SUMMARY:Grieving Conversations: Cultural & Spiritual Practices for End-of-Life Care
DESCRIPTION:Grieving Conversations is scheduled for Saturday\, October 26\, from 4-6 PM at Puentes De Salud.\n\n\n(This event will provide English and Spanish interpretation. Scroll down to read in English) \nCF: Catherine Birdsall \nConversaciones sobre el duelo: Exploración de prácticas culturales y espirituales para el cuidado al final de la vida\nCon Catherine Birdsall\, Johanna Cabrera\, Abuela Kunanate\, y Nija Rivera\n \nLa sesión GRATUITA tiene lugar en Puentes De Salud\, 1700 South St\, Philadelphia\, PA. Hay estacionamiento disponible en el garage de South Street. También hay estacionamiento por parquímetro disponible en South Street y las calles cercanas. Este evento es completamente accesible para sillas de ruedas y será principalmente en español con interpretación al inglés. Conversaciones sobre el duelo está organizado en colaboración con Convalescence\, una instalación de arte inmersiva del artista Pepón Osorio en la Universidad Thomas Jefferson.. \n \nÚnase a nosotros para una conversación íntima guiada que explora las diversas perspectivas culturales y espirituales sobre la muerte\, moderada por Catherine Birdsall\, educadora y doula de la muerte radicada en Filadelfia. Junto a ella\, el panel incluirá a Johanna Cabrera\, una artesana que fue diagnosticada con fibromas uterinos y cáncer de mama; Abuela Kunanate\, una doula de la muerte\, radicada en Nueva York; y Nija Rivera\, una cuidadora para su abuela que falleció recientemente. Se anima a los asistentes a mantener espacio y participar en conversaciones sobre el cuidado que brindan a las personas al final de la vida. Los ponentes y participantes compartirán sus rituales y prácticas\, para arrojar luz sobre las diversas formas en que las comunidades honran la vida y navegan por la transición hacia la muerte. A través de este diálogo\, también examinaremos y abordaremos cómo los sistemas de salud pueden apoyar más estas prácticas culturales\, por el bien del paciente que enfrenta la muerte y su comunidad en duelo. Refrigerios ligeros se servirán durante el evento. \n \n“Después de haber trabajado tanto en la medicina institucional como en el cuidados alternativos para la muerte\, estoy profundamente interesada en explorar las formas en que se le puede ayudar a los pacientes a morir de manera diferente dentro de nuestras instituciones médicas\,” dice Catherine Birdsall. “Estoy emocionada de unirme a Abuela\, Johanna\, y Nija en una conversación sobre los desafíos y los beneficios de llevar las prácticas familiares y culturales de cuidados del final de la vida a los entornos hospitalarios en Filadelfia.” \n \nCatherine Birdsall ha pasado su vida adulta entendiendo la práctica de la medicina en muchas formas: medicina occidental/alopática\, herbología clínica y centrada en la tierra/las mujeres sabias\, y las muchas formas de medicina que afectan todas las vidas en forma de alimentos\, la construcción de comunidad\, los rituales y las artes. Tiene 25 años trabajando como herbolaria y enfermera especializada\, centrada en los pacientes adultos y geriátricos. Pasó muchos años trabajando en la geriatría y los cuidados paliativos para enfermos terminales. Actualmente\, Catherine trabaja en Puentes de Salud en el sur de Filadelfia\, sirviendo a la comunidad hispana inmigrante como educadora y doula de la muerte con Threshold Collective\, una organización que ella cofundó con la Dra. Rebecca Maury. \n \nInspirada por su propio viaje de sanación\, Johanna Marie Cabrera es una facilitadora dedicada de los Círculos de Mujeres de hoy en día. Su servicio tiene sus raíces en más de una década de estudios de su linaje afro-taíno y las enseñanzas de las abuelas de la Danza de la luna; una ceremonia de mujeres de cuatro noches que se originó en México. Es artesana de oficio y fabrica ropa y accesorios únicos\, inspirados en una conexión con el mundo natural. Su experiencia personal con los fibromas uterinos y cáncer de mama\, la ha llevado a entender más profundamente la raíz energética\, y consiguientemente fisiológica\, de estas enfermedades. Al reflexionar sobre su mortalidad\, Johanna asistió a Cafés de la muerte por internet y participó en varios cursos en capacitación para doulas de la muerte\, entendiendo que esta educación es importante para su proceso de sanación. Tener más paz con la certeza de su naturaleza (que nacer también es morir) enriquece su búsqueda para estar más presente\, para vivir más plenamente y con propósito. \n \nAbuela Kunanate es una neoyorquina criada por su madre y abuela dominicanas y su padre europeo en una casa melódica donde el español era el primer idioma antes de “americanizarse.” Como la hija mayor\, su naturaleza protectora influyó en la mayoría de sus elecciones profesionales. En particular\, su trabajo con el yoga y la meditación la preparó para el servicio de doula de la muerte que cambió su percepción de la muerte. Su