Easton Day is the annual commemoration the 1777 "Feathers of Peace" incident when a party of Burgoyne's Indians set aside hostilities and joined Easton Friends in worship.

"We are fortunate to have Cat Greenstreet," said one of the Meeting's members, "because she has a wealth of experience in helping others see their common humanity - as the Quakers and Indians did during the American Revolution. She will explores the shared habits of the heart that allowed such a moment to occur. Drawing upon her experience as a Courage & Renewal® facilitator, an educator, and a spiritual seeker - she will offer a glimpse into the "five habits of the heart," presented in Healing the Heart of Democracyby Parker J. Palmer, founder of the Center for Courage & Renewal. This program is especially timely and engaging for those of us who are searching for ways to help bridge the division in our country."
