SUMMARY:Finding Peace in Mothering Retreat at Prairiewoods (in person)
DESCRIPTION:In this weekend retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha)\, we will explore our “mothering journey\,” not only how we currently mother\, but also how we were mothered\, and how we want to mother in the future.

Our Saturday includes gentle yoga movement\, breathwork\, time in nature and opportunities for connection\, rest and self-reflection. After we wrap up on Sunday morning\, you’ll find yourself refreshed and ready to return to your mothering role with fresh eyes and a plan to care for yourself.  \n\n\n\nParticipants in this weekend retreat facilitated by Tammy Bayer and Rev. Jean Sullivan will gain a recognition of what influences their beliefs in their mothering values; identify parental beliefs vs. parental practices; be able to describe who they are at their core: before\, during and after mothering; identify practices that will support them in “filling their own cup” for the long haul of mothering; explore mindful movement\, relaxation techniques\, guided meditation\, energy work/chakras and grounding practices; and make connections in a warm and protected space. \n\n\n\n Note: You do not have to be a birth mother to enjoy or benefit from this event.

SUMMARY:Coffee Talks — Transcending Happiness: Exploring the Depths of Joy
DESCRIPTION:Monthly coffee talks at Oldenburg Franciscan Center. \n\n\n\nWith Fr. Ed Kinerk\, SJ\, Spiritual Director  \n\n\n\nJoy is a profound experience. It can include happiness\, but it is deeper than happiness and can coexist also with profound sadness. When we speak of heaven or life after death\, we often use the word joy which is beyond happiness. We will examine samples of joy in our lives and how to deepen them and make them more frequent.

SUMMARY:Franciscan Retreat: "Befriending the Wolf Within"
DESCRIPTION:We will return to the dilemma of the people of Gubbio who had to face the challenge of an imperfect world and deal with the invitation to learn how to forgive and heal their community. We will place this concept into the practical\, concrete instructions that Jesus gave his disciples when he taught them to pray\, namely the revolutionary concept of forgiveness in the Lord’s Prayer. We will discover that this prayer is a call to live a consecrated life\, a Eucharistic existence within a dysfunctional world.  \n\n\n\nAbout the facilitator\n\n\n\nMichael Jennrich\, OFM has served in a variety of ministries\, including street ministry\, retreat work\, parish work\, campus ministry and hospice chaplaincy. He uses his gifts of singing\, spinning\, weaving and storytelling to accompany others on their journey of self-discovery. He is currently Chaplain for the University of St. Francis. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nhttps://www.portforprayer.org/registration/ or contact the office at 815-464-3880 or info@portforprayer.org

SUMMARY:The Power of Silence: July Silent Directed Retreat at Prairiewoods (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps you’ve participated for years in Prairiewoods’ Silent Directed Retreats. Or maybe you have seen these advertised and considered scheduling one for yourself\, but aren’t sure what a Silent Directed Retreat is. If you’ve participated in a Silent Directed Retreat\, we welcome you back. If you’ve never participated in a retreat like this\, we invite you to consider this question: What’s the deepest silence you’ve ever known? Silent Directed Retreats offer opportunities to enter into deep silence to sense what it feels like to awaken a quiet and palpable connection with the Source of All Being. Each day you will receive ongoing direction as you and a professionally-trained spiritual director intentionally listen to the movement of the Source of All Being in your heart. Silence assists you to get in touch with feelings\, thoughts and actions as you reflect\, meditate\, pray and rest. Silence deepens the capacity to discern\, notice\, sense the movement of the Source of All Being within the whole of your life. Sharing with a professional may bring you clarity\, deepen your commitment and accountability to the direction of your life\, and offer insight into that direction. At Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha)\, we try to hold any outside stimulation to a minimum so that everything—the silence\, solitude\, reflective activities\, meals\, etc.—supports your journey within. A daily centering practice is offered. Optional reflective activities such as artwork\, yoga and singing bowl meditation are available throughout the week. Even meals are eaten reflectively in silence. Each day supports your individual needs. Stroll woods and prairie. Sense sunset quietly turn to dusk. Journal or read\, if you choose. Nap. Engage in yoga\, art expression\, meditation. Notice how food nourishes your capacity for silence. Explore holding the silence with creation all around you: humans\, stone\, tree\, pond\, squirrel\, deer\, turkey\, star\, moon\, dawn\, dusk … Is the silence simply the absence of noise? Or is it also a presence unto itself? See for yourself! Come re-establish and remember the deep connection we share with all of Creation as we listen together to the GREAT SILENCE. Take time to rest in silence\, to sense its wisdom\, to know its fullness as it offers you life. Author Carolyn Myss assures: “The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.” This retreat will be facilitated by Cindy Dunn; Ann Jackson\, PBVM; Leslie Schwarting; and Lucille Winnike\, FSPA. The cost is $525 and includes lodging\, meals and spiritual direction. Partial scholarships are available. For more information or to register\, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700. \n\n\n\nTo register: https://pw.retreatportal.com/calendar/event?programcode=24PGR25392

