The Redemption of Red Fire Woman</em>, will facilitate this 24-hour retreat. We will spend time online in community and offline in self-reflection (with time outside, if we’re able) to receive inspiration and healing for our weary, overwhelmed hearts and souls. In supportive and trustworthy space, we will honor our pain for the world, reconnect to active hope, and find clarity around how we can play a part in the healing of our communities and our beautiful planet. This online retreat is designed with lots of breaks, offline exercises and a lunch break. The workshop is highly interactive with ritual and sharing in pairs, small groups and full group conversations. It includes experiential practices, inspirational readings, singing and simple rituals. It’s engaging and invigorating and gives us tools for dealing with the challenges of living in difficult times. The cost of this online retreat is $150. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p>

She financed her drama education with loans secured by a “lifetime services contract.” If she defaults, her creditors will control every aspect of her life. Behind on her payments and facing foreclosure, Kira reluctantly accepts a large signing bonus to become a corporate gunfighter for TKC Insurance. After a year of training, she will take her place on the dueling fields that have become the final, lethal stop in the American legal system.</p><p>Putting her MFA in acting to work, Kira takes on the persona of a cold, intimidating gunslinger known as “Death’s Angel.” But just as she becomes the most feared gunfighter in TKC’s stable, she’s severely wounded during a duel on live video, shattering her aura of invincibility. A series of devastating setbacks follow, forcing Kira to face the truth about her life and what she’s become.</p><p>When the opportunity to fight another professional for a huge purse arises, Kira sees it as a chance to buy a new life . . . or die trying.</p><p>Structured around a chilling duel, Corporate Gunslinger is a modern satire that forces us to confront the growing inequalities in our society and our penchant for guns and bloodshed, as well as offering a visceral look at where we may be heading—far sooner than we know.</p><p><strong><u>About Doug Engstrom</u></strong><br>Doug Engstrom has been a farmer's son, a US Air Force officer, a technical writer, a computer support specialist, and a business analyst, as well as being a writer of speculative fiction.

Growlers: Reactive Dog Obedience
<p>This obedience class is smaller in size and designed for dogs that are aggressive both on and off leash. If you feel your dog is aggressive, overanxious, hard to handle in most situations, has bitten or may bite, then this is the obedience class for you. If you feel your dog meets the above criteria, then successful completion of this course is required before taking Dog Obedience I. This course sets up scenarios for owners to learn how to handle situations in which their dog may be reactive. Not all dogs will finish this course and be 'cured' of their reactivity, and the course is mostly focused on teaching owners/handlers how to handle certain situations that may arise with their pets. Students should bring vaccination records on the first night of class. Please do not bring your dog to the first class. Registration is required prior to the class start date. If you have questions or would like to register, please visit www.kirkwood.edu/ce or contact 319-398-1022.</p> 2021-01-14 20:00:00 -06003/22/216:00 p.m.Cedar Rapids Animal Care and ControlCedar Rapids -
