SUMMARY:Wisdom Prairie Workdays
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers are essential partners in our environmental stewardship. Consider joining us for Wisdom Prairie Workdays and volunteer in the restored prairies\, savannas and woodlands at Holy Wisdom Monastery to sustain your spirit and the land. Activities shift seasonally\, with common projects including invasive species removal and seed collecting. \n2024 Wisdom Prairie Workdays\nVolunteer workdays take place year-round on Wednesdays from 9:00-11:30 am. Meet at the kiosk at the top of the monastery building parking lot. Come for all or part of the workday. \nPlease register by emailing Amy Alstad\, aalstad@holywisdommonastery.org. \n________________________________________ \nWhat if none of the workdays don’t align with my schedule?\nConsider coming for a walk on the trails whenever your availability permits. We could always use your help monitoring trail conditions! \nGoals for our trail monitoring program include: \n\nEarly detection of trail issues\nCollecting data on number of trail users\nDiversifying opportunities for volunteers\n\nProtocol for trail monitoring is simple: \nWalk a section – or two or all – of the Holy Wisdom trails and report what you encounter using a simple online form.

SUMMARY:The Quest for Healing and Home – The Great Search 2
DESCRIPTION:The Quest for Healing and Home – The Great Search 2\nWe hope you can join us at Holy Wisdom Monastery for The Quest for Healing and Home – The Great Search 2 from May 9-11\, 2024. \nIn 2022 John Philip Newell began a second series of annual retreats to address the deep spiritual yearnings of this moment in time and to help give birth to new beginnings in our lives and world.  \nThe Great Search 2 is the second of a three-part series of annual retreats led by the Celtic teacher John Philip Newell and his colleague Cami Twilling in which we explore the search for awareness\, the search for spiritual and physical wellness and the search for love. \nThe teachings of this retreat are based on John’s forthcoming book The Great Search: Turning to Earth and Soul in the Quest for Healing and Home\, especially Chapters 4\, 5\, and 6\, drawing on the wisdom of Carl Jung\, Julian of Norwich and Jelalludin Rumi. Until the book is published\, The Rebirthing of God is the recommended reading and Praying with the Earth is the shared prayer book for this retreat. \nThe Great Search 2 can be taken as a stand-alone retreat or in conjunction with The Great Search 1 and The Great Search 3 which can be attended in any order and at any of the participating retreat centers across the country or online. \nFor more information about John Philip Newell\, Earth and Soul or The Great Search initiative\, visit https://www.earthandsoul.org. \nFor more information about the retreat at Holy Wisdom Monastery\, contact Pam Shellberg at pshellberg@holywisdommonastery.org or 608-836-1631\, x126. \nSchedule\nThursday \n\n\n\n4:00-5:00 pm\nCheck-in/Getting Settled\n\n\n\n5:15 pm\nDinner\nMonastery Guest Dining Room\n\n\n6:30 pm\nEvening Prayer (please enter in silence)\nMonastery Assembly Room\n\n\n7:15 pm\nSession 1: Introductory Presentation\nMonastery Assembly Room\n\n\n8:30 pm\nSacred Silence (until breakfast)\n\n\n\n\nFriday \n\n\n\n7:00-8:30 am\nBreakfast (continental for those staying at Holy Wisdom Monastery)\nRetreat & Guest House (RGH) Dining Room\n\n\n8:45 am\nMorning Prayer (enter in silence)\nMonastery Assembly Room\n\n\n9:15 am\nBreak\n\n\n\n9:30 am\nSession 2: Teaching I (enter in silence)\nMonastery Assembly Room\n\n\n10:30 am\nMorning Break\n\n\n\n10:45 am\nSession 3: Spiritual Practice I (enter in silence)\nMonastery Assembly Room\n\n\n12:00 pm\nLunch\nMonastery Guest Dining Room\n\n\n1:30 pm\nSilence (siesta/reading/walking)\n\n\n\n3:30 pm\nSession 4: Spiritual Practice II (enter in silence)\nMonastery Assembly Room\n\n\n4:45 pm\nAfternoon Break\n\n\n\n5:15 pm\nDinner\nMonastery Guest Dining Room\n\n\n6:30 pm\nSession 5: Teaching II (enter in silence)\nMonastery Assembly Room\n\n\n7:30 pm\nWine & Cheese Reception and Book Signing\nMonastery Gathering Area\n\n\n\nSaturday \n\n\n\n7:00-8:30 am\nBreakfast (continental for those staying at Holy Wisdom Monastery)\nRGH Dining Room\n\n\n8:30 am\nMorning Prayer (enter in silence)\nMonastery Assembly Room\n\n\n9:00 am\nBreak\n\n\n\n9:15 am\nSession 6: Teaching III (enter in silence)\nMonastery Assembly Room\n\n\n10:15 am\nMorning Break\n\n\n\n10:45 am\nSession 7: Thanksgiving (enter in silence)\nMonastery Assembly Room\n\n\n12:00 pm\nLunch\nMonastery Guest Dining Room\n\n\n\nDates/Times\n4:00 pm\, May 9 – 1:00 pm May 11\, 2024 \nCost\n$340/person\, includes program and meals\, Thurs. dinner\, Fri. lunch and dinner\, Fri. book signing and reception\, Sat. lunch; does NOT include lodging. \nLimited scholarships are available.

