An Unplugged Evening at Prairiewoods (in person)

Modeled after Europe’s wildly popular Offline Club, we invite you to leave your devices behind and swap screen time for real-time connection with others. This evening at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) is an unstructured time for you to unwind, meet like-minded people, catch up on hobbies like knitting or needlework, and be in community with others. Games, books, mandala coloring, an indoor labyrinth and other fun things to do together will be available. Or you can bring a book and simply be in the presence of others! Feel free to invite others for a new experience of connecting together without your devices. This event is held one Thursday a month. Feel free to come and go as you please, as there will not be a formal program. Facilitator Leslie Schwarting is a full-time spiritual director and retreat facilitator at Prairiewoods. As a wife, mother of three adult women and former hospital executive, Leslie's journey has led her to profound joy in serving this ministry. Her extensive corporate background, which includes leading large teams, strategic planning, project management and business development, as well as her spiritual direction training, have uniquely prepared her for this role. She finds great fulfillment in supporting others as they seek to deepen their connection to the Divine, themselves and others, and is deeply empathetic to their personal and spiritual growth. The cost of this evening is $5 and includes soup and salad. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.
