Join us for an Unplugged Evening at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha). 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. Dinner will be available for purchase, and this will be 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 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 will be held on the third Thursday of each month (except December). Feel free to come and go as you please, as there will not be a formal program. Facilitator Leslie Schwarting serves as a full-time spiritual director and retreat facilitator at Prairiewoods. A wife, mother of three adult women and former hospital executive, she completed her spiritual direction certification with the direct intention to tend to the souls of others. Leslie loves to create space for others and support them as they explore what their hearts crave, identify where opportunities for healing are, contemplate the rich questions of life, and grow closer to God, Earth, oneself and others. The cost of this evening is $5, and à la carte dinner and snack options will be available for purchase. Registration is requested.
