SUMMARY:Reborn: Musical Innovations with the Bigelow Chapel Organ Pipes
DESCRIPTION:Join 2023-2024 Artist-in-Residence Eden Rayz for a death-aware musical performance that celebrates the 100th Anniversary homecoming of the Bigelow Chapel pipe organ* after it was decommissioned by Mount Auburn and reformed by Eden as a new multi-component instrument called Argent and Sable**. Performed alongside the cello with vocals\, electronics\, and percussionist Austin Birdy\, Eden’s original compositions\, “Aboriginal Sensible Muchness” and the world-premier of “Lux Aeterna” (“Eternal Light”) will explore collective grief\, reinvention\, ritual\, and the abstraction of time.   \n\n\nAttendees are encouraged to listen\, meditate\, and even participate as vocalists (no experience necessary). The one-hour performance will be recorded live\, and attendees may pre-order Eden’s limited-release album\, The Cemetery Tapes\, at the event with an exclusive QR code.   \n\n\n*In October 1924\, a Hook & Hastings pipe organ was installed in Bigelow Chapel as part of an interior renovation by Architects Allen and Collens\, reflecting a return to a more traditional setting for funeral and memorials services. Over the next several decades\, the Cemetery received fewer requests to use the organ for services and the cost of repairs and restoration increased. In December 2022\, the organ was de-accessioned and removed from the Chapel. Today\, only the organ’s altar façade remains. \n\n\n**“Argent” refers to the silver color of the principal pipes and “sable” refers to black\, the absence of color worn in mourning.   \n\n\n Event capacity: 75 people  \nREGISTER NOW >>\n\n\n…   \n\n\nEDEN RAYZ is a Boston-based composer\, cellist\, and vocalist. In May of 2022\, she self-released her debut solo album Corpus Vice. The album was written in response to climate grief and as functional music to aid listeners in introspection.

SUMMARY:Sense & Sensuality: Writing with the Five Senses
DESCRIPTION:“I am not an intellectual\, I write with my body\,” wrote Clarice Lispector in 1977. \nWhat is it to write with the body? What is it to drop out of the brain and into bowels (or lower) and write from there? How can we channel our senses to enliven our writing? And how do we access the deeper\, darker\, messier\, and more physical places and bring them to the page?  \n\n\nIn this workshop\, led by award-winning author and memoirist Nina MacLaughlin\, in the charged space of the cemetery and through a series of exercises focusing on the senses\, we’ll practice engaging the whole body in our writing. Letting our brains step out of the way\, we’ll explore how bringing taste\, touch\, smell\, sight\, sound to the work — and how they mingle with the mind — can richen and deepen not only your writing\, but how you move through the world. Participants will learn how to use the body to create rich and sensual writing in any genre. \n\n\nThe workshop will take place in the Bigelow Chapel glass wing. Check in will take place at Bigelow Chapel.  \n\n\nEvent Capacity: 15 people \nREGISTER NOW >>\n… \nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free access to all our public programs and discounts on special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn.

DESCRIPTION:“…It is the duty of the living thus to provide for the dead. It is not a mere office of pious regard for others; but it comes home to our own bosoms\, as those who are soon to enter upon the common inheritance.” ~Joseph Story\, Mount Auburn Cemetery Consecration address\, 1831 \nFor nearly two hundred years\, Mount Auburn Cemetery has been a cradle of invariable death and vibrant life. A thoughtfully humanized ecosystem\, the landscape is sculpted and cared for by staff and volunteers who preserve the Cemetery’s natural wonders for both the living and the dead. \nAn (Un)common Inheritance is the story of a place where little brown bats and yellow-spotted salamanders roam on wet spring nights\, where busy pollinators buzz between the flowers and toads sing at the edges of the ponds\, where Horticulture staff tend to thousands of trees and plants\, and where volunteers study the land as it slips through the seasons. \nJoin Mount Auburn Artist-in-Residence Billy Hickey as he takes you on an outdoor photographic journey through an exhibition of his photos placed throughout the grounds that showcase the vibrant Cemetery ecosystem. After the tour\, we will meet in Story Chapel for a brief Q&A with the artist. \nCheck-in on Bigelow Chapel Lawn \nCapacity: 35 people (per day) \nREGISTER NOW >>

SUMMARY:Therapeutic Community Art Workshop: Creating Portable Shrines for Your Loved One(s)
DESCRIPTION:In this therapeutic art workshop\, participants will be guided in creating a personal\, portable shrine to honor and remember a lost loved one. We’ll use small boxes or tins to memorialize and honor things we hold dear to us (e.g. a loved one\, a pet\, our ancestors\, a special community member\, or a place).  \n\n\nThe workshop will provide participants with an arts-based experience that focuses on creating an open and supportive space for us to explore grief and loss free of shame\, to honor who/what we’ve lost\, and to experience a sense of belonging\, validation\, and community support.  \n\n\nAll necessary art materials will be provided. However\, participants are encouraged to bring meaningful objects to honor their loved one(s)\, such as: photographs\, jewelry\, small scraps of clothing\, fabric\, ribbon\, natural objects\, or any preferred art materials. No artistic experience necessary. All skill levels are welcome. \n\nThe workshop will take place in the Story Chapel. \n\n\nEvent capacity: 12 people  \nREGISTER NOW >>\n… \n\n\n\nDr. Lauren Leone (she/her) is an artist\, board-certified therapist\, and licensed mental health counselor. Lauren works with art therapy participants in clinical and community-based settings in Massachusetts. \n\n\n… \nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free access to all our public programs and discounts on special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn.
