SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION:The Death Café is inspired by the centuries-old European salon (or café)\, an informal gathering to discuss philosophical\, political or scientific ideas. In 2011\, British entrepreneur Jon Underwood brought this concept to discussions of the most universal topic of all: death. Underwood’s intention was to provide an opportunity to “increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their lives.” Today\, there are over 4\,400 Death Cafes in 26 countries around the world. \nGreen-Wood is proud to host monthly gatherings of the Death Café here in our beautiful\, modern chapel. Amy Cunningham\, death educator and creator of the Brooklyn-based blog TheInspiredFuneral.com\, invites participants to share their thoughts and feelings on death. It’s an opportunity for safe and open exchanges\, without an agenda. Tea and light snacks are provided. \n“A place for people to discuss our inevitable fate.” – Gothamist \n“It’s a reversal for American culture\, which for a long time has shied away from these conversations.” – Village Voice \n“[E]ncouraging people to talk about death more freely and naturally.” – Haaretz \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended. Please register using the Eventbrite box below. \nThis program takes place in our Modern Chapel just to the right after passing through the Gothic Arches at the main entrance. All events will take place rain or shine. Click here for our inclement weather policy. \n \nMobile users: Please tap here for free registration.\n

SUMMARY:Become a Citizen Pruner
DESCRIPTION:Stewardship and pruning hugely reduce a tree’s vulnerability to common urban threats such as pedestrian and vehicular traffic\, drought and storms. In New York City\, where there is limited funding for tree maintenance but significant need\, Citizen Pruners provide a great asset to our urban environment. \nThe 12 hour Citizen Pruner Course consists of 5 sessions – 4 in the classroom and 1 field outing. \nPrice: $100\, or $15 for residents of Sunset Park (zip Codes 11232 & 11220) \nCITIZEN PRUNER COURSE DETAILS \n8 hours in the classroom – Students meet for four 2-hour classroom sessions. The comprehensive curriculum includes tree biology\, street tree identification\, common tree problems and solutions\, tree stewardship and pruning. \n4 hours in the field – The Saturday field outing is designed to provide students with the opportunity to practice pruning with their peers under the tutelage of their teacher. \nUpon successful completion of the final exam\, students receive a license from Trees New York and NYCParks to legally prune NYC street trees. Trees New York is the only institution designated to train and license Citizen Pruners in New York City. \nCourse policies: Students may miss one classroom session if necessary. The weekend field outing is mandatory. All sessions must be taken at the same location. The non-refundable course fee is $100 and includes a comprehensive manual and supplementary materials. Scholarships available to people who live or work in Greenpoint\, Brooklyn 11222 or Sunset Park 11232 & 11220 \nTreesNY is the only institution designated by NYCParks to license New Yorkers to legally prune street trees. \n*** \nGive Trees a Chance: Environmental Justice in South Brooklyn  \nGreen-Wood’s own neighborhood\, Sunset Park\, is one of the fastest growing and most diverse neighborhoods in all of New York City. Yet\, it also faces serious environmental challenges. Car and truck exhaust from the Gowanus Expressway and industrial emissions from its small manufacturers create higher than average levels of harmful air pollution. Street trees to the rescue! They’re nature’s miracle workers: they intercept and absorb storm water runoff\, provide oxygen\, fight climate change\, and lower air temperatures. \nThe 6\,500 street trees of Sunset Park have a job to do. And they need all the help they can get! Together with TreesNY\, Green-Wood’s horticulture staff is training a team of tree advocates! If you care about the environment\, join us. Visit TreesNY’s website\, www.treesny.org\, for more information and to reserve your space. \nFunding for this project is provided by the NYS Environmental Protection Fund as administered by the Environmental Justice Community Impact Grant Program of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:  Exit Music
DESCRIPTION:Courtesy of Cameron Mullenneaux\n*New York Premiere* \nBorn with cystic fibrosis\, 28-year-old Ethan Rice has been preparing to die his entire life. His father Ed\, a Vietnam veteran with PTSD\, immersed him in a world of imagination and documented it on camera\, a hobby that provided relief from the fear of his son’s prognosis and his own painful past. Equal parts comedy and darkness\, Exit Music is the last year\, last breath\, and final creative act of Ethan as he awaits the inevitable. Interweaving home movies with Ethan’s original music and animation\, his story is an unflinching meditation on mortality and invites the viewer to experience Ethan’s transition from reality to memory. In a culture that often looks away from death\, this film demystifies the dying process\, a universal cornerstone of the human experience. \nAfter the screening\, filmmaker Cameron Mullenneaux will be in conversation with Green-Wood’s Death Educator Amy Cunningham. \n7:45 PM: Doors Open\n8:30 PM: Live Music by Samuel R Saffery\n9:00 PM: Film Begins\n10:30 PM: Q&A\n11:00 PM: After-Party Sponsored by Corona Extra\, Ketel One Family Made Vodka and Fever-Tree \nClick here to purchase tickets.