primera experiencia fue ayudar a su hermano menor en la transición cuando él murió a causa del virus VIH durante la epidemia de 1988. Muchos más amigos y funerales poco después la convencieron de ayudar a guiar más almas trascendentes. Las raíces taínas de Abuela y sus tradiciones espirituales\, ceremonias y rituales se han convertido en su forma de vida\, preparándola para ese momento cuando regrese a casa en las estrellas. \n \nNija Rivera\, maestría en salud pública\, nació y se crió en la ciudad dinámica de Filadelfia\, PA. Es actriz\, redactora de solicitudes de subvenciones\, y consultora principal en su empresa Gritty Grants\, LLC. Ha trabajado en el sector de organizaciones sin fines de lucro en el área de Filadelfia durante los últimos 15 años. Una de las experiencias más profundas en la vida de Nija fue ayudar a su abuela durante sus últimos días después de un diagnóstico de cáncer terminal. Ella aborda esta conversación con profunda compasión y espera ofrecer amor y comprensión a quienes están atravesando transiciones similares con sus seres queridos. \n \nGracias a nuestros socios comunitarios\, Puentes De Salud y Threshold Collective\, por hacer posible este evento. Un gran apoyo para Convalescence ha sido proporcionado por The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage\, con apoyo adicional de la Wagner Foundation\, la Mellon Foundation\, y el Fondo Nacional para las Artes. \n \n¿Preguntas? Contáctese con Chelsea-Mia Pierre\, Gerente de programas públicos para Convalescence\, chelseamia.pm@gmail.com. \n \nAcerca de Threshold Collective \nThreshold Collective ofrece a los clientes apoyo para el envejecimiento y la muerte. Apoyan a adultos con padres envejecientes\, envejecimiento en el hogar\, navegación de los sistemas médicos\, planificación y trámites para el final de la vida\, apoyo directo para personas que están muriendo\, y más. Para más información sobre Threshold Collective\, visite thresholdcollective.org. \n \nAcerca de Puentes De Salud \nFundado en 2004 por Steven Larson\, doctor en medicina\, y Jack Ludmir\, doctor en medicina\, Puentes de Salud es una organización sin fines de lucro que promueve la salud y el bienestar de la comunidad latina inmigrante en el sur de Filadelfia a través de servicios médicos de alta calidad\, programas educativos innovadores\, y desarrollo comunitario. La misión de Puentes de Salud es doble: Primero\, asociarse con la comunidad latina inmigrante de Filadelfia\, que está creciendo rápidamente\, para crear prosperidad duradera abordando las necesidades inmediatas de educación\, salud y servicios sociales. Segundo\, crear un entorno de aprendizaje para las generaciones futuras de defensores\, educadores\, y proveedores de atención médica para examinar la justicia social y la violencia estructural\, y para explorar sus impactos sobre los determinantes sociales de la salud dentro de una comunidad marginada. Para más información sobre Puentes de Salud\, visite puentesdesalud.org. \n \nAcerca de Convalescence \nLa Universidad Thomas Jefferson presenta Convalescence\, una instalación inmersiva del artista de renombre internacional\, Pepón Osorio\, radicado en Filadelfia. Convalescence es gratis y está abierta a todos del 3 de septiembre al 1 de noviembre en el campus de ciencias de salud de Jefferson en el centro de Filadelfia\, continuando la práctica de Osorio de estrenar obras en los entornos que las informan. Convalescence tiene sus raíces en la experiencia personal del artista con el diagnóstico y tratamiento de cáncer. El proyecto resalta las inequidades sistémicas en la salud y en la atención médica en los Estados Unidos\, e incluye historias de otra gente de color de Filadelfia que ha pasado por\, o que está experimentando actualmente\, enfermedades potencialmente mortales. Basándose en las relaciones con grupos típicamente desatendidos por el sistema de salud\, la instalación de Osorio explora la naturaleza de los cuidados comunitarios. El proyecto amplía el programa de humanidades médicas en curso de Jefferson\, que involucra a los estudiantes en las artes y las humanidades en paralelo con su educación en profesiones de la salud. Una serie de programas públicos creados con socios comunitarios se coordinará junto con la instalación. Para más información sobre Convalescence\, visite Jefferson.edu/Convalescence. \n— \n\n\nGrieving Conversations: Exploring Cultural & Spiritual Practices for End-of-Life Care\nwith Catherine Birdsall\, Johanna Cabrera\, Abuela Kunanate\, and Nija Rivera\n \nGrieving Conversations is scheduled for Saturday\, October 26\, from 4-6 PM. The FREE session takes place at Puentes De Salud\, 1700 South St\, Philadelphia\, PA. Parking is available in the South Street Parking Garage. Metered parking is also available on South Street and the surrounding block. This event is fully wheelchair accessible and will be primarily in Spanish with English interpretation provided. Grieving Conversations is