Grant Wood Revealed: Rarely Seen Works by an American Master
<p>Launching the CRMA's year-long celebration of the 175th anniversary of Iowa's statehood will be an unusual look at Iowa’s most famous artist, Grant Wood. While known for his iconic American Gothic (Art Institute of Chicago) and other Regionalist works from his mature style, Grant Wood was constantly exploring styles, techniques, and media. This exhibition will bring together works from both the CRMA collection as well as from private collections to celebrate Wood’s inquisitive mind. Rarely-seen paintings will be joined by diverse metalwork pieces, drawings, and studies to construct a fuller view of Wood’s genius.</p> 2021-02-28 16:00:00 -0600

Deep Peace: Cultivating Nonviolence with Prairiewoods
<p>Practicing a spirituality of nonviolence has often been portrayed in the lives of extraordinary, spiritual leaders who considered themselves ordinary people: Rosa Parks, Gandhi, Malala Yousafzai, Dennis Banks, Martin Luther King, Wangari Matthai … These icons of peace echo a lifelong invitation to us—to teach ourselves how to live nonviolently in widening circles that build communities of peace. Join Prairiewoods and facilitator Ann Jackson, PBVM, for these four sessions via Zoom (March 9–30). We will meditate, reflect, discuss and enact spiritual practices to learn to extend nonviolence toward self, nonviolence toward all others, and participation in global, grassroots movements of nonviolence. Each session will offer reflection, silent meditation, spiritual practices and conversation to illumine how we may deepen our conviction to live peace. The cost is $20 per session or $75 for the four-week series if paid in advance. For more information or to register for the Zoom link, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2021-03-09 19:00:00 -0600

President’s Lecture: Leisure, Learning, and Happiness
<p>Join Dr. Zena Hitz as she explores how we conceptualize learning, success, and fulfillment. We often think of learning in terms of concrete goals: to get a degree, job, income, comfort, and stability for ourselves and for our families. This is an important part of learning, but not the focal point. Liberal learning is for freedom—in failure as well as success. In freedom, we are someone—someone kind, generous, thoughtful, or wise. We have to cultivate leisure whatever our path in life, so that the short view of our achievement doesn’t obscure the long view of our fulfillment.</p><p>RSVP today for the Zoom link via Email at <a href="mailto:president@mtmercy.edu">president@mtmercy.edu</a></p>

Embracing Struggle Retreat: Walking in Hope with Teilhard de Chardin
<p>The call to embrace struggle is not an act of resignation but a commitment to life in its fullness. In this one-day retreat via Zoom with Prairiewoods, we walk with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin—Jesuit, scientist and mystic. With him, we explore the powerful imagery found in his essay “The Spiritual Power of Matter,” consider the way he faced his life struggles—especially those related to the Church and to the World—and prayerfully reflect on their relevance to our own life experiences and present situations. This online retreat via Zoom includes time for prayer, input, reflection, contemplative dialogue and sharing and is facilitated by Kathleen Duffy, SSJ, Ph.D. Sister Kathleen is professor emerita of physics and director of the Institute for Religion and Science at Chestnut Hill College. She is president of the American Teilhard Association and associate editor of Teilhard Studies, and she serves on the advisory board of Cosmos and Creation. Her present research deals with the way Teilhard de Chardin’s religious writings connect with modern science. She has published several book chapters and articles on these topics, an edited volume of essays entitled Rediscovering Teilhard’s Fire (St. Joseph’s University Press, 2010), and two books: Teilhard’s Mysticism: Seeing the Inner Face of Evolution (Orbis Books, 2014) and Teilhard’s Struggle: Embracing the Work of Evolution (Orbis Books, 2019). Kathleen also guides evening, weekend and week-long retreats on topics related to Teilhard’s life and work. The cost of this retreat is $75. For more information or to register for the Zoom link, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2021-02-06 15:00:00 -0600

While known for his iconic American Gothic (Art Institute of Chicago) and other Regionalist works from his mature style, Grant Wood was constantly exploring styles, techniques, and media. This exhibition will bring together works from both the CRMA collection as well as from private collections to celebrate Wood’s inquisitive mind. Rarely-seen paintings will be joined by diverse metalwork pieces, drawings, and studies to construct a fuller view of Wood’s genius.</p> 2021-03-12 16:00:00 -0600
