Soul Pause: Yoga, sound, and stillness for the heart and mind
2026-01-18 16:00 - 17:30 | Wainwright House, 260 Stuyvesant Lane, Rye, NY, 10580, United States
Soul Pause is a 90-minute experience created to soften the nervous system, realign the body, and reconnect you with yourself — while gently shooing away the Sunday Scaries before they have a chance to settle in.
Through a nourishing interplay of yoga, live sound, and intentional stillness, this immersive offering invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and arrive fully in the present moment. Movement and sound weave together — sometimes distinct, sometimes combined — creating a spacious, grounding rhythm that supports rest, release, and renewal. Think of this as a weekly exhale: a pause before the pace picks up again. A place to reset your nervous system, quiet the mind, and step into the week ahead feeling steadier, clearer, and more at ease. Expect a soulful, grounding experience that leaves you feeling restored, supported, and gently fortified for whatever comes next.

Hidden History of Slavery in New York - Film & Discussion
2026-02-11 18:30 - 20:00 | Rye Free Reading Room, 1061 Boston Post Rd., Rye, NY, 10580, United States
The Hidden History of Slavery in New York won an award at the 67th annual NY Emmy Awards. Larry Epstein wrote, produced and researched the project, and he will present this film followed by a Q&A session:

Tejash V. Sanchala, executive director of the Westchester County Human Rights Commission, moderator
James J. Henderson III, president, Port Chester-Rye NAACP
Mayo Bartlett, Esq.
Maddie Morgan, student representative Rye Human Rights Commission

The Hidden History of Slavery in New York is a 30-minute documentary that digs deeply into an infamous chapter in our country that largely hasn’t made its way into the history books. The film features Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. He explains how the Transatlantic slave trade was centered in the north, not the south, in the 17th and 18th century – with New Amsterdam as its epicenter – and Wall Street as its largest slave market. Larry Epstein is a two-time Emmy award-winning documentary and news producer, journalist, writer, anchor and corporate copywriter. Larry is a former executive producer at MSNBC, and former senior-level producer at the Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.
Presented by the Rye Free Reading Room, The Westchester County Human Rights Commission and the Port Chester/Rye NAACP.