organized in conjunction with Convalescence\, an immersive art installation by artist Pepón Osorio at Thomas Jefferson University. \n \nJoin us for an intimate guided conversation exploring the diverse cultural and spiritual perspectives on dying moderated by Catherine Birdsall\, a Philadelphia-based death educator and doula. Joining her\, the panel will include Johanna Cabrera\, an artisan diagnosed with uterine fibroids and breast cancer; Abuela Kunanate\, a New York-based death doula; and Nija Rivera\, a caretaker for her grandmother who recently passed. Attendees are encouraged to hold space and participate in conversation about providing care to people at the end of life. The speakers and participants will share their rituals and practices to shed light on diverse ways communities honor life and navigate the death transition. Through this dialogue\, we will also examine and address how healthcare systems can offer more support for these cultural practices for the sake of the patient facing fatality and their grieving community. Light refreshments will be served at the event. \n \n“Having worked in both institutional medicine and alternative death care\, I am deeply interested in exploring the ways that patients can be supported to die differently within our medical institutions\,” says Catherine Birdsall. “I am excited to be joining Abuela\, Johanna\, and Nija in a conversation regarding the challenges and benefits of bringing familial and cultural practices of end-of-life care into hospital settings in Philadelphia.” \n \nCatherine Birdsall has spent her adult life understanding the practice of medicine in many forms: western/allopathic medicine\, clinical and earth-centered/wise woman herbalism\, and the many forms of medicine that touch all lives in the form of food\, community-building\, ritual\, and the arts. She’s been a clinical herbalist of nearly 25 years\, and nurse practitioner with a focus on adult and geriatric patients. She spent many years working in geriatrics and palliative care/hospice. Currently\, Catherine works serving Philadelphia’s Hispanic immigrant community at Puentes de Salud in South Philadelphia\, and as a death educator and doula with Threshold Collective\, an organization she co-founded with Dr. Rebecca Maury. \n \nInspired by her own healing journey\, Johanna Marie Cabrera is a dedicated facilitator of modern day Women’s Circles. Her service is rooted in over a decade of studies from her Afro-Taino Lineage and the teachings of the grandmothers of the Moon Dance; a woman’s four night ceremony originated in Mexico. She is an artisan by trade and makes unique clothing and accessories that are inspired by a connection to the natural world. Her personal experience with uterine fibroids and breast cancer has led her to a deeper understanding of the energetic and consequently the physiological root of these conditions. Reflecting on her mortality\, Johanna attended online Death Cafes and participated in a few Death Doula training courses with the understanding that this education is significant in her healing process. Having more peace with the certainty of her nature (to be born is also to die) is enriching her quest to be more present\, to live more fully and with purpose. \n \nAbuela Kunanate is a New Yorker raised by her immigrant Dominican mother\, grandmother and European father in a melodic home where Spanish was the first language before “Americanizing”. As the first born\, her protective nature played a role in most of her career choices. In particular\, her work with yoga and meditation prepared her for “dying doula” service that changed her perception of death. Her first experience was helping her younger brother transition when he died from the HIV virus\, during the epidemic in 1988. Many more friends and memorials shortly after\, convinced her to help usher more transcending souls. Abuela’s Taino roots\, spiritual traditions\, ceremony and ritual has become her way of life\, preparing her for that moment when she returns home to the stars. \n \nNija Rivera\, MPH\, was born and bred in the vibrant city of Philadelphia\, PA. She is an actor grant writer\, and the lead consultant at her enterprise Gritty Grants\, LLC. She worked in the nonprofit sector in Greater Philadelphia for the past 15 years. One of the most profound experiences of Nija’s life was helping her grandmother through her final days after a terminal cancer diagnosis. She approaches this conversation with deep compassion and hopes to offer love and understanding to those who are navigating similar transitions with their loved ones. \n \nThank you to our community partners\, Puentes De Salud and Threshold Collective\, for making this event possible. Major support for Convalescence has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage\, with additional support from the Wagner Foundation\, the Mellon Foundation\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. \n \nQuestions?

