LIFETREE CAFÉ - Faith and Science
<p>Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. </p><p>The program, titled “Faith and Science: Discoveries From the Scientist Who Led the Human Genome Project,” features a filmed interview with Dr. Francis Collins, a world-renowned geneticist noted for his leadership in directing the human genome project.</p><p>“For me as a scientist, there are aspects of what we have learned about nature that seem to be pointers toward God. Not proofs, but pointers,” says Collins. “The fact that the universe seems to have a beginning is crying out for some explanation of how you can go from nothing to something.”</p> 2019-07-30 13:00:00 -0500

Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (S.E.E.L.) 12 Retreat at Prairiewoods
<p>Do you long to sense how God reveals God’s love within and through your daily activity? Do you desire to establish, or perhaps deepen your prayer? Do you yearn to discern the future of your life as it unfolds daily? Consider joining the annual nine-month Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (S.E.E.L.) Retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha). St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit Community, offered the Spiritual Exercises to help seekers develop a disposition of the heart and the words to articulate the movement of God in their lives. The retreat experience extends through nine months (Sept. 14, Oct. 12, Nov. 9, Dec. 7, Jan. 11, Feb. 8, March 7, April 4 and May 16). S.E.E.L. retreatants gather monthly at Prairiewoods to enter into the Exercises with others in a setting of prayer and reflection. Between gatherings, each retreatant receives daily readings to spur prayer and then meets individually once a month with a spiritual director to listen to insights that arise within prayer and to learn the art of discernment. Some retreatants find it so beneficial that they participate annually for a few years! This nine-month retreat is facilitated by Ann Jackson, PBVM; Betty Daugherty, FSPA; and Lucille Winnike, FSPA. The cost of this nine-month retreat is $450 (payable in Sept. 2019 or in monthly installments of $50) plus monthly spiritual direction sessions paid separately (usually $45 per hour). For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2018-09-02 15:00:00 -0500

When I was introduced to SoulCollage® in 2017, my artistic and spiritual pursuits found Sacred Space within this incredible modality. SoulCollage® has allowed me the opportunity to discover in a creative and playful way, my Soul - that which I truly am. It's a process of self-discovery that is so simple yet powerful, leading to integration and wholeness. I am so grateful to be able to share this process with others. <br><br>My Story: I have been a facilitator of spiritual healing since 1997. My personal journey began at a young age, thanks to a mother who embraced all things metaphysical. I am a self-taught artist who uses art to connect to my inner wisdom. I am a SoulCollage® Facilitator, Reiki Master/Teacher, Sacred Activist, modern day Shaman and intuitive artist who works in a variety of mediums. My passion is self-discovery. My focus is on being a facilitator who helps others discover their Authentic Self and how to embrace who they are with love, compassion and non-judgment. <br><br>For more information on SoulCollage® please visit <a data-lynx-mode="hover" data-lynx-uri="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.soulcollage.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3fuTizFMKvTerqlLgq9b2ScvzU19EJw3ZUP1t5W0agXP82unyh6d4xCmU&h=AT2mob5CMtWHqInpSMMsYdTxWbu0qx8LqLlQWFYeFEI5oyzXdaPl3MTLDmiH1gCWFSsouUAwc99rmt4XgIGPL6CresazYIb-HF0LZzDPfm58MPn6ztD9kTkV7pWiJ17_" href="http://www.soulcollage.com/?fbclid=IwAR3fuTizFMKvTerqlLgq9b2ScvzU19EJw3ZUP1t5W0agXP82unyh6d4xCmU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.soulcollage.com.</a> </p> 2019-08-20 15:30:00 -0500

History on Tap: Behind the Beat

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.

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> 2018-02-13 13:00:00 -0600

Seeing IS Believing: Visio Divina at Prairiewoods
<p>Come together in a circle of trust to integrate imagination, learning and prayer through the practice of <em>Visio Divina,</em> or holy seeing, at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on Tuesday mornings. A contemplative practice of praying the Scriptures while viewing visual art, Visio Divina involves listening to the word of God, viewing art, pondering God’s message, letting our hearts speak and resting in God. Various works of art are used for the sessions, including pieces from <em>The Saint John's Bible,</em> professional artists and local artists. The sessions, facilitated by Lois Ocenosak, stand alone, so we invite you to attend whenever available. The cost is $5 per session. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2017-10-10 11:30:00 -0500

Belonging to Our Longings in Troubled Times: A Seeker’s Writing Retreat at Prairiewoods
<p>What transformative power might we discover if we followed our heart’s longings while opening our life to the needs crying out in the world today? Perhaps you already have and wish to be encouraged. Perhaps you have just recently heard your heart speak and are wondering how to begin. Perhaps, in the noise of the times and the busyness of life, you find it difficult to hear your heart’s soft voice at all. In this weekend retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha), facilitator Karen Hering will help us use guided writing, conversation, gentle movement, and activities both playful and contemplative to listen for the wisdom rising from our own lives and bodies. We will consider how the world’s needs today can help us understand our own longings more deeply and clearly. And we’ll join in community, encouraging one another and discovering the transformative power of belonging to our longings in troubled times. This retreat is for writers and non-writers alike. 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>
