President’s Lecture: Leisure, Learning, and Happiness
<p>Join Dr. Zena Hitz as she explores how we conceptualize learning, success, and fulfillment. We often think of learning in terms of concrete goals: to get a degree, job, income, comfort, and stability for ourselves and for our families. This is an important part of learning, but not the focal point. Liberal learning is for freedom—in failure as well as success. In freedom, we are someone—someone kind, generous, thoughtful, or wise. We have to cultivate leisure whatever our path in life, so that the short view of our achievement doesn’t obscure the long view of our fulfillment.</p><p>RSVP today for the Zoom link via Email at <a href="mailto:president@mtmercy.edu">president@mtmercy.edu</a></p>

Joseph Hall: ELVIS Rock N Remember
<p>***This event has been rescheduled for APRIL 23***</p><p>ELVIS IS IN THE BUILDING! Joseph Hall is thrilled to present his Elvis Rock N Remember tribute show! This show celebrates the roots of Elvis, yet is a fast-paced concert that makes it difficult for you to stay in your seat. It caters to both the young and the young at heart. He's got the look, the voice, the charm and the moves that take us back to a time when parents were flabbergasted by the flauntingly provocative hip action.</p><p>In Hall's Elvis Rock N Remember show, he achieves a powerful flashback experience to the moment when fans fell in love with the talented, handsome, carefree, energetic, high-spirited young man that is Elvis Presley. The show is masterfully produced with a mixture of Elvis hits from rock n roll, country, pop to gospel, multiple costume changes and a heartfelt tribute to our veterans. He's even got the teddy bears and scarves to woo the ladies. A must-see for all ages!</p><p>Joseph Hall, born in 1984, has been paying tribute to the legacy of Elvis Presley since 2006. He starred on NBC's America's Got Talent in 2008, making 6 TV appearances, viewed by more than 90 million people and placing as one of the top 10 finalists! Sharon Osbourne impressed enough to tell him, "I've got shoes older than you, but I'd like to try you on!" Also, Piers Morgan quoted saying, "ELVIS IS BACK!" Joseph Hall has performed all over the world! Joseph Hall has won accolades throughout his young career including the "Spirit of Elvis " award. Joseph Hall has worked with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Legends in Concert, and has officially been recognized as one of the top tribute artists in the world today. Hall says "My goal is to capture the essence of Elvis Presley, to pay tribute with the utmost respect to his legacy, his music, his image and above all else his fans.”</p><p>Tickets to this event are non-refundable.</p>

Spirituality in the 21st Century: Flaring Forth into Fullness of Life with Prairiewoods
<p>Friday, April 30, 7–9 p.m., & Saturday, May 1, 9 a.m.–3 p.m.</p><p>Prairiewoods celebrates our 25th Jubilee with a truly special Spirituality in the 21st Century event, offered entirely online via Zoom. This year’s online gathering features Thomas Berry biographers Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim from the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology (https://fore.yale.edu/). Tucker and Grim are the executive producers of the Emmy Award–winning film Journey of the Universe, narrated by Brian Swimme (https://www.journeyoftheuniverse.org/). This year’s event also welcomes eco-philosopher David Abram, founding director of the Alliance for Wild Ethics (https://wildethics.org/) and author of Spell of the Sensuous and Becoming Animal. We will also be joined by Joanna Macy–protégé and Active Hope aficionada Kathleen Rude, author of the eco-mystical novel The Redemption of Red Fire Woman (https://gaiawisdom.org/). The beautiful musical accompaniment of Sara Thomsen (https://sarathomsen.com) will weave lyrical poetry throughout the weekend. This event promises to be one of profound story, an opportunity for healing and refreshment, a wakeful enlightenment for our imagination with music as balm for the soul, and a gentle invitation for immersion into the wider “We” we have been longing for with all our hearts. From Prairiewoods’ founding until 2021, our mission has been framed with the Universe Story, a 13.7-billion-year journey that celebrates the wild fecundity of life from the Great Flaring Forth forward. Mary Evelyn and John share a passion and abiding love for the pioneering work of self-described “geologian” Thomas Berry, as well as his field’s foremost formative architect, Jesuit paleontologist and eco-philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ. They will take us along on a fantastic exploration of how Teilhard’s and Thomas’ work continues to unfold in eco-spirituality circles today. As a spellbinding artist and cartographer of the numinous in creation, David captivates listeners with his uncanny ability to draw us into communion with the breathing, animate Earth, a community of living subjects all pulsating with the rhythm of the unfolding cosmos. After an hour or two with David submerging us in what Berry called the “single gorgeous celebratory event” that is creation, we will begin to feel more in sync with our creature-kin and arbor-elders, the stones and the crashing waves, than we ever thought possible. And as an environmentalist, shamanic practitioner, writer and activist/educator, Kathleen will invite us to enter into the very fabric of creation’s extended family, the ineffable beauty and mystery of the web of life, as healing for our spiritual malaise. Along with our beloved musician-of-Earth Sara Thomsen, they will coax us (ala Thoreau) to “live deep and suck all the marrow out of life,” and celebrate the unfolding of the Universe Story as a context for spiritual sojourners in 2021. This two-day event will take place entirely online via Zoom, and the cost is $75. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700. If you are up for the mission, come expecting the joy of surprise and a taste of new life!</p><p><br></p> 2021-02-06 21:00:00 -0600
