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! Come to Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) once a month to de-stress, reconnect and sink deeply into the present moment. A hot breakfast starts the day, followed by gentle tai chi movement and a sitting meditation to foster deep relaxation. Once we’re relaxed and engaged, we’ll sip aromatic tea and enter into a whole new realm of exploration with a different spiritual modality each month, such as working with dreams, journaling, mandalas, labyrinths, breath-exercise, sounding, centering prayer, poetry for the soul, singing bowl meditation or drumming. To cap off the morning’s spiritual workout, we’ll enjoy a mindfulness walk out in the beauty of Prairiewoods’ 70 acres of prairie grasses, trees, streams and gardens, with only the owls, squirrels, turkeys and deer as our companion-guides. Finally, we’ll return to the Center for a delicious lunch, and leave happy and refreshed! The cost is $50 and includes breakfast and lunch. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2018-01-09 13:00:00 -0600

Angst: Screening & Discussion
<p>Tanager Place is holding a special screening of the IndieFlix documentary “Angst” to open up a dialogue between local families, community leaders and experts.</p><p>This event will feature a viewing of the 56-minute film, followed by optional guided community conversations led by Tanager Place experts. Although the event is free and open to all, auditorium seating is limited to 200.</p><p>Part of the beauty of this film is the openness of the children and young adults featured; for some of them, the “Angst” project marks the first time they are publicly sharing their experiences with anxiety. Our hope is that their candidness and bravery will inspire our community to do this same.</p><p>Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health challenge in the U.S., impacting 54 percent of females and 46 percent of males, with age seven being the median age of onset, according to the World Health Organization. While anxiety disorders are highly treatable, only one-third of those suffering receive treatment.</p><p>While “Angst” documents the struggles some people have with anxiety, it also reveals their hope for the future.

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.

The Marshall Tucker Band with Pure Prairie League
<p>The Marshall Tucker Band came together as a young, hungry, and quite driven six-piece outfit in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1972, having duly baptized themselves with the name of a blind piano tuner after they found it inscribed on a key to their original rehearsal space — and they’ve been in tune with tearing it up on live stages both big and small all across the globe ever since. Plus, the band’s mighty music catalog, consisting of more than 20 studio albums and a score of live releases, has racked up multi-platinum album sales many times over in its wake. A typically rich MTB setlist is bubbling over with a healthy dose of indelible hits like the heartfelt singalong “Heard It in a Love Song,” the insistent pleading of “Can’t You See” (the signature tune of MTB’s late co-founding lead guitarist and then-principal songwriter Toy Caldwell), the testifying travelogue warning of “Fire on the Mountain,” the wanderlust gallop of “Long Hard Ride,” and the unquenchable yearning pitch of “Ramblin’,” to name but a few.</p><p>From their beginnings in mid-Sixties Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes to the present-day unit featuring founding member/pedal-steel innovator John David Call, veteran bassist Mike Reilly, propulsive drummer Scott Thompson and guitar ace Donnie Clark, <strong>Pure Prairie League</strong> continues to embellish the rich 43-year history of one of Country-Rock’s pioneering forces.</p><p>Their eponymous first album has been hailed as a “major early influence in the emerging popularity of Country-Rock music”. Their second effort, the multi-platinum “Bustin’ Out” brought us the Craig Fuller-penned classic “Amie”, along with other gems of the genre. With “Two Lane Highway”, nine more albums and countless shows, a legacy has been forged and enriched during the ‘70s and 80’s, highlighting contributions from several noteworthy members, including original co-founder George Ed Powell, Cincinnati’s legendary Goshorn Brothers, Country Hall of Famers Gary Burr and Vince Gill, award-winning writer Jeff Wilson (3 Top-20 singles) and a host of other guest appearances from Chet Atkins, Johnny Gimble, Emmy Lou Harris, David Sanborn, Eagle Don Felder, Nicolette Larson, and many more.</p> 2019-11-22 22:00:00 -0600

Opening reception with Mary Zeran: Keeping the Bubble Happy
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present "Keeping the Bubble Happy", a solo exhibit of new works by Mary Zeran.<br><br>This show investigates the idea that we all possess our inner world in relation to the external- our bubble. The works featured are a response to keeping both of these in equilibrium; the artist illustrates her personal reflection to what that means with color, movement, texture and composition. “I structure my world around a system of patterns and habits to create a psychological ecosystem that allows me to transcend my sadness, fears, insecurities, and doubts”, says Zeran. Painterly organic shapes and patterned blocks are affixed together in chaotic harmony. “I am a participant in the collaboration with the material and my atmosphere is airy within dense and transparent layers, focusing on interactions with the natural world around me.” As she abstracts flowers, trees, and the colors of nature, she uses this language to bring her closer to her family’s craft traditions while exploring her own internal voice. Exhibiting works are largely displayed on panel and paper and include her signature “object” renderings.<br><br>Mary Zeran received her B.F.A and M.F.A from University of Iowa. She was born in Iowa City in 1964 and now lives and works in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She is the recipient of several awards and honors and her works are in numerous public and private collections as well as many notable corporate collections. Her collage works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad. Museum collections include The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY, and Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Cedar Rapids IA. She has been reviewed in The Art Examiner, Seattle Post Intelligencer, Artweek, and Kolaj Magazine.<br><br><br>Parking, Accessibility:<br>A limited parking lot is available with 1 handicap space. On street parking is available on 3rd avenue and 8th street- non-metered. The MedQuarter features protected bike lanes and bicycle “parking” can be found on the opposite side of the building by the Pocket Park on 3rd and 8th.<br>All exhibit receptions are free and open to the public. </p> 2019-11-27 19:00:00 -0600
