Healing Conversations with Plants at Prairiewoods
<p>For millennia, humans have relied upon herbs and other plants for nourishment and healing. As food and medicine, plants are powerful allies. They fuel and heal our bodies, providing for our growth and well-being. If we are willing to listen carefully, they offer us wisdom and companionship as well. This exchange is not one-sided. As we tend to plants and their environs, we not only provide for their growth and well-being, but we also give them a bit of ourselves, too. Just as we exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with plants, we also share wisdom and spiritual energy. By tending plants, we tend to the planet, fostering healing and growth for ourselves and the world. On the first Wednesday of each month, come to Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for a conversation with facilitator Carolyn Herbst Lewis, PhD. This conversation and hands-on learning series will showcase the healing potential of a medicinal plant. On April 1, the focus will be on lemon balm. We will explore its historic and current use and learn how to incorporate it into our own self-care regimen. We also will discuss the bigger lessons these healing plants offer as we seek a deeper connection between our spiritual journeys and the seasons of Earth, as well as the healing energy we might offer to the plants and the planet in exchange for the healing and wisdom they offer us. Carolyn Herbst Lewis founded Mamie's Way Herbs in order to share her passions for women's history, healing plants and Earth-centered spirituality. She has degrees from Ohio University and the University of California, Santa Barbara, and is a history professor at Grinnell College. She is a student of both the Rosemary Gladstar Science and Art of Herbalism Course and the Heartwood Foundation Course in Herbal Medicine, and she has traveled to England, Japan and India to learn more about traditional herbal medicine. The cost is $15 per class or $120 for the ten-month series. Registration and payment are required by the previous day. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2020-02-08 19:30:00 -0600

Ignatius at 2020 Retreat at Prairiewoods
<p>Ignatius of Loyola was both a mystic with a powerful vision of the interconnectedness of humanity with all other creatures and also a practical man of his time and place. He was the inventor of the modern university and the visionary founder of the Jesuits. Because of his special interest in personal and social transformation, we at Prairiewoods are including him in our series of retreats featuring cosmic visionaries of the past and what they have to teach us about our pilgrimage on planet Earth today. Join facilitator Father Dennis Hamm, SJ, at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) as we work with forms of meditation, contemplation and discernment inspired by Ignatius’ methods in the latter’s Spiritual Exercises. Dennis will give special attention to the spirituality of Pope Francis as articulated in his eco-encyclical, <em>Laudato Si’: On Care for our Common Home, </em>in response to the cry of Earth and the cry of the poor. 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>

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. A hot breakfast starts the day, followed by 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. Finally, return to the Spirituality Center for a scrumptious luncheon, and leave happy and refreshed. The cost is $50 and includes breakfast and lunch. (You may choose to pay an additional $25 to stay through the afternoon with dinner, or $55 to stay overnight with Sunday breakfast.) For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2018-01-09 13:00:00 -0600
