Afternoon Nature & Forest Therapy Walk 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> 2021-10-09 15:45:00 -0500

Personalize your experience by joining us live and in-person at Lion Bridge Brewing... or at home from your couch!</strong></p><p><em>About the Show: </em>Jerry Gorman is a regular guy from Passaic, New Jersey who just wants to fly. The neighbors think he’s nutty and his mother disapproves. But his girlfriend Gracie believes in him. Loosely based on a true story, Jerry soars to 16,000 feet with nothing but a lawnchair and 400 helium balloons. FLIGHT OF THE LAWNCHAIR MAN is a musical that reminds us that dreams can come true if you believe in yourself.</p><p>Cedar Rapids Opera strives to create an environment that is welcoming and safe for all, and that's why we've come up with two ways to enjoy this event according to your comfort level. Read on for details!</p><p><strong>Enjoy at Lion Bridge Brewing</strong></p><p>For an in-person experience, join us as at Lion Bridge Brewing for a brewer-guided tasting of five delicious beers and screening<strong> </strong>with your fellow CROpera friends, including some of your favorite cast members!</p><p><strong>Enjoy at Home</strong></p><p>More comfortable snuggling in to watch the show from home? No problem! Register at Eventbrite to receive a self-guided beer tasting and a link to the screening right from your own computer, smart TV, or personal device.

I still want that beer flight and pretzel bites! Luckily for me, I can pick up my to-go food and beverage from Lion Bridge (complete with a tasting guide and program notes!), then head home to catch the show. Ticket includes link to 7:30 PM digital screening, a to-go 4-beer flight tasting, and pretzel bites with beer cheese and mustard: $20</p><p><em>AT HOME/SCREENING ONLY:</em> I just want to be transported by this charming, quirky musical from the comfort of my own home.
