• 5-Day Yoga Journey - To Be Genuine

  <p>Early morning yoga to start your day every day for 5 days in a row. Having had a life-changing experience at my Immersion retreat to become certified as a yoga teacher, where we co-created a safe space that fostered deep transformation, I intend to co-create that same sort of space in these 5-Day Yoga Journeys. We share the universal spiritual principles of yoga and how they apply to our modern lives and then take our shared intentions and insights into an asana practice.</p><p>&nbsp;<u>To Be Genuine - 5-Day Yoga Journey - December 6-10, 6:30AM-7:30AM, the Studio at Illuminations, Cherry Building</u></p><p>https://lionheartcoaching.org/5-dayyogajourney</p><p>What does it mean to be Genuine? &nbsp;The word "genuine" means real, authentic. &nbsp;It brings to mind someone without pretenses, without subterfuge or hidden agendas.</p><p>How often to bring up veils of protection that hide our genuine selves? &nbsp;How often do we censor what we tell people (or share on social media) so that we present a picture of a happy person?</p><p>What if, in our fear of showing our genuine selves, we're depriving the world of our raw, authentic beauty, even if it's difficult to show? &nbsp;I invite you to show up genuinely, in a safe, judgement free space. &nbsp;I invite you to show up because this is how I’m going to show up - warts, weaknesses, strengths and gifts and all.</p><p>In this 5-Day Yoga Journey, we will share a practice that includes contemplation, meditation, breathing exercises, mantras, and asana (vinyasa, power, yin). &nbsp;An early morning session, 5 days in a row, designed to create a retreat-like atmosphere. &nbsp;A 5 day commitment to help foster growth and healing.</p><p>About David: David teaches a mixture of yoga styles.

• Men Exploring Faith at Prairiewoods

  <p>Behavioral scientists and spiritual guides have noted a major transformation in the life direction of many men as we mature. It may happen gradually or abruptly, as early as our 20s or in our 50s or 60s. Some men never make this shift, described as a change from goal drivenness to receptivity, from ego to wisdom. The transition can start from the inside <em>(Why am I doing what I’m doing?)</em> or the outside (from a loss or threat), and it may seem disruptive while on the way to being life-enhancing. Join with a small group of reflective men at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) in honest conversation about these changes. This group meets the second and fourth Thursdays of each month and is facilitated by Linzy Martin. (This group will not meet Dec. 23 in honor of the holidays.) 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> 2021-08-09 17:30:00 -0500

• Go Deeper Thursdays with Prairiewoods

  <p>The fruitful Go Deeper gatherings during the pandemic opened some avenues into a collective presence—a “WE space”—a time when a group of people listened into the middle in order to hear the Spirit’s guidance. Gathering each week for over a year during the pandemic called into being a foundation of relationships exploring the collective consciousness, or WE space. Beginning in September, Go Deeper will gather online via Zoom on the first and third Thursdays of each month to practice some of the tools that aid participation in the wider WE space that help us to read the collective and listen deeply to our emergent, inter-connected wisdom. Who is this “WE” that we mean? It is wider than our own ego or individual selves, wider than our most intimate circles, our community, work, worship and social circles, and wider even than our human community. It is no less than the “WE” of all creation. On each first Thursday, facilitators Laura Weber and Ellen Bruckner will guide us to focus on the tools that enhance this journey of going deeper into the WE space. On the third Thursday, we will explore a topic that deepens the dive into the collective. We know from listening that we must continue this journey of going deeper, so come join us! Join using the Zoom meeting link https://zoom.us/j/943001589?pwd=_fTU3ZYxOtQ. If prompted, enter meeting ID 943 001 589 and passcode 096247.

