St. Francis Day Celebration: Blessing of the Animals & Poetry Book Launch
<p>Celebrate the patron saint of ecology, St. Francis of Assisi, on his feast day with Prairiewoods’ popular annual Blessing of the Animals! Join us online via Zoom for a celebration of our connection with animals, trees and all of Creation. Kids and animal companions (whether furry, winged, scaled or finned) are invited to join us for this free afternoon. At this year’s celebration, we’ll also launch <em>Outstretched Boughs, </em>a book of poetry and reflections on Prairiewoods’ trees. It was started as a labor of love by Prairiewoods friend Kathy Decker and foundress Betty Daugherty, FSPA. It has been completed in loving memory of both women. This 40-page, self-published gem features poems and photographs of the trees at Prairiewoods. It can be purchased now for $10 (plus $2 shipping, if applicable) by calling 319-395-6700. This afternoon will include poetry readings to honor trees that fell in the storm and celebrate those that are still standing. Please be ready with your screen of choice, your pets and your sense of wonder at the beauty of trees and all creation! To join the celebration, use the Zoom meeting link (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89742720267?pwd=OUN3SnB4Y2RBOTBzYVFndFd2dG9Vdz09). If prompted, enter meeting ID 897 4272 0267 and password 731481.

Grant Wood Revealed: Rarely Seen Works by an American Master
<p>Rounding out our anniversary year will be an unusual look at arguably Iowa’s most important artist, Grant Wood. While known for his iconic <em>American Gothic</em> (Art Institute of Chicago) and other Regionalist works from his mature style, Grant Wood was constantly exploring styles, techniques, and media. 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 with diverse metalwork pieces, drawings, and studies to construct a fuller view of Wood’s genius.</p> 2020-10-06 16:00:00 -0500

Virtual Thursday Forum: The 1918 Influenza Pandemic
<p dir="ltr">A century ago, the world faced a global health crisis that in many ways parallels the present-day challenges we face during the COVID-19 pandemic. This Thursday Forum offers historical perspective and insights on the current public health crisis by providing an overview of the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic, which erupted amidst the already-significant suffering and destruction of World War I. This two-session forum will begin with an overview of the origins, diffusion, mitigation, and impacts of the 1918 influenza outbreak. We will look into how the disease developed and spread, examining the pandemic from a global perspective. The presentation will consider the medical understanding of the disease and attempts to counter it, as well as the social and cultural factors that determined its evolution and treatment. The second forum will examine how the outbreak played out in Cedar Rapids, comparing and contrasting the experience of students at Coe and townspeople in the area. Through use of historical archival and newspaper sources, we will recreate the situation in eastern Iowa and evaluate the impact that the war, gender, and class had on healthcare and survival. This examination will be tied together with a look into the life and legend of Helen Roberts, the only Coe student to die in the epidemic and who is now alleged to haunt Voorhees Hall.</p><p>The virtual event will be found at <a href="https://portal.stretchinternet.com/coeadmin/">https://portal.stretchinternet.com/coeadmin/</a></p> 2020-10-08 23:58:00 -050010/08/2012:00 a.m.Coe CollegeCedar Rapids -

Seriously Funny: American Gothic Parodies
<p>Grant Wood’s <em>American Gothic</em> is probably the world’s most parodied American painting, second only to Leonardo’s <em>Mona Lisa</em>. The fact that thousands of parodies of <em>American Gothic</em> exist, dating back several decades, speaks to the enduring inspiration of one of America’s greatest works of art. This exhibition—a first for the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art—will look at many of these parodies—some in the flesh on the gallery’s walls and many others digitally projected in an attempt to share the incredible reach of this iconic painting. From Bill and Hillary Clinton to Leonardo and Mona Lisa to RuPaul as male and female, these parodies speak to how this one painting serves as the basis for looking at various contemporary people and issues. Wood’s impactful 1930 painting continues to inspire “artists” of all ages and skills in a playful and humorous way that Wood would no doubt have applauded.</p> 2020-10-08 20:00:00 -0500

