Going Inward with Sounds & Vibrations at Prairiewoods
<p>Experience sound, stillness, gentle movement, playfulness and relaxation through the enigmatic vibrations of Himalayan and crystal singing bowls. During this hour at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha), Kathy Broghammer leads us in gentle movement through the song of bowls to connect with our inner selves. Sitting or lying on mats, we will listen and just be! Allowing the sounds and vibrations of the singing bowls to go inward, our souls will rest and we will be recreated! The cost is $10 per session. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2017-01-04 19:00:00 -0600

Legends & Folklore of Winter with Chad Lewis
<p>As Dickens wrote, the ghosts of Christmas are really the past, present and future, swirling around us in the dead of the year. They’re a reminder that we’re all haunted, all the time, by good ghosts and bad, and that they all have something to tell us. Winter may seem like a quiet time, but it is actually filled with bizarre tales and stories of cannibalistic spirits, Krampus the anti-Santa Claus, stories of little people, werewolves, witches, people being buried alive, and numerous other Holiday traditions for the darkest days of the year. Sip a cup of cocoa or cider and join us for chilling and mysterious folklore perfect for this time of year, sponsored in part by the Hiawatha Public Library.</p><p> </p><p>For over two decades Chad Lewis has traveled the back roads of the world in search of the strange and unusual. From tracking Vampires in Transylvania and searching for the elusive monster of Loch Ness to trailing the dangerous Tata Duende through remote villages of Belize and searching for ghosts in Ireland's castles, Chad has scoured the earth in search of the paranormal. Chad has been featured on the Discovery Channel's A Haunting, William Shatner's Weird or What, ABC's World's Scariest Places, Monsters and Mysteries in America, along with being a frequent contributor to Ripley's Believe it or Not Radio. With a Master's Degree in Psychology, Chad has authored over 20 books on the supernatural and extensively lectures on his fascinating findings. </p> 2019-08-26 20:00:00 -0500

This group is facilitated by Judith Edwards and now meets in the Center (not the Guest House). <em>Please note that Centering Prayer will not meet Dec. 24 in honor of Christmas. </em>A free-will offering is accepted, and registration is not necessary. For more information, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-10-17 19:00:00 -0500
