SUMMARY:The Letter
DESCRIPTION:The documentary on the encyclical\, Laudato Si’ by Pope Francis entitled The Letter\, will be April’s free Franciscan for Earth Eco-Series event. A special viewing and discussion of the film will take place on Tuesday\, April 11\, 2023\, at 6:30 in the evening Central\, via Zoom. In October\, YouTube Originals released this grand documentary telling the story of the encyclical letter and the unfolding ecological emergency. It’s the fruit of a few years of work of Laudato Si’ Movement in partnership with Off the Fence (Oscar-winning producers of My Octopus Teacher) and the Vatican. Pope Francis is the film’s star\, and he generously spent time during the production\, sharing his deep wisdom. Other voices are also featured\, representing the peripheries of the ecological crisis: a teenage youth activist from India\, an indigenous leader from the Amazon\, a climate refugee from Senegal\, and scientists from Hawaii. Be touched by the prophetic stories of Ridhima\, Chief Dada\, Arouna\, and Robin and Greg—all real-life heroes in and outside the film. Their in-person dialogue with the Pope was priceless. As the film powerfully explains\, “the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor are growing increasingly desperate. Droughts\, floods\, wildfires\, hurricanes\, deforestation—they all keep getting worse and worse.” \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Spirituality in the 21st Century: Weaving a New Story of Meaning with Prairiewoods
DESCRIPTION:Please welcome esteemed author and facilitator Jeremy Lent! Jeremy is the author of The Patterning Instinct\, A Cultural History of Humanity’s Search for Meaning and The Web of Meaning\, Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe (www.jeremylent.com). It is a delight and a great gift for Prairiewoods that he will be joining us LIVE and in person\, along with our favorite musician-of-Earth\, Sara Thomsen (www.sarathomsen.com). Jeremy is well known for his eclectic approach to the integration of science and holistic spirituality\, and he is also quite adept at presenting embodied spiritual wisdom streams across many traditions. His arc of presentation for the weekend will be a brief introduction on Friday evening on how we construct our worldviews. On Saturday morning\, he will explore with us the implications of a worldview of deep interconnectedness\, followed by embodied practices based on Liology (https://www.jeremylent.com/liology.html)\, an integrated\, embodied framework for well-being and spiritual groundedness. On Saturday afternoon\, he will introduce us to the inspiring vision of\, and pathways to\, a life-affirming “Ecological Civilization.” Sara’s soulful music will be woven throughout\, moving us all into sacred\, shared “We” space\, where our imagination and dreams will meet the world’s great needs. We are the ones we’ve been anticipating! Please join us for what promises to be an inspiring\, soul-transforming event! This Friday evening and Saturday event is being hosted at Grant Wood Area Education Agency (4401 Sixth Street SW in Cedar Rapids\, Iowa—please note this is a new location)\, and online via Zoom. Costs begin at $90. 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\nRegistration Information
