Mid-Day Meditation Online with Keith Conover
Meditation Online | Second Thursday of Each Month | 1:00PM
Join us on February 12th for a 20-minute online guided meditation designed to offer a moment of pause, reflection, and connection. This free community program invites participants to slow down, restore focus, and engage mindfully with history and place.
Each session is gentle and accessible, welcoming all levels of experience. Thoughtfully guided and intentionally brief, the practice offers a mid-day reset, and opportunity to breathe, listen, and reflect within a shared cultural context.
This program is offered free of charge as part of our ongoing commitment to community wellness and engagement. Advance registration is required to receive the link. Click here to register.
Cowboys and Skinners: The Perilous Life in the Neutral Ground
Hear Jan Kelsey, Rye resident, President of the Board of Trustees of the Westchester Historical Society, and former archivist for the Rye Historical Society, discuss the Cowboys and Skinners, two notorious gangs that ravaged Rye and Westchester County during the Revolutionary War. Our communities endured 7 years of fear and lawlessness from 1776 to 1783 as they faced foraging troops, gangs of marauders, military skirmishes, economic hardship and political upheaval on a daily basis. Families had divided loyalties and many fled to either New York or Connecticut to escape the violence of the so-called “Neutral Ground.”
