Upcoming Events
Lecture: Nostalgic New York - 1950s, 1960s & 1970s with the Zuckermans
During this presentation you will experience New York in the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s. It is a time-capsule visit and nostalgic approach to these decades. We will discuss themes such as clothing styles, architecture, music, entertainment, civil rights, political accomplishments and disasters, and many more. Remember how old you were and where you were when such events as Kennedy’s assassination, Elvis’s appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, Miss Subways, Marilyn Monroe at Madison Square Garden, as well as, some of your childhood toys, what movies were must-seen, your first car purchase and many other memories. Join us for memorable journey back throughout the New York of past decades. Registration is not required
Evening Meditation
Join facilitator Hildur Palsdottir for an evening nature-based mindfulness and meditation on the first Thursday of every month. In the Summer months, classes will be held outdoors in the Hempstead House Garden, weather permitting. With these sessions we will explore techniques specifically aimed at stress reduction. Regular meditation practice can improve attention and focus, helps with mood regulation, reduces suffering, and helps with cultivating a better outlook on life.
