Rock Mandala Painting for the Whole Family at Prairiewoods
<p>Spend a few hours creating art with your favorite people! Join facilitator Andi Lewis at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for a fun time together as we learn the art of rock painting with mandalas, which are sacred works of art in the form of a circle. Using smooth stones, paints and fine dotting tools, we will make beautiful, detailed mandalas. This is a fun, relaxing process that can be done by anyone, regardless of age. We will have time to paint several rocks and will be encouraged to take one rock home and leave one as a secret gift for a stranger to find. No experience or artistic skill is necessary, but kids 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. (It is ideal for ages 10 and older.) This program usually fills up early, so register today! Everyone attending must register individually. The cost is $13 and includes rocks and all art supplies (or come early for the Candle Making Class for a discounted rate of $25 for both if registered by phone). For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2023-02-18 17:15:00 -0600

Heather began practicing yoga for the mental health benefits and became a yoga instructor in order to share these amazing benefits with others. She is inspired by the potential that a regular yoga practice has for impacting so many areas of life.

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.
