For a portion of the call, we will be invited to participate in an optional activist component where we can write or call our state representative and/or senator to inform them of our ideas about the Lifer Review Bill that improves the fairness and process for people serving life without parole to be reviewed for release.</p><p>Saturday morning, Dec. 5, 10–11:30 a.m. Song sharing and listening. We are invited to bring a song or poem that is meaningful to us. We will listen and share reflections with one another in small breakout rooms.</p><p>Saturday afternoon, Dec. 5, 2–3:30 p.m. Yoga nidra, journal and listen. Yoga nidra is a guided resting practice.

Saturday Soul-Stretch for Lovers of Embodied Spirituality at Prairiewoods
<p>Wake up! Wake up! The weekend is here. Saturday Soul Stretch will get us out of bed and back into our full-spectrum humanity. Join facilitator Laura Weber from Prairiewoods online to de-stress, reconnect and sink deeply into the present moment. The day includes gentle tai chi movement, a sitting meditation to foster deep relaxation, and a whole new realm of exploration with a different spiritual modality each month, such as dream work, journaling, mandalas, labyrinth, breath-exercise, sounding, centering prayer, poetry for the soul, singing bowl meditation or drumming. To cap off the morning’s spiritual workout via Zoom, we’ll be invited to enjoy a mindfulness walk out in the beauty of Prairiewoods or our own neighborhoods. The cost of this online retreat day is $25. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2018-01-09 13:00:00 -0600
