SUMMARY:Second Saturdays - Forest Bathing
DESCRIPTION:Through outdoor mindfulness\, we will bring the practice of Shinrin-yoku\, or forest bathing\, to Stenton\n\n\nIs it possible to “feel” history? The layers of history at Stenton are many\, visible\, and profound. They are seen in its natural and human-made features. They are echoed in the sights\, sounds\, smells\, and feel of the place. Through outdoor mindfulness\, we will bring the practice of Shinrin-yoku\, or forest bathing\, to Stenton. Forest bathing has been shown to provide tremendous health benefits including stress reduction\, improved immune function\, and a greater ability to concentrate. At Stenton\, we hope this embodied experience of history will cultivate a richer sense of understanding\, connection\, and belonging.  The session will be approximately 90-minutes long and is conducted in relative silence. We begin with warm-ups\, centering\, and breathing exercises to connect participants to their bodies and the world around them. These are followed by a walk and an extended sit which encourages participants to become more fully open and present to their surroundings. We conclude with a returning ritual\, a chance to reflect on the experience and understand how the practice can be used in daily life. This time in nature will not be strenuous; all skill levels and most abilities can be accommodated. RSVPs are required to participate in this session because space is limited! \nThis session will be guided by Susan West Montgomery – https://www.susanwestmontgomery.com/  \n \nAbout Stenton Second Saturdays – Stenton will be open for FREE tours\, beginning on the hour from 12pm-4pm. Forest bathing spaces are limited\, so RSVPs are REQUIRED for the session\, but no RSVPs are required for the free museum tours.

SUMMARY:Lunch+Learn Prisoners of Congress: Philadelphia’s Quakers in Exile\, 1777-78
DESCRIPTION:Author Norman E. Donoghue II will discuss his new book\, “Prisoners of Congress: Philadelphia’s Quakers in Exile\, 1777-1778.”\n\n\nBring your lunch to Stenton for a special ‘Lunch + Learn’ program where author Norman E. Donoghue II will discuss his new book\, “Prisoners of Congress: Philadelphia’s Quakers in Exile\, 1777-1778.”\n \nIn 1777\, Congress labeled Quakers who would not take up arms in support of the War of Independence as “the most Dangerous Enemies America knows” and ordered Pennsylvania and Delaware to apprehend them. In response\, Keystone State officials sent twenty men—seventeen of whom were Quakers—into exile\, banishing them to Virginia\, where they were held for a year.\n \nPrisoners of Congress reconstructs this moment in American history through the experiences of four families: the Drinkers\, the Fishers\, the Pembertons\, and the Gilpins. Identifying them as the new nation’s first political prisoners\, Norman E. Donoghue II relates how the Quakers\, once the preeminent power in Pennsylvania and an integral constituency of the colonies and early republic\, came to be reviled by patriots who saw refusal to fight the English as borderline sedition.\n \nSurprising\, vital\, and vividly told\, this narrative of political and literal warfare waged by the United States against a pacifist religious group during the Revolutionary War era sheds new light on an essential aspect of American history. It will appeal to anyone interested in learning more about the nation’s founding. \n \nTo learn more about Philadelphia and the Revolutionary War\, visit Cliveden on Saturday\, October 7th from 10am-4pm for the Revolutionary Germantown Festival!
