Wave Hill Weekly Events May 30 – June 6 | Yoga, Gala, Monet & Death Café

 

Wave Hill will close early at 2PM on Thursday, May 30th as we prepare for our annual evening Spring Gala.  

Don’t forget Wings Over Wave Hill on May 18-19 for a weekend of birds! Our popular annual falconry demonstration returns and there’s fun for all ages with hands-on activities, walks, talks and a bird-themed Family Art Project. Adults are invited to stay late on Saturday for our Birders Lounge – an evening of birding trivia, sunset walks and drinks on our cafe terrace. Birding knowledge is not necessary to take home the trivia winning prize!

Spring Gala honoring Tom de Witte

Celebrate spring in Wave Hill’s beautiful gardens on Thursday, May 30 as we honor Tom de Witte, Netherlands-based international landscape designer, and kick-off the creation of our new meadow.

Family Art Project: Monet’s Magnificent Pond
Free with admission to the grounds  
Registration not required 

Dive into the world of artist Claude Monet and his water lilies. Make a splash as you create your very own mixed-media paintings inspired by Wave Hill’s Aquatic Garden. This project was designed by participants of our ACES internship program.  

Death Café
Free with admission to the grounds
Registration not required  

Death as a concept is avoided and hidden, especially where there’s a lack of respect for the living. Expressing grief is a survival mechanism; the way we mourn reflects the way we live. Guided by artist Anastasia Corrine (Wave Hill Winter Workspace 2024) and death doula Nancy Huang, Death Café is an opportunity for people to gather and share thoughts, fears, dreams about mortality, and plan for the future. 

What world do we want our descendants to live in? What does grief reveal about human experience? How does collective grief deepen our commitment to love and dignity for the living, sick and dead? This program explores these questions and more with herbal companions, multiple lineages of death writing, and sound meditation.