In 2016 he began the Earth & Soul initiative and teaches regularly in the United States and Canada as well as leading international pilgrimage weeks on Iona in the Western Isles of Scotland. \nHis PhD is from the University of Edinburgh and he has authored over 15 books\, including his latest award-winning publication\, Sacred Earth Sacred Soul\, which was the 2022 Gold Winner of the Nautilus Book Award for Spirituality and Religious Thought of the West. His forthcoming book (August 2024)\, also with Harper One\, is The Great Search\, in which he looks at the great spiritual yearnings of humanity today in the context of the decline of religion as we have known it.  \nNewell speaks of himself as ‘a wandering teacher’ following the ancient path of many lone teachers before him in the Celtic tradition\, seeking the wellbeing of the world. He has been described as having ‘the heart of a Celtic bard and the mind of a Celtic scholar’\, combining in his teachings the poetic and the intellectual\, the head as well as the heart\, and spiritual awareness as well as political and ecological concern. \nCami Twilling\, based in Colorado\, is the Director of Earth & Soul (a Celtic initiative of study\, spiritual practice and compassionate action inspired by the teachings of John Philip Newell). As well as heading up the overall work of Earth & Soul\, she facilitates the spiritual practice component of the Earth & Soul Annual Retreats. In addition to leading mountain and urban retreats\, she has led international pilgrimage groups to Iona in the Western Isles of Scotland and work teams to Guatemala to build houses in communities that have suffered from political strife and economic hardship. Cami is passionate about the relationship between spirituality and action and believes that spiritual vision and practice can play a vital role in helping to heal and transform our lives both individually and together. \nView 2023 Photos\n\nRegister\nPlease register by May 1\, 2024. \nThere is a 75% refund for cancellations until May 1\, and a 50% refund for cancellations after May 1 until May 9\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Great Wisconsin Birdathon
DESCRIPTION:Great Wisconsin Birdathon\nThe Great Wisconsin Birdathon is Wisconsin’s largest fundraiser for bird conservation. Each year bird enthusiasts from across the state form teams with the goal of finding as many unique bird species as possible while raising important funds for bird conservation. \nHoly Wisdom Monastery is participating in this event for the fourth time this year! We hope you’ll support our team Wrens of Wisdom Prairie in our efforts to find as many bird species as possible on our property on May 11th\, 2024. \nThere are several ways to participate: \nJoin us for a birding tour or ‘sit’\nWe are offering four walking tours. Group size will be limited to 10 participants. Tour options include 6:30am\, 8:00am\, 10:00am and noon. Birders of all ages and experience levels are welcome\, and the 10:00am tour will be specifically geared towards families. This year\, we are also offering a birding ‘sit\, at 7:30am in which we’ll make ourselves comfy on a bench or platform overlooking Lost Lake and observe activity from that spot\, with minimal walking involved. \nCome birding on your own\nWe invite you to come explore the monastery property Saturday\, May 11th on your own\, and keep track of the birds you see and hear. Submit your list of species to Amy Alstad aalstad@holywisdommonastery.org or 608-836-1631×123. \nSupport Wrens of Wisdom Prairie by making a financial contribution\nAll of the dollars raised will directly support bird conservation. Half of the funds raised will stay at Holy Wisdom Monastery and be used to create and maintain bird habitat here\, with the remaining funds going to the Natural Resources Foundation.
