Treasuring Our Trees, Part 3
<p>Spring is the time for new life—for planting, for watering and for active hope! Following the huge loss of our arbor-elders in the Aug. 10 derecho, we have been doing the hard interior work of grieving, going deeper and learning. In spring, we will join in the communal celebration of planting and welcoming new life! We come together as a community once more to lean into the role of courageous visionaries, imagining and planting a whole new generation of baby trees, caring for the sacred Earth—including the soil, air and water—through ritual, song, poetry and prayer. Please join us as we sing songs of joy once again with the exultant Earth and ritualize the welcome of our beloved baby trees and the resplendence of the trees we have all around us! This online program via Zoom is free and is co-sponsored by Prairiewoods, Trees Forever, Indian Creek Nature Center, Backyard Abundance, Winding Pathways, Cornell College Chaplain & Spiritual Life, Coe College and People’s Unitarian Universalist Church. For more information or to register for the Zoom link, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2021-02-06 14:00:00 -0600

Grant Wood Revealed: Rarely Seen Works by an American Master
<p>Launching the CRMA's year-long celebration of the 175th anniversary of Iowa's statehood will be an unusual look at Iowa’s most famous artist, Grant Wood.

This exhibition will bring together works from both the CRMA collection as well as from private collections to celebrate Wood’s inquisitive mind. Rarely-seen paintings will be joined by diverse metalwork pieces, drawings, and studies to construct a fuller view of Wood’s genius.</p> 2021-03-07 16:00:00 -0600

Blakelock: By the Light of the Moon Art Exhibit
<p>Forgeries, mental illness, intrigue, and rapid fame—the dramatic circumstances of Ralph Albert Blakelock’s life often overshadow the merits of his work. <em>By the Light of the Moon</em> will feature eight exceptional artworks by Blakelock from the museum collection. Born in 1847, his early paintings were highly detailed landscapes inspired by Hudson River School painters. After traveling to the American West and becoming familiar with Barbizon painters, Blakelock developed the atmospheric landscapes for which he is known. Drenched in darkness and silvery moonlight, his thickly painted landscapes have a distinctive otherworldly quality. This exhibition will explore Blakelock’s body of work and how his interest in spiritualism is reflected in his artistic practice.</p> 2021-02-28 17:00:00 -0600

Embracing Struggle Retreat: Walking in Hope with Teilhard de Chardin
<p>The call to embrace struggle is not an act of resignation but a commitment to life in its fullness. In this one-day retreat via Zoom with Prairiewoods, we walk with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin—Jesuit, scientist and mystic. With him, we explore the powerful imagery found in his essay “The Spiritual Power of Matter,” consider the way he faced his life struggles—especially those related to the Church and to the World—and prayerfully reflect on their relevance to our own life experiences and present situations. This online retreat via Zoom includes time for prayer, input, reflection, contemplative dialogue and sharing and is facilitated by Kathleen Duffy, SSJ, Ph.D. Sister Kathleen is professor emerita of physics and director of the Institute for Religion and Science at Chestnut Hill College. She is president of the American Teilhard Association and associate editor of Teilhard Studies, and she serves on the advisory board of Cosmos and Creation. Her present research deals with the way Teilhard de Chardin’s religious writings connect with modern science. She has published several book chapters and articles on these topics, an edited volume of essays entitled Rediscovering Teilhard’s Fire (St. Joseph’s University Press, 2010), and two books: Teilhard’s Mysticism: Seeing the Inner Face of Evolution (Orbis Books, 2014) and Teilhard’s Struggle: Embracing the Work of Evolution (Orbis Books, 2019). Kathleen also guides evening, weekend and week-long retreats on topics related to Teilhard’s life and work. The cost of this retreat is $75. For more information or to register for the Zoom link, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2021-02-06 15:00:00 -0600
