What I Stand for Is What I Stand On: A Retreat on Wendell Berry at Prairiewoods

Our time together will include talks, discussion, silence and contemplative time outdoors. The commuter fee for this one-day retreat is $150 and includes sessions and all Saturday meals. (You may choose to pay an additional $55 to stay overnight Saturday, including Sunday breakfast.)

Ignatius at 2020 Retreat at Prairiewoods
<p>Ignatius of Loyola was both a mystic with a powerful vision of the interconnectedness of humanity with all other creatures and also a practical man of his time and place. He was the inventor of the modern university and the visionary founder of the Jesuits. Because of his special interest in personal and social transformation, we at Prairiewoods are including him in our series of retreats featuring cosmic visionaries of the past and what they have to teach us about our pilgrimage on planet Earth today. Join facilitator Father Dennis Hamm, SJ, at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) as we work with forms of meditation, contemplation and discernment inspired by Ignatius’ methods in the latter’s Spiritual Exercises. Dennis will give special attention to the spirituality of Pope Francis as articulated in his eco-encyclical, <em>Laudato Si’: On Care for our Common Home, </em>in response to the cry of Earth and the cry of the poor. The cost of this weekend retreat is $230 and includes sessions, lodging and all meals. The commuter fee is $180 and includes sessions, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p>
