SUMMARY:Paa Kow and The Jumbies
DESCRIPTION:Paa Kow and The Jumbies\, with PhDJ \nThe James Theater\, 213 N Gilbert St\, Iowa City\, IA \nWednesday\, July 24\, 2024\, 7PM Show \nTickets: $20 advance\, $25 Day of show \n  \nPaa Kow is an international drumming sensation who hails from Ghana. He and his band are electric with an uplifting\, dance vibe combining West African highlife\, funk\, jazz\, and virtuosic drumming. Paa Kow has visited us many times in the past\, playing several shows in Iowa City and the surrounding area.

Join us at the James Theater on July 24th for a night of dancing\, music\, and fun! \n  \n“Having toured internationally\, sharing stages with both African and American luminaries including Kojo Antwi\, Amakye Dede and Victor Wooten\, Ghana born drummer and composer\, Paa Kow\, (pronounced Pah-Ko)\, blends rhythm and artistry from his home with jazz and African roots creating his own Afro-Fusion sound. Dubbed “Ghana’s most artistic drummer” (Modern Ghana)\, he plays a custom\, hand-carved\, traditionally inspired Ghanaian drum set that is the only one of its kind in the world\, guaranteeing an extraordinary cultural and musical experience.” \nhttps://www.paakowmusic.com/ \n  \nIowa City’s Jumbies will open for Paa Kow\, and PhDJ will spin tracks all night. We hope to see you there! \n  \nWe will have food trucks selling food at the venue\, along with drinks available for purchase at The James Theater.

SUMMARY:Plein Art Class with Jess Duling on the Lawn at Big Grove Brewery - Iowa City
DESCRIPTION:This is a free plein air painting art sesh on Tuesday July 23rd at Big Grove Brewery in Iowa City. We will be painting a collective still life of items you all bring from home with loose instruction. This event is for all skill levels and ages 12-100. Meet at 5pm to settle in and plan to start painting by 5:30\, we should finish up around 6:30 pm but feel free to stay till 7pm :) \n\n\nSupplies are provided however there’s a limited amount so be sure to get there early if you need materials! \n\nI (Jess\, Refuge Studios) will briefly run down how to work with different painting mediums\, show you how to use a color mixing chart\, and to answer any questions about painting and art; but ultimately you’ll be painting\, experimenting\, and playing on your own! We’ll have everyone introduce themselves and their object and then at the end (if everyone is comfortable) we’ll share what we painted. The goal is not to expect to walk away with a masterpiece (although it’s great if you do!) but rather enjoy a new place in your city\, meet your neighbors\, and play around with art making.\n\nLastly there is no cap on attendance!\n\n\n\nWhat to bring!\n\n\nOne still life item: This could be flowers\, fruit\, a plant\, glassware\, tchotchkes\, an old board game\, books\, candlesticks\, etc. Colorful or unique items are the best for painting but there are so many options for what to bring. Nothing inappropriate and nothing of high value! We’ll be careful but accidents do happen and there may be a slight wind so keep that in mind. Everyone is responsible for their own things.\nPainting/Drawing Materials: We’re able to supply materials for around 20 people but if you have access to materials from home please bring them for yourself so that others may be able to use our supplies. If you want to try our paint just let me know and I’d be happy to fill your palette!\nClipboard or other hard surface to paint on.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event may be outside so you are subject to the elements of nature. Ideally we’ll be outside if it’s not too hot\, otherwise we will be in their event space indoors. Dress and plan appropriately.\nMasks are encouraged but not required. While we may be outside we will still be in close proximity to one another and sharing some supplies. If you are feeling ill please do everyone the courtesy and stay home. There will hopefully be more events so you can catch the next one!\nSome materials will be provided. We are able to provide the painting supplies such as: paper\, brushes\, Holbein paint\, and paint trays. But please remember to bring a clipboard or other hard surface to paint on!\nDo I have to do painting? Nope! You are welcome to bring any drawing/art materials you want from home. I can even fill your palette with the paint if you like. Just know that you are responsible for your own things.\nParking: Big Grove has a large parking lot so there should be plenty of available parking especially during a weekday. If parking is full\, they ask us to not park in the nearby businesses lots. Walking/biking is highly encouraged!\nAccessibility: We will be in the back of Big Grove’s patio area or inside their event space if the weather is too hot. Either way there are plenty of options for comfortable seating and tables to sit at\, so if you require accommodations just let me know! Accessibility parking is available.\nDo I have to spend money for this? Nope! While you are able to buy a drink or snacks to enjoy while we paint there is no obligation to order anything while we enjoy their space.

SUMMARY:Writing Toward Wholeness: A circle of trust retreat with Thomas Dean
DESCRIPTION:Writing can play a powerful role in finding one’s authentic purpose in life—one’s wholeness. Writer\, teacher\, speaker\, and activist Parker Palmer says in his book A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life that life’s external forces and expectations as well as our internal fears and brokenness tend to divide us from that wholeness\, which various cultural and spiritual traditions have called true self\, original nature\, inner teacher\, identity\, integrity\, and soul. Palmer cofounded the Center for Courage and Renewal and originated the Circle of Trust®\, whose principles and practices create trustworthy space for the individual soul to show up. (More information on the Courage and Renewal® approach and Circles of Trust can be found at couragerenewal.org/courage-renewal-approach/.) Using the Circle of Trust approach\, this workshop will place writing front and center as a potent pathway for exploration\, discovery\, reflection\, discernment\, sharing\, and action in one’s journey toward wholeness. Exploring the self lends itself especially to the personal essay and memoir\, though writing in other genres and combinations of genres is certainly invited. Discovering wholeness is a lifelong process\, so writers of any age and at any stage of their writing experience are welcome. \nThomas Dean is a Circle of Trust® facilitator-in-preparation with the Center for Courage and Renewal and is senior presidential writer/editor at the University of Iowa\, where he also teaches interdisciplinary and writing courses. He also has taught in numerous community programs and facilitated workshops and retreats. Thomas’s books include Under a Midland Sky and Tallgrass Conversations: In Search of the Prairie Spirit (co-authored with Cindy Crosby)\, both from Ice Cube Press\, and he has published numerous essays in national and regional academic and general audience publications. He also edited The Grace of Grass and Water\, a collection of essays on the late Minnesota author Paul Gruchow (Ice Cube Press).