SUMMARY:Earth Blessings: Reweaving Connections to Kith & Kin Retreat at Prairiewoods (in person)
DESCRIPTION:“Dare we pick up the pieces of our heart as it is broken open time and again and reshape those bits into a greater capacity to hold more—more suffering\, more love\, more grief\, and more joy. More of the rich hues and deeply textured fabric of a life lived fully\,” writes Leah Rampy in Earth & Soul: Reconnecting amid Climate Chaos. We live in uncertain times\, when species and ecosystems are increasingly at risk. Our souls hunger for sacred relationship with all creation\, yet it can be difficult to discern the way forward in the midst of so much suffering and devastation. In this weekend retreat with Leah Rampy\, we’ll explore ways of reclaiming our kinship to the living world around us and expand our capacity to remain both present to reality and hopeful to possibilities\, as we practice being fully present to what is\, just as it is. Through brief teachings\, ongoing conversation and reflection\, small group discussions\, and spacious contemplative practices\, Leah will lead us on a soul journey of grief and loss over the devastation of Earth to a place of joy and possibility that is possible when we reweave our connections to kith and kin who are awaiting us. Participants will leave with contemplative practices that they may choose to continue to support their ongoing journey of love and care for Earth and all creation. Leah Moran Rampy\, PhD\, is a writer\, speaker\, retreat leader and educator who weaves ecology\, spirituality\, personal stories and practices to help others deepen their relationship to the natural world. She recently authored the book Earth & Soul: Reconnecting amid Climate Chaos. She is a frequent speaker on contemplative leadership and spiritual ecology for these edge times. Leah co-authored and co-facilitated with Beth Norcross the six-part video series on The Spiritual Wisdom of Trees: Insights from Our Elders in collaboration with the award-winning film maker Jane Pittman and sponsored by The Center for Spirituality in Nature. The cost of this weekend retreat is $250 and includes presentations\, Friday and Saturday lodging\, and Saturday breakfast through Sunday lunch. The commuter fee is $180 and includes presentations\, 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\nTo register: https://pw.retreatportal.com/calendar/event?programcode=24PGR25747

SUMMARY:The Power of Silence: June Silent Directed Retreat at Prairiewoods (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps you’ve participated for years in Prairiewoods’ Silent Directed Retreats. Or maybe you have seen these advertised and considered scheduling one for yourself\, but aren’t sure what a Silent Directed Retreat is. If you’ve participated in a Silent Directed Retreat\, we welcome you back. If you’ve never participated in a retreat like this\, we invite you to consider this question: What’s the deepest silence you’ve ever known? Silent Directed Retreats offer opportunities to enter into deep silence to sense what it feels like to awaken a quiet and palpable connection with the Source of All Being. Each day you will receive ongoing direction as you and a professionally-trained spiritual director intentionally listen to the movement of the Source of All Being in your heart. Silence assists you to get in touch with feelings\, thoughts and actions as you reflect\, meditate\, pray and rest. Silence deepens the capacity to discern\, notice\, sense the movement of the Source of All Being within the whole of your life. Sharing with a professional may bring you clarity\, deepen your commitment and accountability to the direction of your life\, and offer insight into that direction. At Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha)\, we try to hold any outside stimulation to a minimum so that everything—the silence\, solitude\, reflective activities\, meals\, etc.—supports your journey within. A daily centering practice is offered. Optional reflective activities such as artwork\, yoga and singing bowl meditation are available throughout the week. Even meals are eaten reflectively in silence. Each day supports your individual needs. Stroll woods and prairie. Sense sunset quietly turn to dusk. Journal or read\, if you choose. Nap. Engage in yoga\, art expression\, meditation. Notice how food nourishes your capacity for silence. Explore holding the silence with creation all around you: humans\, stone\, tree\, pond\, squirrel\, deer\, turkey\, star\, moon\, dawn\, dusk … Is the silence simply the absence of noise? Or is it also a presence unto itself? See for yourself! Come re-establish and remember the deep connection we share with all of Creation as we listen together to the GREAT SILENCE. Take time to rest in silence\, to sense its wisdom\, to know its fullness as it offers you life. Author Carolyn Myss assures: “The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.” This retreat will be facilitated by Rose Blank; Cindy Dunn; Ann Jackson\, PBVM; Leslie Schwarting; and Lucille Winnike\, FSPA. The cost is $525 and includes lodging\, meals and spiritual direction. Partial scholarships are available. For more information or to register\, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700. \n\n\n\nTo register: https://pw.retreatportal.com/calendar/event?programcode=24PGR25391

SUMMARY:Creativity is a Form of Prayer: Cardmaking – Lunch Included
DESCRIPTION:Creating something with your hands and heart is a wonderful journey toward God. It expresses what lies deep within that words can’t often express. Creating intends to open one’s heart to listening to God and allowing God to speak through the creative piece. If we take something that we love to do and invite God into the midst of the activity\, this experience can be transformed and used to develop an ever-closer relationship with God. This invitation becomes a sacred moment of connectedness with our Creator. It becomes another form of prayer! \n\n\n\nRegistration Information: \n\n\n\nhttps://www.oldenburgfranciscancenter.org/programs.html
