Digital Detox: An Unplugged Experience at Prairiewoods (in person)

Depending on the data source, Americans spend between 4–7 HOURS daily on their phones. This doesn't account for time in front of computers and other devices. We invite you to cut the cord for a weekend. Reconnect to your inner thoughts and your Divine Nature. Join facilitator Leslie Schwarting and others in peaceful silence at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for an unscheduled weekend of quiet. Walk the trails, read, be creative, spend time on the labyrinth and participate in optional Spiritual Direction sessions. We invite you to see what emerges from a dedicated time of silence and reflection. Leslie serves as a full-time spiritual director and retreat facilitator at Prairiewoods. A wife, mother of three adult women and former hospital executive, Leslie completed her spiritual direction certification with the direct intention to tend to the souls of others on this journey of life. Leslie has extensive experience in leading large teams, developing organizational engagement strategies, improving processes and most importantly to Leslie, connecting deeply to those around her. She loves to create space for her directees and support them as they explore what their hearts crave, identify where opportunities for healing are, contemplate the rich questions of our lives, and grow closer to God, the Earth, oneself and others. She is innately curious, loves reading, silence, spending time with her family, being outdoors, traveling, singing in her car while commuting, trying new things and meeting new people. The cost of this weekend retreat is $255 and includes lodging, all Saturday meals and Sunday breakfast. Lodgers only, please.
