SUMMARY:Manifestations: A Shaker Ghost Tour
DESCRIPTION:250 years ago\, eight Shakers fled England\, bound for New York in hopes of finding religious freedom. Named for their trembling “religious ecstasies\,” the Shakers received gifts of revelation; communications from the spirit world. Led by a woman whom they called\, “Mother Ann”\, they were subject to bloody persecution. Shakers were beaten\, imprisoned\, abducted\, and chased out of town on both sides of the Atlantic. Undeterred\, they persevered to build their vision of Heaven-on-Earth right here\, in Albany. We invite you to join us as we pull back the veil separating this world from the next at America’s First Shaker Settlement. \nPlease register online at Eventbrite! \n*This ghost tour touches on sensitive topics including sickness\, mental illness\, suicide\, physical abuse\, religious persecution\, and death\, both of children and of adults. If these topics hit too close to home\, we hope that you will take good care and join us for a regular tour another time.

SUMMARY:Kintsugi Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. If a bowl is broken\, rather than discarding the pieces\, the fragments are put back and the cracks are adorned with gold. There are no attempts to hide the damage\, instead\, it is highlighted. The practice has come to represent the idea that beauty can be found in imperfection. The breakage is an opportunity and applying this kind of thinking to instances of failure in our own lives can be helpful. \nJoin Shaker Heritage Society and hvkintsugi for their FINAL kintsugi workshop of 2024! This workshop will be led by local Art Therapist Tara DeLuca. \nDuring the workshop you will connect with your bowl\, break it\, confront the damage and take ownership of the pieces that remain by glueing them back together. \nThe bowl will be changed forever\, just as each person is through their own personal experiences. \nThis is a calming\, shared experience. It is an excellent way to participate in self care. \n“Instead of masking the flaws\, a Japanese way of seeing things is that by highlighting the cracks\, the piece becomes stronger\, more beautiful\, and easier to use.” \nTara provides each participant a bowl\, tools to break the bowl\, paints\, gold\, glue\, and a box to transport your new bowl home in. \nPlease reserve your ticket through Eventbrite!

SUMMARY:There Are NO Black Shakers
DESCRIPTION:There Are NO Black Shakers is a contemporary folk opera re-interpreting traditional Shaker hymns to tell the story of Prime Lane\, a free Black man who joined the Shaker Society in Albany in 1802. Nine years later he renounced the faith\, attempting to take his family with him. When his daughters Betty and Phebe elected to stay in the covenant as Shaker sisters\, Prime sued the Shakers. Not for custody of his daughters\, but for theft of his property. [Born to a formerly enslaved woman whose freedom he bought\, Prime could argue that the Shakers were holding his slaves.]\n\nThere Are NO Black Shakers gives voice to the silent history of the painfully gradual abolition of slavery of African Americans in New York State that\, while resisted by many Abolitionist groups like the Shakers\, remains invisible in the dominant historical narrative.\n\nWritten by Jean-Marc Superville Sovak\, and under the musical direction of award-winning violinist Gwen Laster\, There Are NO Black Shakers includes bassist Damon Banks\, guitarist Patrick Jones\, percussionist Todd Isler and the vocal talent of Aviva Jaye\, Cleo Reed and Lawrence Street.\n\nPlease purchase tickets online at Eventbrite!

SUMMARY:Bleecker Consort Presents: Medieval Sampler & 14th-15th Century Music with Trio Tramontana
DESCRIPTION:Ever hear of a Dulcian\, Shawm\, Cornamuse\, Crumhorn\, Sackbut\, Dulcimer\, or viola da Gamba? \nThese are some of the instruments that will bring the great acoustics of the historic 1848 Meeting House to life during a performance by the Bleecker Consort. The Albany-based group is an early music consort formed in 1988 which specializes in medieval and renaissance music. \nThe variety of instruments played add to the range of musical selections from the Medieval times to the 15th century. The concert will also feature special guests\, Trio Tramontana. While you may have heard renaissance music through madrigals\, the exoticism of medieval music is a delight to the ear. \nConsort members come from a number of professional backgrounds that are as varied as the array of instruments they play: medicine\, music\, university teaching\, library sciences\, astronomy\, biology\, business\, biotechnology\, and instrument repair. You’ll find yourself caught up in their enthusiasm. \nPlease register online at Eventbrite!