Grant Wood Revealed: Rarely Seen Works by an American Master
<p>Rounding out our anniversary year will be an unusual look at arguably Iowa’s most important artist, Grant Wood. While known for his iconic <em>American Gothic</em> (Art Institute of Chicago) and other Regionalist works from his mature style, Grant Wood was constantly exploring styles, techniques, and media. 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 with diverse metalwork pieces, drawings, and studies to construct a fuller view of Wood’s genius.</p> 2020-10-09 16:00:00 -0500

Active Hope Renewed Online: Answering Earth’s Call for Transformative Healing & Loving Action at Prairiewoods
<p>As Joanna Macy writes, “Active Hope is not wishful thinking … Active Hope is a readiness to discover the strengths in ourselves and in others; a readiness to discover the reasons for hope and the occasions for love.” In this online retreat, we will move through the spiral of The Work That Reconnects with the understanding that we are all in this together! Through an exploration of our interdependence with all life, we will strengthen our resilience to engage with the climate crisis, upcoming elections, environmental and social injustice and turmoil. Join facilitator Kathleen Rude as we gather online in community and offline in self-reflection (with time outside if you're able) to hear what Earth is asking of us and to receive inspiration and healing for our weary, overwhelmed hearts and souls. In supportive community, we will honor our pain for the world, reconnect to active hope and find clarity around how we can play a part in the healing of our communities and our planet. This retreat includes experiential practices, time outside, inspirational readings and simple rituals. It’s engaging, invigorating and gives us tools for dealing with the challenges of living in difficult times. The cost of this online retreat is $150. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2020-09-24 21:30:00 -0500

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. Join facilitator Laura Weber at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) to de-stress, reconnect and sink deeply into the present moment. The day begins with gentle tai chi movement and a sitting meditation to foster deep relaxation. To relax and engage, sip a cup of aromatic tea and enter into a whole new realm of exploration with a different spiritual modality each month, such as dream work, journaling, mandalas, labyrinth, 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. <em>If we are unable to meet in person due to COVID-19, this will be offered virtually via Zoom. </em>The cost is $25.

Soul Care: Creative Arts Grief Support Group at Prairiewoods
<p>Take time to be with others in grief and engage the creative spark.

We will experiment with yarn, canvas board and paint to create our own birch tree masterpieces. This support group is offered as a partnership between Prairiewoods and Unity Point Hospice. Due to COVID-19, this will be offered via Zoom with a to go kit mailed to all registered participants the week prior to group. This group is free and includes all art supplies.

Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (S.E.E.L.) 13 Retreat at Prairiewoods
<p><em>Due to COVID-19 and the derecho, SEEL will not begin until Oct. 10. There’s still time to register! </em>“We long to sense how God reveals God’s love within and through daily activity.” and “We desire to establish and deepen a practice of daily prayer.” Past S.E.E.L. retreatants cite longings and learnings such as these among the greatest gifts of the S.E.E.L. retreat. Join facilitators Ann Jackson, PBVM, and Lucille Winnike, FSPA, at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for this nine-month retreat. We will learn about St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit Community, who offered the Spiritual Exercises to help seekers who longed to develop a disposition of the heart and the words to articulate the movement of God in daily life. During these nine months, we will gather monthly at Prairiewoods to enter into the Exercises in prayer and reflection. Between monthly gatherings, we receive daily readings to spur prayer, meet once a month with a spiritual director to listen to insights that arise within prayer and to learn the art of discernment. (Monthly meeting dates are Oct. 10, Nov. 14, Dec. 5, Jan. 9, Feb. 13, March 13, April 10 and May 15.) Some retreatants find it so beneficial they participate in S.E.E.L. year after year! <em>If we are unable to meet in person due to COVID-19, this will be offered virtually via Zoom. </em>The cost of this nine-month retreat is $450 (payable in Sept. 2020 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
