Animating Active Hope at Prairiewoods: Healing Our Divides
<p>These times confront us with realities that are painful, difficult and confusing. How could we begin to launch an amazing journey together that strengthens, deepens and activates our hope? Join facilitators Ann Jackson, PBVM; August Stolba and Laura A. Weber, Ph.D., at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on four Thursdays (Sept. 15, Sept. 29, Oct. 13 & Nov. 3). Together we will co-inspire one another to find, offer and activate hope in service to the world. We will reflect on: Gratitude (what’s going right with the world), Grief (honoring pain in the world), Vision (seeing and sensing with new awareness and understanding) and Active Hope (activating hope locally and globally). Please feel free to attend any one or more of these sessions. The cost is $25 per session and includes lunch. Please register for each session you plan to attend. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-10-13 13:00:00 -0500

Walk with an Eco-Ologist at Prairiewoods: Dendrology
<p>Join us on the second Tuesday of each month as we Walk with an Eco-Ologist at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha)! Each program will give you the opportunity to learn from a local ‘ologist and dive deeper into specific topics within the field of ecology. Come prepared to walk our trails and, depending on the topic, get a little dirty to get better acquainted with some of our plant and animal kin. We are excited to offer seven programs on the following topics: raptology (birds of prey), agronomy (farming), lepidopterology (butterflies and moths), wild ethnobotany (wild edibles and medicines), ornithology (birds), entomology (bugs) and dendrology (trees). On Oct. 11, join arborist Nick McGrath, east central Iowa field coordinator for Trees Forever, as we admire our arbor elders. Nick will help us identify different types of trees while also helping us understand their value and importance to not just us but also our greater ecological environment. Closed-toe shoes and long pants are recommended. If you have binoculars, a camera with zoom or a dichotomous key, feel free to bring them. A free-will offering will be accepted, and registration is required. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-08-14 18:00:00 -0500

Afternoon Nature & Forest Therapy Experience at Prairiewoods
<p>We invite you to join the land at Prairiewoods and certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Emelia Sautter for a walk with the natural world. Experience Forest Therapy, a sensory-focused practice that invites us to slow down and be present with self and the natural world around us. According to the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, “Forest Therapy is a practice that supports health and wellness through guided immersion in forests and other environments to promote the well-being of both people and the land. It is inspired by <em>shinrin yoku,</em> the Japanese practice of ‘Forest Bathing.’” Much research has been done on the healing and therapeutic benefits of Forest Therapy. Hundreds of clinical and non-clinical studies show numerous positive effects, including reductions in stress, anxiety, depression, mental fatigue, anger and pain. Improvements include better cognitive functioning, sleep, mood, confidence and creativity. Time with our nature kin also boosts our immune system, regulates blood pressure, improves relationships, increases feelings of gratitude and much more. Please bring a water bottle and dress for being outdoors. The cost is $15, and registration is required by the previous day. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-08-08 15:45:00 -0500

Jack SPLAT
<p><strong>Don’t toss your Jack-O-Lanterns in the garbage—let us toss them from up high instead!</strong> Presented by the GEICO Philanthropic Foundation, this free outdoor event gives your carved creations one last hurrah for the Halloween season.</p><p>We will be throwing the pumpkins off the northwest corner of the parking ramp next to <a href="https://www.icgov.org/chauncey-swan-park">Chauncey Swan Park</a>. Drop off your ghoulish gourd and set up your blanket or lawn chairs nearby to get the best view. Come for the SPLATS, but stay for outdoor activities, jokes from Pete the Turtle, and treats from New Pioneer Co-op. Our friends from the Iowa City Public Library will also be there with fun activities and their bookmobile. </p><p>Come watch the high-flying fun and enjoy a fall morning in the park!</p> 2022-09-23 11:30:00 -0500

BOO AT THE BARN
<p>It will be a Spooky Halloween celebration at the Miracles in Motion Farm, a 76-acre spread located two miles west of Swisher (exit 10 off Interstate 380). Kids and adults alike will enjoy lots of Spooktacular fun with the Miracles’ team and their miraculous herd of horses. Activities will include games, treats, and other fun. </p><p>Wear your Halloween costume - some of our horses will be wearing theirs, too! In addition to fun, games and treats, kids will have the opportunity to meet our horses up close and personal. The herd will be walking in a Horse Costume Parade again this year.</p><p>Our committee in charge of scary Halloween has cooked up some great plans. The Halloween barn will be ready and so will we! We also welcome anyone who is interested in volunteering or learning more about participation in our therapeutic-riding programs.</p> 2022-09-30 15:30:00 -050010/15/2212:00 p.m.Miracles in Motion Therapeutic Equestrian CenterSwisher
