While paint dries\, we will bring larger rocks\, signs and stakes over to the Meadow for installation. We can enjoy time in the garden with an array of team-building activities. We are excited to introduce participants to the Indigo growing in the Meadow that is being cultivated for the workshop up next. \n\n\n\nThis afternoon\, artist and Indigo gardener\, Bernadette Puleo\, will lead us in using leaves of the Japanese Indigo plant and a sprinkle of salt to dye a silk tapestry of wall hangings that will be displayed at our second Indigo session and exhibition event later this season. In today’s session\, Bernadette will explain the history of indigo dyeing\, a universal practice that has been used to dye textiles for over 6\,000 years with various techniques developing in different places over time. Participants will experience one of those techniques. At our second session\, the silk wall hanging will be stenciled or hammered with a design using rolled up leaves or Indigo pigment.

Interactive and engaging activities will lead us towards social action that we can embark on together or individually.We are excited to welcome HorseAbility and their miniature therapy horses to teach us about their contributions to the Long Island community. According to HorseAbility\, the “mini horses” are similar to their full-sized equine partners in terms of personality\, intelligence\, and disposition. Due to their calm\, patient demeanor and willingness to interact with persons of all ages and abilities\, they consistently bring smiles to the faces of everyone they meet.

These wonderous herbs will be used for teas and food ingredients at the end of the season. There will be various tasks available and team-building involved. \n\n\n\nThanks to one of our former mentors\, Sabrina and mentee\, Marko\, we had the opportunity to learn about mosaic tile designs from around the world. Mosaic mean “a picture or pattern produced by arranging together tessera\, which are small colored pieces of stone\, tile\, or glass\, or other nature-based materials like shells.” Today\, participants will be inspired by mosaics from ancient cultures and then design their own creative mosaic art garden stepping stones through a mosaic art kit.

The Diamondback Terrapins are an iconic Long Island species and essential to maintain a balanced ecosystem. Terrapins are facing serious population decline and we can help. \n\n\n\nThe goal of this program is to monitor and record the distribution of Diamondback Terrapins in our region by recording any sign of terrapin presence. We will participate in monitoring training and be on the look out for terrapin friends! Please feel free to view this terrapin fact sheet prior to our outing.

This is a two-part event\, the second session taking place today. \n\n\n\nOksana has already introduced us to the history of Nuno Felting (some information is provided below). And during our first session\, participants made creative and decorative flowers as Mother’s Day gifts\, an offering to those who do so much to care for our well-being. Our young people have enjoyed collaborating\, sharing artistic ideas with one another\, following directions and guiding or being guided by peers. Socialization\, too. \n\n\n\nToday\, we invite family and community members to join us for a special exhibit of our Nuno Felting artwork to be presented and gifted to caregivers. Oksana’s amazing creations will be on display as well. Our young people will complete the second half of their designs (stems\, leaves\, and flower pistons)\, prodiving a demonstration of Nuno Felting guided by Oksana. Parents and caregivers\, family\, friends\, and community members\, please let us know if you will be there: info@sanghacenter.org. \n\n\n\nWe are excited to have our young people teach others about what they have learned. See how to recycle fabric materials and manifest ideas for future creations. Special refreshments will be served. No fee for participating parents/caregivers or community members. \n\n\n\nAbout Nuno Felting\n\n\n\nNuno Felting is a fabric felting technique developed by Polly Stirling\, a fiber artist from New South Wales\, Australia\, around 1992. The name “Nuno” is derived from Japanese (布) and means cloth. This mixed media art combines wool with other fibers such as silk\, to create lightweight but sturdy fabrics that are especially good for fashion. Nuno Felt is like a silk gauze that is gaining popularity amongst felters and often used for light summer dresses\, shawls\, scarves\, skirts\, shorts\, book bags\, pencil cases\, etc. Almost any material can be used as long as it is thin enough. \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nIf you are already a member of our Project Stewardship program\, please register using the “Member” registration below.

No previous experience necessary. \n\n\n\nAbout Nuno Felting\n\n\n\nNuno Felting is a fabric felting technique developed by Polly Stirling\, a fiber artist from New South Wales\, Australia\, around 1992. The name “Nuno” is derived from Japanese (布) and means cloth. This mixed media art combines wool with other fibers such as silk\, to create lightweight but sturdy fabrics that are especially good for fashion. Nuno Felt is like a silk gauze that is gaining popularity amongst felters and often used for light summer dresses\, shawls\, scarves\, skirts\, shorts\, book bags\, pencil cases\, etc. Almost any material can be used as long as it is thin enough. \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nIf you are already a member of our Project Stewardship program\, please register using the “Member” registration below.

Toniann will provide teens and young adults in our Project Stewardship program with a variety of full group and team activities where participants can fine-tune their true voice through music and movement while learning to read people through musical sounds/rhythms\, body language and facial expressions in addition to observing different interpretations. \n\n\n\nImprov theatrics activities include musical games using voice and instruments\, creating a themed-song-together\, stepping to beats and walking into confidence. How do we move based on how we feel? We will learn to share our voices\, encourage others\, and build assertiveness skills while fostering creativity and enjoying group dynamics. The activities are flexible and customized for each group. Participant input will also guide the process as they recognize the benefits of how fine-tuning their voice can be implemented in daily life. \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nIf you are already a member of our Project Stewardship program\, please register using the “Member” registration below.

It’s a visual representation or roadmap of how you envision your best life\, helping you to manifest it. Making a vision board is meant to excite you about the future.  \n\n\n\nAt this workshop\, we will be taking a unique approach to vision boarding by first learning a bit about Feng Shui and the Bagua. The Bagua (or parts of your house or room that have symbolic meaning) will be used as a template for the physical board and placement of images\, words\, and affirmations on it. We will discuss our thoughts and ideas as a group\, list out some of the specifics to organize ourselves\, create our vision board\, and share our final products. Our goal is that this exercise inspire and aid our Project Stewardship teens and young adults in building thinking and planning skills towards creating the reality of their dreams.  \n\n\n\nPlease feel free to give some thought to areas of your life in alignment with the Bagua (i.e.\, creativity\, helpful people and travel\, health\, relationships\, prosperity\, reputation\, family) and bring in related images from magazines or internet printouts to have them available and possibly to paste on your board. We will also have materials / images available for this purpose as new ideas continue to flow during the workshop. \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nIf you are already a member of our Project Stewardship program\, please register using the “Member” registration below.
