Saturday Soul-Stretch for Lovers of Embodied Spirituality at Prairiewoods
<p>Wake up! Wake up! The weekend is here. Saturday Soul-Stretch will get you out of bed and back into your 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 you’re relaxed and engaged, sip a cup of 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, 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 your companion-guides. Finally, 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
