In all its variations\, it reflects the life of societies—their political systems\, social customs\, norms\, values\, and religious beliefs. This evening’s presentation\, led by Dr. Kami Fletcher\, focuses on how systems of power and privilege were passed through deathways (ways of dying which can also include burial practices\, funerals\, mourning\, and body care)\, either by force\, coercion\, or assimilation. She will highlight why it is imperative to recognize how European colonialism has marginalized\, trivialized\, and outright negated the deathways and death practices of nations\, cultures\, and persons deemed ‘other’. \n\n\n\nDr. Fletcher is an Associate professor of American & African American History at Albright College. She recently served as editor and contributor to Till Death Do Us Part: American Ethnic Cemeteries as Borders Uncrossed. She is currently co-authoring First 100 Years of Black Undertaking in Baltimore and co-editing Southern Cemeteries\, Imprints of Southern Culture. Dr. Fletcher serves as the president for The Collective for Radical Death Studies.  \n\n\n\nThis program is presented as part of a new Death Education series at Green-Wood\, Death & Us. Death is the great universal\, but the ways in which the dead are grieved and memorialized vary across racial\, cultural\, and economic divides in the United States. This series brings together a myriad of voices—from historians and preservationists to activists and funeral practitioners—to explore how diverse communities mourn and commemorate the departed from our nation’s founding to today. \n\n\n\n\n\nFree\, suggested donation $10. Please consider a donation to Green-Wood when reserving your ticket. Your donation will help ensure that we can continue to provide engaging and thought provoking programs in death education at little or no cost to you. A Zoom link will be in your confirmation email upon registration.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\nGet Tickets on Eventbrite URL:https://www.green-wood.com/event/decolonizing-death-studies/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.green-wood.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Decolonizing-Death.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210507T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210507T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T160313 CREATED:20210315T132850Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210512T202751Z UID:10033283-1620414000-1620421200@www.green-wood.com SUMMARY:Green-Wood After Hours DESCRIPTION:Long after Green-Wood’s gates close to the public\, explore its historic grounds under the cover of night.

Warbler songs will be replaced by chirring cicadas and the tweets of fledgling birds. Butterflies and dragonflies are abundant.

And a Victorian-era cemetery\, like Green-Wood\, has an abundance of these heartbreaking stories.

Expert storyteller\, writer\, and comic Tara Clancy hosts this not to be missed event\, where you (yes you!)\, the audience members\, vote on which Victorian tale is to be crowned as the most tragic.

Throughout the night\, you can try your luck at Victorian-era trivia with some great Green-Wood prizes for the most knowledgeable (or just plain lucky). Be sure to bring tissues. Fainting couches not provided. \n\n\n\nArrive at the time on your ticket. The event begins at 8:30pm.  Attendees are expected to follow all necessary health and safety protocols as directed by the Cemetery’s staff and volunteers.  \n\n\n\n\n\n$35 / $30 for members.

Barbara Becker’s highly anticipated memoir Heartwood: The Art of Living with the End in Mind reminds us of this cornerstone belief of death literacy. \n\n\n\nThe term “heartwood” refers to the core of a tree—the part that is no longer living\, but supports the newer growth rings that surround it. To Barbara\, it’s “a reminder to embrace the inseparability of life and death… a message of wholeness.” \n\n\n\nJoin us for this special virtual conversation with the author and her beloved Zen teacher Robert Chodo Campbell as they navigate the broad questions of the paradoxical marriage of life and death\, and delve into the meaningful personal stories Barbara shares in her book.  \n\n\n\n\n\nHeartwood is available for sale through our Brooklyn-based neighbor\, Uncommon Goods. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“In Heartwood\, Barbara Becker inspires us to follow our curiosity into a world that is both universal and a source of our uniqueness. And what could be better than that?”– Gloria Steinem \n\n\n\nBarbara Becker is a writer and ordained interfaith minister who has dedicated more than twenty-five years to partnering with human rights advocates around the world in pursuit of peace and interreligious understanding. She has worked with the United Nations\, Human Rights First\, the Ms. Foundation for Women\, and the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh\, and has participated in a delegation of Zen Peacemakers and Lakota elders in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota. She has sat with hundreds of people at the end of their lives and views each as a teacher.  \n\n\n\nSensei Robert Chodo Campbell\, is a co-founder of the New York Zen Center for contemplative Care\, —a non-profit organization that focuses on the teaching of Zen and Buddhist practice with the goal to make them more accessible to people all around the world. The center delivers contemplative approaches to care through education\, personal caregiving\, and meditation practice. Chodo is a dynamic\, grounded\, and visionary leader and teacher: he has traveled extensively throughout the United States instructing in various institutions. Sixty-thousand people listen to his podcasts each year. His passion lies in bereavement counseling and advocating for change in the way our healthcare institutions work with the dying.  URL:https://www.green-wood.com/event/heartwood-an-evening-on-the-art-of-living-with-the-end-in-mind/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.green-wood.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/heartwood-featured.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210517T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210517T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T160313 CREATED:20210429T175508Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210429T175631Z UID:10033398-1621274400-1621281600@www.green-wood.com SUMMARY:Breadths of Listening at Twilight DESCRIPTION:Gelsey Bell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this special site-specific program—part walking tour\, part performance—participants are led through Green-Wood’s winding paths and roads to encounter music embedded in and responding to the bucolic spring landscape. Scattered across the Cemetery’s rolling hills and in the Catacombs\, celebrated improvisers Gelsey Bell (voice)\, Shayna Dunkleman (percussion)\, gamin (piri and saenghwang)\, Darius Jones (alto saxophone)\, Erin Rogers (tenor saxophone)\, and David Watson (great highland bagpipe) will perform three sets of unamplified duets that investigate sound over distance.

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.

Learn more about some of the Cemetery’s most extraordinary and prodigious resting sites\, including those of seventeen-year-old Charlotte Canda\, aspiring Mayoral candidate John Anderson\, and John Matthews—America’s “soda fountain king.” \n\n\n\nWhile we can’t actually bring the bar or the drinks to you\, we can offer some history on tap! Bring your own beverage–why not try our recommended cocktail of the evening–and raise a glass to the past as we stay connected through our latest series\, History Happy Hour. \n\n\n\n\n\n$9 / $4 for members.