• Afternoon Nature & Forest Therapy Walk at Prairiewoods

  <p>We invite you to join the land at Prairiewoods and certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Emelia Sautter for a walk with the natural world. Experience Forest Therapy, a sensory-focused practice that invites us to slow down and be present with self and the natural world around us. According to the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, “Forest Therapy is a practice that supports health and wellness through guided immersion in forests and other environments to promote the well-being of both people and the land. It is inspired by <em>shinrin yoku,</em> the Japanese practice of ‘Forest Bathing.’” Much research has been done on the healing and therapeutic benefits of Forest Therapy. Hundreds of clinical and non-clinical studies show numerous positive effects, including reductions in stress, anxiety, depression, mental fatigue, anger and pain. Improvements include better cognitive functioning, sleep, mood, confidence and creativity. Time with our nature kin also boosts our immune system, regulates blood pressure, improves relationships, increases feelings of gratitude and much more. Please bring a water bottle and dress for being outdoors. The cost is $15, and registration is required by the previous day.

• Winter Solstice: Opening to the Light Retreat at Prairiewoods

  <p>Like plants opening to light, so we—amid the strain of pandemic, political strife and other life storms—seek revitalizing ways to heal, rest, release, open, transform and renew. This deeply nourishing retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) offers such healing. It offers invitation to holistically perceive, experience and re-identify with what ancient spiritual wisdom traditions, mystics, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and quantum physics have been trying to tell us: that all of creation, including our own embodied beings, is vibrating energy or Light. Also how our separate sense of self is an illusion because this Light, Qi or indwelling life force energy weaves us as One. Join facilitator Dr. Catherine Quehl-Engel for a weekend of Light, ease-filled lightness of being, and both personally and collectively experiencing mystical union with the Sacred in creation and in our bodies, minds and souls. Offerings include: TCM energy-based meditative Yin Yoga and Qigong for opening energy pathways for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing; night prayers with compassionate embrace of life’s night seasons, Mystery and dark nights of the soul; star gazing and inter-spiritual ways of praying with (and learning from) quiet Earth, animals, moon and sky amid winter stillness; healing energy transmission; and resting in sublime serenity and Theta/Delta brainwave states through Yogic Sleep and soothing Vibrational Sound Healing for release of stress, communing with the Sacred, and planting the seed of re-identification with Light and more ease-filled ways of being within the subconscious. The cost is $230 and includes sessions, lodging and all meals. The commuter fee is $180 and includes sessions, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch.

• Yacht Rock Revue

  <p>Yacht Rock Revue began in the least-yachtiest of states, 2,000 miles from breezy Marina del Rey. Lead singer/guitarist/group spiritual leader, Nick Niespodziani and Pete Olson met in the fourth grade in suburban Indiana, went on to Indiana University in the late Nineties, formed the band Y-O-U, then escaped – Rupert Holmes reference intended – to Atlanta. One night, Y-O-U tucked their tongues deep in their cheeks and played a show of Yacht Rock songs. The rowdy (a nice way of saying drunk), sold-out crowd loved it. When the club owner asked them to do it again, Niespodziani didn’t want to. But the club owner had an ace up his sleeve: money.</p><p>Over the years, YRR (there’s also a Dave, a Greg, and literally three guys named Mark) have turned themselves into human wine spritzers, playing 120 to 150 shows a year, mastering Yacht Rock’s slick chords and mellow grooves, and partying like it’s 1979. What began as a joke among friends soon put a ripple in the zeitgeist, starting a national trend through YRR’s concerts, lauded as “unabashedly joyous affairs” by Entertainment Weekly. They accumulated an extensive wardrobe of white belts and polyester shirts. Yacht Rock Revue were revered and well-compensated! Their life was a tenor sax solo! This is what every musician wants.</p>

