Awakening Awareness of Energy Retreat at Prairiewoods (in person)

Friday, Feb. 21, 6:30 p.m.–Sunday, Feb. 23, 1 p.m. U.S. Central Time
We host seven different energy centers in our bodies. Scientific research and some spiritual traditions cite that each energy center corresponds to a particular stage of life. This experiential retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) will be facilitated by Tammy Bayer and Ann Jackson, PBVM. It will invite women of all ages to deeper understanding of the body’s energies and engage a variety of meditative practices to integrate the mind, body and spirit for healing and wholeness. Utilizing wisdom from many resources, among them The 7 Healing Chakras: Unlocking Your Body’s Energy Centers by Brenda Davies, MD, retreatants will potentially move through past experiences to rest in the present and animate possibility. Tammy Bayer is engaged as a yoga instructor—a natural extension of her work as a doula (labor coach) and childbirth educator. Tammy enjoys keeping classes and workshops informative and emotionally enriching. She enjoys walking with, connecting to and empowering women of all ages. Ann Jackson, PBVM, is Prairiewoods’ coordinator of spiritual services. Blending love of nature, literature, leadership and spirituality, Sister Ann delights in listening with others to the energy of Spirit stirring creativity, passion, discernment and service. Newly certified as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, she is committed to mindful living and compassion, evolving consciousness, and personal and social transformation by bringing mindfulness to local and global communities. She enjoys offering spiritual direction and facilitation to individuals and groups. The cost of this weekend retreat is $255 and includes sessions, lodging, and Saturday breakfast through Sunday lunch. 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.
