Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul at Prairiewoods
<p>The Celtic people seemed to be very much in tune with their environment and the natural world. What is the wisdom from our Celtic ancestors we instinctively recognize and trust as we travel through these seemingly disturbing times? John Phillip Newell explores some of this wisdom by looking at the lives and teachings of prophetic figures throughout the centuries in his newest book, Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Awakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World. This book focuses on the wisdom of Pelagius, Brigid of Kildare, John Scotus Eriugena, Alexander John Scott, John Muir, de Chardin, George MacLeod and Kenneth White and offers us a chance to more fully recognize some of these wisdom callings from within ourselves. From the book’s introduction: “We know things in the core of our being that we have not necessarily been taught, and some of this deep knowing may actually be at odds with what our society or religion has tried to teach us. This book is about reawakening to what we know in the depths of our being, that the earth is sacred and that this awareness is at the heart of every human being and life-form. To awaken again to this deep knowing is to be transformed in the ways we choose to live and relate and act.” John Philip Newell is an internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher and popular speaker and the widely read author of several books, including The Rebirthing of God and A New Ancient Harmony. You are invited to gather online with others in conversation around the people and ideas introduced by Newell in his book. Facilitator Ellen Bruckner will guide us as we gather via Zoom for a total of four sessions, each two hours in length (on either Tuesday mornings or Wednesday evenings). We will try to pay close attention to how the wisdom we explore has an impact on our own lives today. Much of the time will be spent in conversation, and reading the book Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul is recommended. The cost is $30 for the four-part series, and registration is required to get the Zoom link. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-05-24 11:00:00 -0500

Celebrating the Summer Solstice with Forest Bathing at Prairiewoods
<p>We invite you to join the land at Prairiewoods and certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Emelia Sautter for a walk with the natural world. Experience Forest Therapy, a sensory-focused practice that invites us to slow down and be present with self and the natural world around us. According to the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, “Forest Therapy is a practice that supports health and wellness through guided immersion in forests and other environments to promote the well-being of both people and the land. It is inspired by <em>shinrin yoku,</em> the Japanese practice of ‘Forest Bathing.’” Much research has been done on the healing and therapeutic benefits of Forest Therapy. Hundreds of clinical and non-clinical studies show numerous positive effects, including reductions in stress, anxiety, depression, mental fatigue, anger and pain. Improvements include better cognitive functioning, sleep, mood, confidence and creativity. Time with our nature kin also boosts our immune system, regulates blood pressure, improves relationships, increases feelings of gratitude and much more. Please bring a water bottle and dress for being outdoors. The cost is $20, and registration is required by the previous day. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-04-16 20:30:00 -0500

Go Deeper Thursdays at Prairiewoods
<p>Go Deeper Thursdays emerged in the context of the global pandemic, or as Prairiewoods calls it, the PanDeepening. Our reflective and lively Thursday conversations opened us to spiritual deepening, providing a sacred space to share our PanDeepening awareness, a place where we explored venues for collective presencing and delving into the wider “We” space. As our journey meandered through topics associated with inter-breathing and collective consciousness, we embraced diverse resources for consideration. Through simple breathing meditations, poetry, practicing mindfulness, storytelling, re-languaging, listening to creation’s song and many small group experiences, we have been learning to read the collective and listen deeply to our emergent, inter-connected wisdom. In the process, we are becoming more expansive, more inclusive, recognizing our place in the wider “We.” Who is this “We” that we mean? It is wider than our own ego or individual selves, wider than our most intimate circles, our community, work, worship and social circles, and wider even than our human community. It is no less than the “We” of all creation. These conversations hosted by Prairiewoods via Zoom are facilitated by Ellen Bruckner and Laura A. Weber, Ph.D. The cost is $10 per month, and registration is required to get the Zoom link. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-04-17 17:00:00 -0500