SUMMARY:Death and Dying in the LGBTQ Community
DESCRIPTION:Credit: William Wood\nDeath is notable for its universality\, but death and dying are often experienced differently by those in the LGBTQ community.  Disparities associated with social inequality as well as institutionalized homophobia and transphobia greatly affect the mental and physical health of LBGTQ persons worldwide. The Center for Disease Control stresses the “need for culturally competent medical care and prevention services” specific to this population. \nJoin death educator Amy Cunningham\, trust and  estate attorney Michael Bond\, Esq.\, funeral celebrant Donna Henes\, and Teresa Theophano\, Assistant Director of Care Management Services at SAGE\, the advocacy group for LGBTQ elders\, in a conversation about death\, dying\, and  funeral rituals in the LGBTQ community. Panelists will explore a range of topics\, including historic precedents (among them the discovery of a same sex couple’s tomb in ancient Egypt)\, the impact of the AIDS epidemic on the rise of alternative bereavement\, and the creation of non-traditional families when many churches and  families of LGBTQ people turned their backs on – or failed to recognize – their LGBTQ members.  Attendees will also learn about vital end-of-life related planning materials. \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: New York Non-Fiction (Short Films)
DESCRIPTION:In 1886\, The New York Times reported that “It is the ambition of the New Yorker to live upon Fifth Avenue\, to take his airings in the [Central] Park\, and to sleep with his fathers in Green-Wood.” On this night\, among the fathers and mothers resting in Green-Wood\, we celebrate New Yorkers\, all New Yorkers. From the neighborhood veterans\, creepy craigslist roommates\, and preachers on the corner\, to the weirdos wantonly disrupting traffic\, the activists fighting gentrification\, and the people who just gentrified your neighborhood\, this is a night of stories about you and the other 8.5 million people who live in this city. Whether they are liberated by their creativity or imprisoned by government contractors\, the protagonists of these short films are real and they are your neighbors. Come\, grab a slice\, and hang out with your city. \n7:45 PM: Doors Open\n8:30 PM: Live Music\n9:00 PM: Films Begin\n10:30 PM: After-Party Sponsored by Corona Extra\, Ketel One Family Made Vodka and Fever-Tree \nClick here to purchase tickets.

SUMMARY:Planting for the Next Century
DESCRIPTION: \n \nJoseph Charap\, Green-Wood’s Director of Horticulture\, and Sam Bishop\, TreesNY’s Education Director\, lead a walk about planting trees for the next century. \n \n*** \nGive Trees a Chance: Environmental Justice in South Brooklyn  \nGreen-Wood’s own neighborhood\, Sunset Park\, is one of the fastest growing and most diverse neighborhoods in all of New York City. Yet\, it also faces serious environmental challenges. Car and truck exhaust from the Gowanus Expressway and industrial emissions from its small manufacturers create higher than average levels of harmful air pollution. Street trees to the rescue! They’re nature’s miracle workers: they intercept and absorb storm water runoff\, provide oxygen\, fight climate change\, and lower air temperatures. \nThe 6\,500 street trees of Sunset Park have a job to do. And they need all the help they can get! Together with TreesNY\, Green-Wood’s horticulture staff is training a team of tree advocates! If you care about the environment\, join us. Visit TreesNY’s website\, www.treesny.org\, for more information and to RSVP for these free programs. \nFunding for this project is provided by the NYS Environmental Protection Fund as administered by the Environmental Justice Community Impact Grant Program of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Wild Nights with Emily
DESCRIPTION:Courtesy of Anna Stypko\nFresh off its SXSW premiere\, the dramatic comedy Wild Nights with Emily stars Molly Shannon as the poet Emily Dickinson. The film was inspired by an article in the New York Times that documented how infrared technologies restored erasures that hid romantic content in Dickinson’s letters. The poet’s persona\, popularized since her death\, was that of a reclusive spinster – a delicate wallflower\, too sensitive for this world. This film explores her passionate\, vivacious side that was covered up for years – most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman (Susan Ziegler). After Emily died\, a rivalry emerged when her brother’s mistress (Amy Seimetz) along with editor T.W. Higginson (Brett Gelman) published a book of Emily’s poems. Irreverent and surreal\, Wild Nights was one of “The 50 Most Anticipated American Independent Films of 2018” (Filmmaker Magazine); you will never look at Dickinson the same way again. \n7:45 PM: Doors Open\n8:30 PM: Live Music\n9:00 PM: Film Begins\n10:30 PM: Q&A\n11:00 PM: After-Party Sponsored by Corona Extra\, Ketel One Family Made Vodka and Fever-Tree \nClick here to purchase tickets.
