SUMMARY:Moving Through Grief to Gratitude
DESCRIPTION:“Gratitude and grief may seem to be in tension with one another\, but gratitude and loss are inseparable. Awareness of what is present calls forth what is absent.” –Oren Jay Sofer \nLed by dancer and Artist-in-Residence Lonnie Stanton\, this adult workshop is rooted in yoga\, initiating movement through intentional breathwork. Using somatic* movement techniques\, we will gain full-body awareness that focuses on your internal physical experience. All bodies are welcome! \nMovement and exercise have been known to ease tension in the body and relieve pain. Using simple physical movements and gestures\, we will gently release and exhale what weighs on us and inhale gratitude through the body. With time we will settle on mats or in chairs\, and focus on more traditional yoga sequencing. \nREGISTER NOW >>\nPlease wear clothes you are comfortable moving in and bring a mat or towel to sit on. We will have folding chairs available for those who would like to use them. Check-in will be outside Story Chapel and we will travel as a group to the workshop location at Auburn Lake. \nEvent Capacity: 15 people \nCheck-in at Story Chapel \n*Somatic movement is a gentle\, mindful\, and body-oriented practice that involves being present during movement in order to feel more connected to your body. It focuses on the internal experience and feelings connected to movement rather than pushing your body to move in a certain way. \n… \nLonnie Stanton (she/her\, they/them)\, dancer/choreographer \nLonnie Anela O’kalani Neff Stanton is a proud native Hawaiian based in Boston. She is a professional dancer\, dance educator\, and certified yoga instructor. She currently performs with Jean Appolon Expressions\, Peter DiMuro\, Lynn Modell\, and Continuum Dance. Formerly\, she worked as a performer and teacher for 10 years with Prometheus Dance.

In 2021\, she choreographed auditory movement maps for American Repertory Theater’s Arboretum Experience. Lonnie is on faculty at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee and The Harvard Dance Center. \n\n\n…  \n\n\n\nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free or discounted access to all our public programs and special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn.

SUMMARY:Sensing Mount Auburn
DESCRIPTION:The human body is remarkable in its ability to perceive the environment through a wide spectrum of senses. Smell\, touch\, and taste often have the strongest connections to memories\, yet we almost exclusively document the environment through visual means. The power of these senses lies in their ability to evoke emotions and recollections\, creating a deeper and more intimate connection with our surroundings. By engaging our full sensory palette\, we unlock a richer\, more immersive understanding of the world around us.  \nJoin Adam Molinski and Yufan Gao\, 2024-2025 Artists-in-Residence and landscape architecture faculty at the Boston Architectural College\, for a guided\, meditative walk that uses a series of devices and exercises to intentionally defocus participants’ familiar ways of seeing the landscape\, bringing attention to more than just the visual aspects of the landscape experience.  \nTo trace their experiences\, feelings\, conscious and subconscious thoughts\, participants will leave marks of abstract drawings and words. Collectively\, over the course of the next year\, these drawings and words will form a multi-sensory\, temporal map of Mount Auburn.  \nREGISTER HERE>>\nCheck-in at Story Chapel \nCapacity: 10 people per walk \n1pm & 4pm Walks \n… \nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free or discounted access to all our public programs and special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn.

SUMMARY:The Hurricane That Changed Mount Auburn
DESCRIPTION:The Great New England Hurricane of 1938 (aka the Yankee Clipper or Long Island Express) was the deadliest and most damaging hurricane to ever strike New York and New England. Making landfall on September 21\, the Category 3 storm caused nearly 700 fatalities\, left 63\,000 people without homes\, and toppled 275 million trees. In Massachusetts\, storm surges measured between 18-25 feet and the hurricane’s greatest wave height of 50-feet was recorded in Gloucester.    \nMount Auburn Cemetery lost more than 800 trees in a single day and over 1\,000 more suffered significant damage. Despite all the damage\, the Cemetery saw an opportunity to replant and replace what was lost while expanding and diversifying its collection. From 1939-1940 alone\, over 1\,500 new trees and shrubs were introduced to the Cemetery\, many of which are still standing today.  \nJoin Jim Gorman\, arborist and MAC staff member\, for a curated tour of several of the now-mature trees planted after the hurricane.  \nREGISTER HERE>>\nCheck-in at Story Chapel \nCapacity: 30 people \n … \nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free or discounted access to all our public programs and discounts on special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn.