The project highlights systemic health and health care inequities in the U.S. and includes stories from other Philadelphians of color who have lived through\, or are currently experiencing\, life-threatening illnesses.

SUMMARY:Gradients of Growth by Deirdre Murphy - Closing Reception and Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Closing Reception of Deirdre Murphy’s solo exhibition “Gradients of Growth”\, with a talk by the artist.\n\n\nJoin us for the closing reception and artist talk celebrating Gradients of Growth\, a solo exhibition by Deirdre Murphy. This body of work explores the effects of the Anthropocene climate on tree cavity-nesting birds and East Coast pollinator species through vibrant paintings and detailed monoprints. Murphy draws inspiration from her residency at the Lower Merion Conservancy\, where the natural beauty of nest cavities inspired her unique “portal” views in her paintings. Additionally\, her monoprints\, informed by the Lehigh University Tremblay Herbarium collection\, emphasize the vital role herbariums play in climate change research. \n \nMurphy’s work reflects a message of ecological hope and environmental healing\, highlighting the importance of collective awareness and action in restoring balance to our warming planet. During the artist talk\, Murphy will share insights into her process and the significance of her environmental focus\, offering an inspiring perspective on how art can intersect with nature and science. \n \nDon’t miss this opportunity to engage with the artist and experience the closing of an exhibition dedicated to environmental advocacy and renewal. \n \nRefreshments will be served. All are welcome! \n \nAs part of this special event\, Dance theatre artists Lyra Butler-Denman and William Acker perform in response to Gradients of Growth. Their work was made during a week-long residency at Chimera Gallery immersed in Deirdre Murphy’s imagery and objects. The performance explores migration\, portals\, and Murphy’s focus on the ecologies of hope. \nTickets for the performance are pay what you can\, $20 suggested\, no one turned away for lack of funds. \nThis event is held in conjunction with the Closing Reception for Gradients of Growth.

SUMMARY:Mural Arts Month Closing Party: Wearable Art
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the ending of the Another Mural Arts Month!\n\n\nThis year to conclude Mural Arts Month we’ve decided to lift the curtain\, so to speak\, to give the public an opportunity to peer deeper into the organization by giving them the opportunity to meet and interact with our board members\, directors\, artists and employees in a celebratory setting. As we conclude our 40th year\, help us close out the 26th Annual Mural Art Month with “Mural Arts Month Closing Party: Wearable Art” at Rec Philly from 8p-12am.

