Description
Sangha Education Center has expanded our Nature & Wellness Connections curriculum where we provide Forest Bathing Meditative Nature Exploration and Learn & Grow hands-on inclusive community classes to include nature-art options open to the general public that take place around Historic Malcolm House and our Meadow Farm. Stephanie Gaglione of Biophilia Wellness is our Nature Therapy Guide and Educator. Others at Sangha lead Learn and Grow sessions including our farmers. There is always an educational component about the history or origins of a concept that helps participants to gain a deeper understanding. All learning opportunities are open to adult community members, teens & young adults, and adult community members. Schools and community groups are welcome, too (see School Programs). Nature education and wellness experiences are offered for different ages, abilities, and learning styles, enhancing academic knowledge, embracing creativity and enabling calm and connection. There is something for everyone!
In addition to the Nature & Wellness Connections options above, young people in middle, high school, college, and the workplace are invited to join us for Summer at the Sangha, our four-week summer program in July meeting on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays with two inclusive community classes open to the general public each day. Come participate in organic experiences at Malcolm House and our adjoining Meadow Farm. Outdoor education supports the “whole-learner”, enabling individuals to gain a closer connection with the themselves, others and the natural world in alignment with our philosophy, mission and overall program offering. We also hold Meadow Farm Volunteer Days where the community can contribute, learn and grow together! Contact us for details!
Our programs bring community together towards improving our overall health and enabling a sense of well-being through a broad range of holistic experiences and strategies. Nature is naturally therapeutic! Let us reconnect with one another and the natural world, while developing new stewards for Earth.
Educators, farmers, and community partners work together to teach and facilitate our programs. In addition to community programs, we offer Sangha School Programs and those for local groups at Malcolm House on the Jericho Preserve. We begin with Nature & Wellness Connections and will be introducing Long Island History in Your Own Backyard in 2026! Additionally, we continue to assist Long Island schools via Start Your Own School Garden based on request.
