Full Moon Nature & Forest Therapy Walk at Prairiewoods
<p>We invite you to join the land at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) and certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Emelia Sautter for a walk with the natural world during the beauty of a full moon. 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 $20, 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> 2022-12-10 20:00:00 -06002/04/236:00 p.m.Prairiewoods Franciscan Spirituality CenterHiawatha -

Winterland’s 200th show at the Ideal Theater and Bar
<p><span style="font-size: 14px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Iowa's favorite Grateful Dead tribute band!</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size: 14px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">-----Event Description-----</span></p><p>Specializing in the Grateful Dead’s catalog and sound from 1969 through the late 1970s, Winterland pulls you back in time to a place where the Dead’s rhythm and blues, folk and country roots were still deeply embedded in their music even as they explored the wild and experimental outer reaches of psychedelic rock. </p><p><br></p><p>More importantly, though, Winterland channels the music of the Grateful Dead with uncanny authenticity, a sublime fidelity to the Dead’s musicianship, tonality and, in particular, emotional relationship with the audience. Walk into any given Winterland show and witness firsthand: every face is radiant, reflecting the elation of sharing — with the band and with each other — the pure, innovative, beautifully complex music of the Dead. </p><p><br></p><p>This interconnectedness, which breaks down the barriers between people and music and allows everyone to become collaborators in an elusive web of fleeting, living art, represents an essential unity of musical experience. In other words, what Winterland has attained has proven to be a microcosm of the feat that the Grateful Dead of the late ‘60s to the late ‘70s achieved and escalated to a full-fledged cultural phenomenon. It is a thing of subtle and wily magic, not to be missed.</p> 2023-01-26 11:00:00 -06002/25/238:00 a.m.Ideal Theater and BarCedar Rapids -

Roadkill Confidential
<p>Sheila Callaghan's <em>Roadkill Confidential </em>is a wild ride on at least two different paths. It is a comic parody of the noir thriller that is also a deeply serious query into the limits of art. As much an installation as a play, energetic and full of surprises, it is just as provocative as it is funny.</p><p>For tickets, go to <a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.coe.edu/box-office" href="http://www.coe.edu/box-office">www.coe.edu/box-office</a> or call the Coe College Box Office at 319.399.8600. $15 General admission; $10 non-Coe students & seniors 55 and older. Free to Coe College faculty, staff and students with college ID.</p> 2022-08-29 16:00:00 -05004/16/232:00 p.m.Coe College, Dows Fine Arts Center, Dows TheaterCedar Rapids -
