SUMMARY:Central Park Tree Walk with Dendro Lab's Carey Russell
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to cultivate a closer and more familiar relationship with our neighborhood trees? If so\, set off on the right foot with a leisurely walk in Central Park to learn the key concepts used in dendrology\, which you know more commonly as the simple practice of tree identification. Each species of tree has its own unique characteristics and behavior\, which make it surprisingly easy to identify – but only for those who know what they are looking for! If you’re interested in starting or furthering your practice as a naturalist\, learning our local trees is a great place to start. A walk through the park or even around the block will never be quite the same again. \nYour guide for this one-hour presentation will be Carey Russell\, a local dendrologist and founding director of The Dendro Lab\, an organization dedicated to sharing the environmental literacy of trees. \nTo Join\nMeet at the Society Meeting House lobby at 1:00pm – 2 W 64th St. (at the corner of Central Park West).

SUMMARY:Cause Celebre Benefit: 'Unlucky Gal: The Jane Doe Story' Play w/ Tribute to Judy Collins\, Martin Garbus\, and Mike Osgood
DESCRIPTION:Join Cause Celebre Productions for a performance of Unlucky Gal: The Jane Doe Story\, followed by a special tribute to iconic folk singer Judy Collins\, legendary attorney Martin Garbus\, and former Deputy Chief of the NYPD Mike Osgood. \nVIP reception follows. \nAbout Unlucky Gal: The Jane Doe Story\nUnlucky Gal: The Jane Doe Story\, is the second part of Cause Celebre’s series exploring seven controversial cases of legendary attorney Martin Garbus\, described by The Guardian as “one of the world’s finest trial lawyers.” \nUnlucky Gal tells the story of Jane Doe\, a twenty-seven year old gay black woman who was raped in Prospect Park in April\, 1994. \nTwo days later\, Mike McAlary of the The New York Daily News began publishing a series of three articles\, based on anonymous police sources\, claiming that Jane Doe was lying about her assault\, although the NYPD did have evidence to the contrary. Devastated\, Jane Doe sued McAlary and the The New York Daily News for libel\, but lost. \nIn 2013 the play Lucky Guy\, based on McAlary\, opened on Broadway. Marty Garbus wrote an editorial for The New York Times pointing out that Jane Doe’s story still had not been told\, and asked\, “Who will tell Jane Does’ story?” \nIn 2017\, Michael Osgood\, Deputy Chief of the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit\, heard a radio interview that mentioned the Jane Doe case and Marty’s op-ed. Osgood read the piece\, and knowing Garbus’ reputation\, reopened the case. In 2018\, DNA evidence revealed Jane Doe’s attacker. \nJane Doe’s fight for justice took nearly two and a half decades. It’s time to tell her story. Unlucky Gal is that story. \nPlay and Tribute Tickets – Purchase on Eventbrite\n$45 – Limited Priority Seating\n$25 – General Admission \nPerformance scheduled for 2:00-4:00pm \nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE ON EVENTBRITE \nVIP Tickets: Play\, Tribute\, and Reception – Purchase by Phone or Email\n$250\, includes limited priority seating for play.\n(Admission is tax deductible) \nReception is scheduled for 4:00-6:00pm. \nTO PURCHASE: Call 646-366-9340 or email info@causecelebreproductions.org \nProceeds from the event will be used towards the furtherance of the goals of Cause Celebre: to connect theatre\, film and television with compelling causes.

SUMMARY:Cancelled - Book Discussion Group: 'A Year to Live' by Stephen Levine
DESCRIPTION:Notice: This week’s session has been cancelled. Dr. Rost will reach out with a new date soon! \n*** \nJoin Leader Dr. Nori Rost every first Sunday for a new book discussion group exploring A Year to Live by Stephen Levine. \nFree and open to the public. First Sundays: February 4\, March 3\, April 7\, May 5\, June 2\, ending on July 7 \nAbout A Year to Live\n“Stephen Levine has worked creatively to help thousands of people approach their own deaths with equanimity\, truth\, and an open heart. I can think of no one better qualified to help us enrich our lives through embracing the mystery of death.”—Ram Dass \n“A Year to Live is a poetic and deeply passionate exploration into what creates human suffering. It is also a lyrical and generous-spirited guide to life.”—San Francisco Examiner \nIn A Year to Live\, Stephen Levine\, author of the perennial bestseller Who Dies?\, teaches us how to live each moment\, each hour\, each day mindfully—as if it were all that was left. On his deathbed\, Socrates exhorted his followers to practice dying as the highest form of wisdom. Levine decided to live this way himself for a whole year\, and now he shares with us how such immediacy radically changes our view of the world and forces us to examine our priorities. \nMost of us go to extraordinary lengths to ignore\, laugh off\, or deny our grief over the fact that we are going to die\, but preparing for death is one of the most rational and rewarding acts of a lifetime. It is an exercise that gives us the opportunity to deal with unfinished business and enter into a new and vibrant relationship with life. Levine provides us with a year-long program of intensely practical strategies and powerful guided meditations to help with this work\, so that whenever the ultimate moment does arrive for each of us\, we will not feel that it has come too soon. \nAbout Stephen Levine\nStephen Levine (1937–2016) was an American poet and teacher of guided meditation and healing techniques. His bestselling books in the United States and Europe (including Healing into Life and Death and A Gradual Awakening) are considered groundbreaking in their field. He also collaborated with his wife and spiritual partner\, Ondrea\, on a number of influential works such as Who Dies? and Embracing the Beloved.