SUMMARY:Pomological: Poison Apples and Fallen Fruit
DESCRIPTION:Through discussion and producing fruit leather from salvaged fallen apples\, this workshop ruminates on apples in mythical\, cultural\, and\n\n\nPomological: Poison Apples and Fallen Fruit presented by Biomaterials Working Group in partnership with The Philadelphia Orchard Project \n \nWe are eating apples in the end of times. Through discussion and production of fruit leather from salvaged fallen apples\, this workshop ruminates on apples in mythical\, cultural\, and biological contexts. Apple leather is presented in simultaneous processing stages: cooking\, dehydrating\, and as a bioplastic material within art practices. \nThis workshop explores apples as symbols of knowledge\, tickets to (un)paradise\, fairy tale poisons and folk remedies\, and sci-fi symbionts\, grafted from clones. This seemingly simple\, homely fruit unfolds into complex layers – how do we parse inherited stories around sustenance\, medicine\, and colonial forestry? Through food preservation\, what future are we planning? \nThis event is free and open to the public\, registration is highly encouraged as space is limited. Accessibility information for the POP Learning Orchard will be updated shortly! \nAbout The Biomaterials Working Group \nThe Biomaterials Working Group (BWG)\, is an arts research collective based in the part of Lenapehoking called Philadelphia. BWG members include Marcellus Armstrong\, Jazmyn Crosby\, Theo Loftis\, Cecilia McKinnon\, and Elizabeth Shores. As artists\, educators\, and researchers\, we share an interest in exploring sustainable alternatives to plastics and toxic materials conventionally used in studio art practices\, as well as a broad curiosity about the transformative potential of everyday materials used in unconventional ways. Our various previous avenues of exploration include: algae-based bioplastics\, eggshell concrete\, fermentation\, natural pigments\, kombucha leather\, saltwater radio antennae\, and more. \nRead more about Teaching and the End of Times

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: A Guide to Witches
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “A Guide to Witches\,” on the figure of the witch in history\, legend\, folklore\, and fairy tales\, with Linda Lee\, lecturer in folklore and literature at the University of Pennsylvania. \nGet ready for something spellbinding: A look at various depictions of witches as reflections of ideas about female sexuality\, independence\, agency\, and power. \nOffering up this pre-Halloween treat will be folklorist Linda Lee\, who previously has given excellent talks at the Black Squirrel Club in Philadelphia’s Fishtown on dark Christmas folklore and the goddess Persephone. \nWe’ll start with an introduction to witches from European folklore\, fairy tales\, and legends. You’ll learn how they’re generally portrayed as powerful\, solitary\, and defiant figures who can be either helpful or harmful. They may appear as mothers\, helpers who aid a hero on a quest\, or monsters to be vanquished. They can represent a threat to the community by snatching children or pilfering cows’ milk. \nIndividual witches who will be conjured up include the child-eating witch from Grimms’ “Hansel and Gretel” and Baba Yaga\, the ambiguous witch of Slavic folklore who lives in a hut on chicken legs and flies around with a mortar and pestle. \nLee will then contrast such fictional depictions with the ideas about witches and witchcraft espoused by Christian demonological thought. \nYou’ll learn how witches are described by early modern sources like Malleus Maleficarum\, the 15th-century treatise on witchcraft which also served as a witch hunters’ manual. Such texts present witches as entirely malevolent figures who gain magical powers through a pact with the Devil (usually signed with menstrual blood). The witches in them are believed to use a special ointment that allowed them to fly to a Witches’ Sabbath\, where they dance and perform demonic rituals. \nYou’ll see how such ideas were visually reinforced through engravings\, woodcuts\, and drawings\, by artists like Albrecht Dürer\, that depicted naked women riding broomsticks and dancing with devils. \nYou’ll come away with a better understanding of why witches are among the most versatile\, notorious\, and enduring figures from fairy tales and legends and remain an iconic part of contemporary Halloween traditions. Feel free to dress witchy if you wish. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Doors open at 3 pm. Talk starts at 3:30.) \nImage: From “Preparation for the Witches’ Sabbath\,” by 17th Century Flemish artist David Teniers the Younger.

SUMMARY:Ecological Arboriculture: Section B
DESCRIPTION:Develop a deeper connection to trees by understanding their outsized role in our natural ecosystems. Trees provide habitat and food. They support nutrient-cycling in forest systems through leaf-drop and decomposition\, mediate temperatures\, mitigate stormwater\, and soil erosion\, and are culturally significant to the mid-Atlantic region. Examine the ecological features of trees while learning about their anatomy and care. Find out how trees contribute\, in both life and death\, to forest ecology. Learn why large\, mature trees need to be conserved and how climate change could impact forests in the future. Outdoor learning conducted to complement the lectures. Dress for the weather. These classes are rain or shine.\nThis program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center Three Wednesdays: 10/30 through 11/13.\nAbout the Instructors:\nNicole DeLizzio is the Arborist Assistant at the Mt. Cuba Center.
