"This meditation session is for everyone – beginner or pro. The purpose of these meditations is to foster our sense of connection within and to others. We will practice some tools to regain our balance of mind and bodies. Research shows that practicing meditation as a skill can help to manage anxiety, stress, and worry. We will practice some skills in compassion and mindfulness meditation to help us cultivate our capacities of friendliness, strength, wisdom, calm, kindness and balance."

One of our staff members will read a children's storybook on video; a new file will be uploaded to our Event Calendar on Saturdays.

Join a Museum Educator -- from The Museum of the American Revolution -- for an exciting look at the Museum’s newest exhibition, When Women Lost the Vote: A Revolutionary Story, 1776-1807. Learn the little-known history of the nation’s first women voters and get a virtual peek at artifacts that tell their stories. This experience also includes a tour of the virtual exhibition as well as a Q&A session. Below is more info about the exhibit. The enitre program will take place over the Zoom video platform (those who register will receive a Zoom invitation before the program). 

Millions of American women were granted the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. But did you know that more than a century earlier, women legally held the right to vote in New Jersey? In a groundbreaking new exhibition, the Museum of the American Revolution will explore the little-known history of the nation’s first women voters — and examine the political conflicts that led to their voting rights being stripped away in 1807. Featuring original objects including textiles, works of art, and newly-discovered poll lists highlighting women voters from the period, the exhibition will bring to life the forgotten stories of the women who first pioneered the vote and became role models for women’s suffragists two generations later.

Discuss the most critical foreign policy issues facing America today.  Watch a half-hour documentary on the topic prior to the meeting. At 7:00 an online discussion will be conducted using Zoom.  Participants must register and provide an email address.  The link to the Zoom meeting will be sent by email 15 minutes prior to the discussion.  

More information on the topics can be found on the Great Decisions Website.
