Debra Bruno and Eleanor Mire each grew up knowing nothing of the history of slavery in the Hudson Valley. When they learned that New York's 200 years of slavery began in New Netherland and extended well into colonial times, they were shocked. To their surprise, they also discovered through a Facebook group called "I've Traced My Enslaved Ancestors and Their Owners" that they both descended from families from Greene County, on the west bank of the Hudson. They also learned that Debra's ancestors enslaved Eleanor's ancestors, information that sent them on a dive into even more research, and the eventual truth that their connection was probably also a genetic one. Debra wrote about this story in a 2020 Washington Post Magazine article called "History Lessons." She is currently writing a book, "A Hudson Valley Reckoning: Uncovering the Secrets of Enslavers in My Colonial Dutch Family," with an afterword by Eleanor. This lecture is generously sponsored by the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area. Admission is $10/adults; children 12 and under are FREE. Registration is required at https://www.friendsofclermont.org/events.

Join Cultured Forest for an hour of guided Fall Forest Bathing at Clermont State Historic Site. Forest Bathing is based on a Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku that involves connecting with nature by "Bathing in the Forest Atmosphere". Studies show time in nature lowers blood pressure, boosts immunity, and reduces stress. In this activity, you will indulge with fellow nature lovers in relaxing mindfulness and self-care in a guided outdoor class. Plan to see some of the most peaceful areas of the park, while learning activities that allow you to better connect with yourself and the outdoors. Leave feeling centered and more at peace. Learn how to bring Mindfulness in Nature into your personal Wellness routine. We are excited to end this session with a tea ceremony. Please Note: This will require about a mile of walking, some of which will be up and down steep inclines and over rocks. Please be sure to wear comfortable shoes with tread that can walk over rocks and grass. There will not be a bathroom break during the session, but restrooms are available at the Main Parking lot if you would like to use them before the walk begins. Attendees must be 8 years or older. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Admission is $5. Meet in the Main Parking Lot. Please register at https://www.friendsofclermont.org/events.
