Energy Balancing with the Pendulum
 
09/18/25 @ 6:00pm -8:00pm
Zoom Nanuet Public Library
Registration is required. 

You will need a pendulum for this class. We will clear, balance, re-energize, restore and renew our Chakra system as well as ground and center our energy and Aura. We will work on ourselves and those we love.

Our chakra system is the foundation for our mental, physical, emotional, spiritual well-being and health. Regularly balancing your chakras will create a sense of wholeness, stability, vibrance and good health. It is like getting your engine checked and your oil changed for good car maintenance and optimal functioning. This technique can be used over and over again, anytime for energy balancing and restoration.

Landscape Architecture of the Hudson Valley (In Person)
 
09/19/25 @ 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Community Room Nanuet Public Library
Registration is required. 

This program showcases the rich legacy of Landscape Architecture in southern New York. Highlighting the work of Calvert Vaux, Frederick Law Olmsted, and Andrew Jackson Downing, Alex Prizgintas explored their rise to fame and most famous projects—much of which can be drawn to the city of Newburgh where the three crossed paths for the first times in the 1850s. Adapted from Alex’s 2021 film documentary produced in part with Marist College’s Hudson River Valley Institute, both Olmsted and Vaux remained tied to the Hudson Valley even after their fame with the construction of Central Park—particularly through Vaux’s architectural works and the business of the Olmsted Bros. firm. This program pays particular attention to two landmarks that received influences from both minds: Middletown’s Hillside Cemetery and Newburgh’s Downing Park, Matthew Vassar’s Springside, the Hudson River State Hospital, and other locations across the Hudson Valley.
