• 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

• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) at Prairiewoods

  <p>Mindfulness is the power of mind to be deeply aware of what's happening—without commentary or interference. Research reveals numerous benefits to the nervous system, emotions and general sense of well-being. In the eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha), we will cultivate the skill of mindfulness through formal meditation practices and informal integrative practices. Facilitator Chris Klug, a grief counselor and mindfulness teacher, has been an instructor in the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics since 2001. This series is co-sponsored by Prairiewoods and Cedar Memorial. It consists of a two-and-a-half-hour class each week for eight weeks (Tuesday evenings from Sept. 24–Nov. 12) and one extended six-and-a-half-hour Saturday class (Nov. 2). If you want to participate in this eight-week series, please attend one of the information sessions (Sept. 10 or 17). The information sessions are free, but the eight-week series costs $400. (Partial scholarships are available through Cedar Memorial.) For more information or to register for an information session, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2017-01-13 18:30:00 -0600

• Sustaining a Food System for a Growing World

  <p>Whether interested in food for health, world hunger relief, or just to enjoy your favorite meal, we cannot escape the fact that our current food systems are unsustainable. As global population grows in the shadow of climate change, what we eat makes a big difference. Our food choices impact water security, carbon emissions, and global and local food security. In this talk, we will explore how we got to our current system and how a sustainable food system might look. How can we feed the world, reduce our carbon impact, and adapt to our changing climate?</p>

• Silent Mindfulness Meditation Retreat at Prairiewoods

  <p>“Life unfolds in moments. The healing power of mindfulness lies in living each one as fully as we can.” —Jon Kabat-Zinn, <em>Full Catastrophe Living.&nbsp;</em>Mindfulness is an open, kind, non-judging attention to what is happening in the present moment as it is happening. It shapes a wise and compassionate relationship with and response to experience as it unfolds moment by moment. As Joseph Goldstein writes in <em>A Heart Full of Peace,</em> “Mindfulness is the quality and power of mind that is deeply aware of what’s happening—without commentary and without interference … keeping us connected to brushing our teeth or having a cup of tea … connected to the people around us.” Scientific research shows that mindfulness can positively affect stress resilience, physical and mental health, the ability to sustain attention, self-regulation of emotions, interpersonal skills, and general well-being and happiness. Come to Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for a weekend retreat with facilitator Chris Klug to cultivate mindfulness in silence amid instruction, questioning, sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful movement and mindful eating. All are welcome to participate, whether we are interested in beginning a formal mindfulness meditation practice or have been practicing for some time. Facilitator Chris Klug has practiced mindfulness meditation for more than 30 years, including seven silent extended mindfulness meditation retreats. He is an instructor in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program at Prairiewoods and at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC), where he began teaching in 2001 following participation in training by Jon Kabat-Zinn. He is a grief counselor, educator and consultant in private practice in Iowa City, and a consultant to the palliative care staff at UIHC. Chris has more than 30 years of experience facilitating retreats and workshops on mindfulness, nonviolence, creative conflict resolution, and grief and loss. 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. A non-refundable deposit of $25 is required at registration. (Full payment is required to register online. If you prefer to pay the $25 registration fee now and the balance when you arrive, please call 319-395-6700.) If you want to stay in a Hermitage, you also will need to register by phone. If you have dietary restrictions that affect your health, please list them.</p>