• Flatland Cavalry at the First Avenue Club in Iowa City

  <p>Flatland Cavalry returns to the First Avenue Club on Friday, December 10^th, 2021. General Admission tickets: $20 (plus $2 service fee) and a Reserved Table for 4 (with tickets) is $105 (plus $7 service fee). Tables are in a gated, reserved area. Doors are at 7:00pm and the show begins at 8:00pm</p><p>Tickets: <a href="https://first-avenue-club.square.site/product/flatland-cavalry/258?cs=true&cst=custom">https://first-avenue-club.square.site/product/flatland-cavalry/258?cs=true&amp;cst=custom</a></p><p>With their highly anticipated sophomore album, Homeland Insecurity, Texas’ Flatland Cavalry wants to stop and smell the roses. Bandleader and chief lyricist Cleto Cordero is fine with examining the present. There’s an appreciation for all the sharp detail and high-spirited emotions of today.</p><p>Flatland Cavalry—the aforementioned Cordero, guitarist Reid Dillon, bassist Jonathan Saenz, drummer Jason Albers, and newest member, fiddle player Wesley Hall—has been stretching their legs across the country this past year after honing their craft and voice in the music boomtown of Lubbock, Texas.</p><p>Homeland Insecurity finds Flatland further evolving as musicians and storytellers. They continue to expand their sonic palettes while remaining true to those defining characteristics that made them rising standouts years ago.</p><p>On their previous releases, Come May and Humble Folks, Cordero and company harnessed untethered emotions, feel-good rhythms, and simple raw energy to make it into the hearts of fans and critics. There was power in Cordero’s proverbial pen that resonated with the highs and lows of college life.</p><p>“We’re all just out of college,” says Cordero. “We’re in our mid-twenties. We’re all told growing up that by the time you’re out of school, you’ll have it all figured out, but that’s not really how it is. You’re still out there trying to find yourself.”</p><p>It’s not a jump into adult life. That’s a facade and outright lie. Life doesn’t happen that way. You don’t turn 25 and become a fully-formed person. Rather, Homeland Insecurity finds Flatland exploring the anxieties, unsureness, growth, resilience, falters, fear, maturation, and eventual lessons learned as your grow older.</p><p>By no means does Cordero and company feel they have it figured out, but rather, are trying to figure it out themselves as well.</p><p>“I think at some point, you feel like you need to grow-up, but you don’t know how,” says Cordero. “You’re searching for that path though. You’re overturning every rock trying to find the secret that gets on to the next. I’m not trying to be a teacher or anything. I just wish someone would have told me earlier on and saved me the heartache of it all.”</p><p>Flatland is unabashed in this search knowing that they’ve always wanted to be band where their crowd grew along with them. Cordero knows he could have just revisited old themes, young lust narratives, and drinking days glory for another album. He could have easily rehashed old ideas and gotten a pass for them as long as they were catchy, but he wouldn’t have been able to live with himself.</p><p>There’s an uneasiness in his voice when even broaching the subject of cookie-cutter songs. You can hear him loosening a tie around his neck that isn’t there.</p><p>“I had a lot I wanted to say,” says Cordero. “I knew there was a better way of saying it. I didn’t want to write at the same pace I was at during Humble Folks. And I don’t want to write at this pace in the future.”</p><p>Homeland Insecurity sees Cordero sanding and smoothing the edges as a lyricist and storyteller. He’s always had an ear for memorable melodies and a gift at finding the heart of the story. But here, he expands and challenges himself to not only write at a deeper thematic level, but to simply become a better songwriter.</p><p>“Everything I’d written before, it was always just something I had to get out. It was always spurred on by an emotion, but that doesn’t mean the lyrical side was rich,” says Cordero. “I have to really say something. Everything has to purposeful. I can’t get stuck.”</p><p>Indeed. Flatland Cavalry isn’t stuck in a rut. Despite embracing the harsh realities of modern civilization and the anxieties of life, Flatland carves out their own path on Homeland Insecurity.</p> 2021-07-14 00:00:00 -0500

• The Pirates of Penzance

  <p><strong>Everyone has pretended to be a pirate at some point! Set sail with this classic musical comedy that boasts one of the most famous patter songs in musical theatre history and America’s preeminent professional Gilbert &amp; Sullivan repertory ensemble – the New York Gilbert &amp; Sullivan Players. Since its founding in 1974, the company has presented over 2,000 performances of the G&amp;S masterpieces throughout the United States. This tale features a band of tenderhearted pirates celebrating the coming of age of Frederic, who was mistakenly apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday. A ludicrous leap year snag threatens to keep him apprenticed to the pirates for life! Throw in a bevy of beauties, a brash Pirate King, the delightfully stuffy Major-General Stanley and you’ve got what The New York Times calls “An endearing production with high musical standards and spirited performances.”</strong></p> 2021-12-03 17:00:00 -0600
