Take your mom out to brunch with the whole family and then come share an afternoon together at Prairiewoods! This will be a fun afternoon of exploration and sacredness for mothers and their adult daughters to engage with each other in an intentional, meaningful and creative way. This afternoon will be facilitated by Adina Joy Levitt, a 46-year-old daughter, and Helene Hirmes, her 81-year-old mom.
Each hour we will have a different focus: Art (Zentagle), Honoring our Ancestors, Dance/Movement and Gratitude.
Zentangles are a meditative drawing of repeated patterns that anyone can do. Through this expression of beauty we can learn to appreciate our creative side, one stroke at a time. We will create unique abstract images on small cards that can be completed in a short time, resulting in a wonderful surprise. We will then get a short taste of Tai Chi, a slow meditative movement practice, accessible to all ages and body types, to get our blood flowing and stretch our muscles after sitting.
Next we will share stories of the women in our ancestry, honoring the gifts they have passed on to us: their strengths, personality traits, talents and hobbies. We are invited to bring objects that our relatives used to help us create an Ancestor Altar. Then we will celebrate together through free-form dance and movement, honoring and reconnecting with our own bodies, as Adina guides us to awaken to the rhythms as an individual and as a collective in the group.
We will end our day with each mother/daughter pair allowing us to witness their own gratitude for one another, while receiving inspiration for the multitude of ways that we can be in loving relationships with each other.
No art or dance experience is necessary. This retreat is for adult children only.

Have you wanted to attend Adina's 6 week Sacred Dance Class but don't have the time? Or do you love the idea of dancing for 3 days in a beautiful retreat center in Wisconsin? This 3 day workshop is a way to experience all 6 classes from the current Exploring Stress through Free Form Dance & Movement (from the Our Sacred Bodies Dance Series) (that Adina currently teaches in Iowa City) woven together in a magical time of connecting inward.
Time will be spent dancing, reflecting, sharing and connecting with others who find their body a unique way to connect with the sacred.
This is the amazingly beautiful room that we will be dancing in!
