Join Gelsey Bell at this special edition of Grieving & Weaving. She will present her work that thematically covers the many faces of loss through her vocals and music. Stitching together creativity and community, this knitting and crocheting group is unique for one reason: it meets in a cemetery. Whether you’re an expert with yarn or just starting out, you are welcome to join us as we share stories, skills, and grief resources in the comfort of Green-Wood’s Modern Chapel. As we create together, we’ll talk about the significance of handmade items in both our personal and collective histories. To hear about past attendees’ experiences, listen to and/or read this piece featured on NPR. Beginners can join our knitting and crochet tutorial groups, while experienced crafters are encouraged to bring ongoing projects and mentor others. Feel free to bring your own yarn, needles, and hooks; some materials will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Not a knitter? Not to worry, you can bring whatever other crafts you are working on. Free. Registration required. Please consider a $10 donation to the Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer more death education programs like this throughout the year.

Our PRE-K/K : Parent & Me class is designed specifically for 4 and 5-year-olds to introduce them to the game of basketball in a fun, low-pressure environment. In this class, parents can actively participate alongside the coaches and their children—helping them dribble, run, and explore the game together. The goal is simple: get the ball in their hands, encourage movement, and make every moment on the court enjoyable. We’ll use playful games and basic activities to build comfort with the ball and create positive early experiences with basketball.
Join us on America’s 250th Anniversary Tour of Fort Greene, where you will have the opportunity to take a Walking Tour highlighting the rich, complex, and evolving legacy of Fort Greene Park. This tour will explore Fort Greene’s historical relationship to the American Revolutionary War, using monuments and storytelling to trace the significance of the Battle of Brooklyn, the founding of Fort Greene Park, and the legacy of prison ship martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the war. Local historians, Natasha Fearon and Alexandra Stevens, will couple historical background with the park’s living memory to unravel how struggles over freedom and remembrance continue to shape Brooklyn today.
