SUMMARY:Confronting Environmental Racism
DESCRIPTION:Franciscan Action Network and the Franciscan Federation are pleased to present a 4-part webinar series on Confronting Environmental Racism.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom plastics to cosmetics\, fashion\, fertilizer\, and more\, petrochemicals are everywhere in our daily lives\, seeping into our air\, water\, soil\, food\, and bloodstreams. As the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy proceeds\, many corporations are trying to ramp up petrochemical and plastic production to stay in business. While all Americans are affected\, some communities are affected much more than others. As Franciscans\, we are called to stand with our sisters and brothers who have been most directly affected. \n\n\n\nThe oil\, gas and petrochemical industry have long placed their facilities in areas inhabited by Black\, Brown\, Indigenous\, or poor communities deemed “sacrifice zones.” It’s time for us to stand with communities on the frontlines of this environmental racism. \n\n\n\nThe centerpiece of our series will be three short documentaries\, “Big Oil’s Last Lifeline\,” produced by Hip Hop Caucus. At three of our four gatherings\, we will view one 20-minute long documentary and hear from a speaker in one of the “sacrifice zones” in the U.S.–Houston\, Louisiana\, and West Virginia–while at the fourth we will discuss advocacy options with experienced activists. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we will learn how the petrochemical industry violates laws and regulations with impunity\, leading to the unconscionable – dumping cancer-causing pollution into the air\, water\, and soil – and what can be done to address this situation. \n\n\n\nNOTE: There are four sessions. Each session will be one-hour beginning at 4 pm Eastern / 1 pm Pacific. Attend one or more if you wish. The fourth session will be a discussion with climate activists. \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Silent Mindfulness Meditation Retreat at Prairiewoods
DESCRIPTION:As Jon Kabat-Zinn writes in Full Catastrophe Living\, “Life unfolds in moments. The healing power of mindfulness lies in living each one as fully as we can.” Mindfulness is the attention to what is happening in the present moment as it is happening. It shapes a wise and compassionate relationship with and response to experience as it unfolds moment by moment. As Joseph Goldstein writes in A Heart Full of Peace\, “Mindfulness is the quality and power of mind that is deeply aware of what’s happening—without commentary and without interference … keeping us connected to brushing our teeth or having a cup of tea … connected to the people around us.” Scientific research shows that mindfulness can positively affect stress resilience\, physical and mental health\, the ability to sustain attention\, self-regulation of emotions\, interpersonal skills\, and general well-being and happiness. Join facilitator Chris Klug for a weekend retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) to cultivate mindfulness in silence amid instruction\, questioning\, sitting meditation\, walking meditation\, mindful movement and mindful eating. All are welcome to participate\, whether we are interested in beginning a formal mindfulness meditation practice or have been practicing for some time. The cost 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