SUMMARY:Utopian Dream? - Walking Tour of the Shaker Site
DESCRIPTION:Founded by English mystic Mother Ann Lee\, the Shakers formed small\, thriving villages based upon principles of equality and compassion. A celibate community\, their worship was infused with music and dance. Like other social and religious experiments of their day\, the Believers were seeking to create Heaven on Earth. To what extent did they succeed? \nThis tour will begin and end in the historic Meeting House\, but it will involve walking around parts of the site on uneven ground. There will be an optional “coda” trip to the famous Shaker cemetery\, to which we will drive. \nReserve your tickets now on Eventbrite! \n  \nMore about Ann Sayers \nAnn Sayers is a long-time volunteer at the Shaker Heritage Society. Over the decades\, she has grown a deep interest in the history of the Watervliet “Believers\,” as the Shakers called themselves. Her research has resulted in several published articles\, as well as in her book\, “Their Name is Wicks…”

SUMMARY:Kintsugi Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. If a bowl is broken\, rather than discarding the pieces\, the fragments are put back and the cracks are adorned with gold. There are no attempts to hide the damage\, instead\, it is highlighted. The practice has come to represent the idea that beauty can be found in imperfection. The breakage is an opportunity and applying this kind of thinking to instances of failure in our own lives can be helpful. \nJoin Shaker Heritage Society and hvkintsugi for a unique workshop based on the ancient Japanese practice of Kintsugi. This workshop will be led by local Art Therapist Tara DeLuca. \nDuring the workshop you will connect with your bowl\, break it\, confront the damage and take ownership of the pieces that remain by glueing them back together. \nThe bowl will be changed forever\, just as each person is through their own personal experiences. \nThis is a calming\, shared experience. It is an excellent way to participate in self care. \n“Instead of masking the flaws\, a Japanese way of seeing things is that by highlighting the cracks\, the piece becomes stronger\, more beautiful\, and easier to use.” \nTara provides each participant a bowl\, tools to break the bowl\, paints\, gold\, glue\, and a box to transport your new bowl home in. \nPlease register online at Eventbrite! \nGeneral Admission $80 \nSHS Members $70

SUMMARY:"Land\, Liberty\, and Loss" Reading and Discussion Program
DESCRIPTION:Guided by scholar Dr. Elana Krischer\, Shaker Heritage Society will host four book discussions this spring drawn from Humanities New York’s “Land\, Liberty\, and Loss” Reading and Discussion program. Through these texts we will explore the founding of New York and the United States through the lens of indigenous\, and in particular Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) history\, society\, politics\, and struggle for sovereignty. \nThe Shakers’ arrival in the New World in 1774 places them squarely at the center of the history and legacy of the American Revolution. While ardent pacifists and radically egalitarian\, the early Shakers can also be understood as the beneficiaries of the dispossession of indigenous nations: as 18th century immigrants to the New World\, tenant farmers\, and colonists eager to expand their settlements. This series will explore this broader socio-political context that facilitated the arrival and expansion of the Shaker experiment in the United States. \nWe will be meeting Wednesdays @ 6pm:  \nMarch 6th\, April 3rd\, May 1st\, and June 5th! \nAdmission is FREE\, but RSVP’s are required. Please RSVP at Eventbrite. \n  \nBooks: \nThe Divided Ground: Indians\, Settlers\, and the Northern Borderland of the American Revolution \nWhy You Can’t Teach United States History Without American Indians \nConspiracy of Interests: Iroquois Dispossession and the Rise of New York State \nOur Beloved Kin: A New History of King Philip’s War \nLink to more info: https://humanitiesny.org/our-work/programs/reading-discussion/land-liberty-loss-readings/
