SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION: \n \n \nThe Death Café is a simple concept. It was inspired by the centuries-old European salon (or café) where people gathered informally to discuss philosophical\, political or scientific ideas. In 2011\, British entrepreneur Jon Underwood brought the 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 1\,500 death cafes in 26 countries around the world. \n \nBeginning in January 2017\, Green-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. Coffee and light snacks are provided. \n \n“A place for people to discuss our inevitable fate” – Gothamist \n \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended. Please register using the Eventbrite box below. \n \nAll events will take place rain or shine.

SUMMARY:(Sold Out) Black in 19th-Century Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. Make sure you never miss out on tickets again! Green-Wood members get access to tickets weeks before the general public. Join today. \nIn 1838\, just eleven years after New York State abolished slavery\, a free black man named James Weeks made his first purchase of land in Brooklyn. Weeksville\, named after Weeks\, would become one of America’s largest free Black communities prior to the Civil War. In the same year\, Green-Wood Cemetery was established. What do they have in common? Both honor the lives of African Americans who lived in Brooklyn and who made their mark on the city’s past and future. Nearly two hundred years later\, Green-Wood and Weeksville Heritage Center join together to celebrate and recognize their shared history by welcoming you to a very special Saturday afternoon. \nAboard Green-Wood’s trolley\, you’ll begin your tour with a survey of the many prominent Black New Yorkers and abolitionists laid to rest here\, including Margaret Pine (1778-1857)\, the last woman to have lived as a slave in New York\, Susan Smith McKinney Steward (1847-1918)\, whose family owned land in Weeksville and who became first black female doctor in the state\, and the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (1959-1988)\, among many others. Then we head to Weeksville in Crown Heights\, now Brooklyn’s largest African-American cultural institution\, to see the new permanent exhibition Weeksville\, Transforming Community/In Pursuit of Freedom and the 19th-century Hunterfly Road houses. This trolley tour begins and ends at Green-Wood. A box lunch will be provided\, and we’ll dine in the new and beautiful main room of the Weeksville Heritage Center. Please email events@green-wood.com with any food allergies. \n$35 for members of Green-Wood and BHS/$40 for non-members. \nGreen-Wood trolley tours are fully accessible and ADA compliant. In order to accommodate a wheelchair or other mobility device on the trolley\, advance arrangements must be made. Please call (718) 210-3080\, ext. 1. Please note that portions of the tour take place outside the trolley and may require exiting the vehicle on multiple occasions. Please contact the Historic Fund for more information. \nTrolley tours are run rain or shine\, with the exception of dangerous conditions as determined by Green-Wood.

SUMMARY:When The Bell Tolls
DESCRIPTION:Are we ever really ready for the time when the bell tolls? If we’re open to talking about it\, we might be a least a little more prepared.

Eerdmans Publishing Company)\, Amy Cunningham (blogger at The Inspired Funeral and founder of Fitting Tribute Funeral Services)\, and Benjamin Mitchell-Yellin (Near-Death Experiences: Understanding Visions of the Afterlife\, published by Oxford University Press).  \nPresented in partnership with Forum @ St. Ann’s.

SUMMARY:(Sold Out) Common Shade: Death\, Dying\, and Buddhist Insights
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Steven Acres\nThis event is sold out. Make sure you never miss out on tickets again! Green-Wood members get access to tickets weeks before the general public. Join today. \n \nAlthough it may sound counterintuitive\, taking time to contemplate death often works to reduce anxiety and suffering and increase happiness. Meditation and Buddhist practice have always advocated for the daily reflection on death: its inevitability and unpredictability.  Confronting death helps us to overcome our fear and to develop an acceptance of death as a natural part of life. It serves to remind us of the preciousness of our time\, and helps lessen the surprise and anguish when loved ones pass away. Discuss the how’s and why’s behind the practice with Bhante Suddhāso\, a Western Buddhist monk and co-founder of Buddhist Insights\, an organization connecting laypeople to monastics in both secular and non-secular spaces. He’ll lead a guided meditation in Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel before answering questions from Common Shade host Evan Michelson and you. \n \nMorbid Anatomy Museum and Green-Wood present Common Shade – a dialogue existing on the borderlands between the living and the dead. Hosted in Green-Wood’s intimate Historic Chapel\, Common Shade will cultivate a social space for death – a place to examine death’s prevalence in our lives\, and its shifting place in history\, art\, culture\, and society. Drawing from Green-Wood’s bucolic setting and using history as our anchor\, each night’s presentations will include dialogue and interviews with guests. Together with artists\, practitioners\, scholars\, and peers\, Common Shade discussions will explore our humble acknowledgments of and engagements with death. \n \n$20 for members of Green-Wood\, Morbid Anatomy Museum and BHS/$25 for non-members. Drinks will be available for purchase during the event (free for Key Holder members with proof of membership). \n \nGreen-Wood trolley tours are fully accessible and ADA compliant. Historic Green-Wood structures\, like the Historic Chapel\, may not be fully accessible for some individuals. Please call (718) 210-3080\, ext. 1 for more information. \n \nClick here for our inclement weather policy.

SUMMARY:(Sold Out) Love Immemorial
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Nancy Rosin\n \nThis event is sold out. Make sure you never miss out on tickets again! Green-Wood members get access to tickets weeks before the general public. Join today. \nJoin Nancy Rosin\, President of the National Valentine Collectors Association\, for this time-traveling presentation on valentines and other items that serve as expressions of love. In today’s world\, valentines are generally relegated to children’s classrooms\, but in the Victorian era (and before) there was a real need to give and receive tokens of love. Life was often shorter\, distances longer\, and sometimes friends\, family\, and lovers said goodbye without knowing if they’d ever communicate again. Objects of affection – be they romantic cards\, hand-carved coins\, locks of hair\, or more – were touchstones for those left behind. Those traditions continued in death and mourning\, and in many ways influenced the way we celebrate our modern Valentine’s Day.  \nIn Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel\, Rosin will discuss the history of this time-honored tradition\, and display many pieces from her impressive collection of historic items. After the talk\, a trolley tour through Green-Wood (including toasty beverages!) will feature expressions of love rendered in stone\, on the monuments and memorials of many permanent residents. \n$20 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $25 for non-members. Seating is limited\, and reservations are recommended. \nGreen-Wood trolley tours are fully accessible and ADA compliant. \nClick here for our inclement weather policy.

And just like any other visual art\, popularity of styles shift and change with the cultural at large. Join Eva Bowerman\, Chair of the New York Chapter of the Association for Gravestone Studies\, for a look at American monuments and memorialization through the years. Why were certain styles more popular than others\, and what outside forces influenced prevailing memorialization customs? Eva’s background in art history informs her view of the shifting popularity of styles and customs regarding tombstones and monuments. She’ll examine the American monument landscape at large\, and touch on specific examples you can find in Green-Wood. After the presentation\, a discussion will follow with Eva and Common Shade moderator Evan Michelson. \n \nMorbid Anatomy Museum and Green-Wood present Common Shade – a dialogue existing on the borderlands between the living and the dead. Hosted in Green-Wood’s intimate Historic Chapel\, Common Shade will cultivate a social space for death – a place to examine death’s prevalence in our lives\, and its shifting place in history\, art\, culture\, and society. Drawing from Green-Wood’s bucolic setting and using history as our anchor\, each night’s presentations will include dialogue and interviews with guests. Together with artists\, practitioners\, scholars\, and peers\, Common Shade discussions will explore our humble acknowledgments of and engagements with death. \n \n$25 for non-members / $20 for members of Green-Wood\, BHS and the Morbid Anatomy Museum.
