Full Moon Nature & Forest Therapy Walk at Prairiewoods
<p>We invite you to join the land at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) and certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Emelia Sautter for a walk with the natural world during the power of the full moon. 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> 2023-08-20 20:00:00 -0500

Blessing of the Animals at Prairiewoods
<p>Come to Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for outdoor fun for people and pets! Gather your family, your friends and your favorite animal companions and head to the annual Blessing of the Animals at Prairiewoods. Please bring your pets on leashes or in carriers, their clean-up bags, and lawn chairs or blankets. We’ll have this free event rain or shine, and it will be moved indoors if there’s inclement weather. We’ll have a parade with people and pets at 1:15 p.m., and the blessings will begin around 1:30. Our very own Nancy Hoffman, FSPA, and Rev. Jean Sullivan will perform the blessings. We’ll also have the Cedar Valley Humane Society passing out information and collecting donations for their organization. If you would like to help them, they’ll gratefully accept cash donations, dry cat or dog food, HE liquid laundry detergent, antiseptic wipes, or 1-gallon or 2-gallon Ziplock bags. For a complete list of their needs, visit www.CVHumane.org/wish-list. Eastern Iowa Arts Academy will also be on hand to host a sun print workshop. Sun prints, also called cyanotypes, have been used to make records of plants for hundreds of years. Sun print paper is coated with chemicals that react when exposed to sunlight. When you place objects like leaves on the paper, they block the light so that the paper remains white while the areas around the leaves turn a beautiful Prussian blue. Explore the land for some flat leaves and flower petals to turn into a lovely sun print to take home! We hope you and your beloved animals will join us for this fun, free event! For more information, visit www.Prairiewoods.org or call 319-395-6700.</p> 2023-08-20 16:00:00 -0500

She is inspired by the potential that a regular yoga practice has for impacting so many areas of life. In fact, it was her yoga training that motivated her to begin crafting as a career, to share her crafting with others, and to regularly explore the intersection of yoga and creativity. Let’s see how Heather can help us benefit from yoga! Yoga meets in person at Prairiewoods. The cost is $120 for an eleven-punch card, $72 for a six-punch card or $15 for a single class, one punch per session. Registration for each session is required at least two hours before class time.
