Esther’s guidance will encourage subsequent cold porcelain claywork undertakings that participants may do at home or in future Sangha classes where more advanced artwork can broaden their skills. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWEDNESDAY JULY 29TH \n\n\n\nAM – Oyster Raising in Oyster Bay with The WaterFront Center of Oyster Bay \n\n\n\nWe are grateful to The WaterFront Center of Oyster Bay for bringing a new class to us this summer. Today\, we will learn about how to raise oysters for continued health and clean waters within Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor. Oysters were endangered\, and efforts on behalf of many on the North Shore of Long Island led to their ability to remain an integral part of our ecosystem. Important concepts will be discussed about the life-cycle of oysters\, we will embark on cage-building\, as well as sorting and cleaning oysters\, and learning why this is critical to the local oyster population\, our waters\, and the eco-health of the entire system. In the future\, we may choose to volunteer with The WaterFront Center of Oyster Bay to help clean oyster cages and embark on other supportive functions with Friends of the Bay. \n\n\n\nPM – Our Long Island Waters Then and Now with Christine Keller\, Educator\, and Brian Autar\, Mentor \n\n\n\nSome may be aware that our Long Island home has a very unique geography\, and important water resources that were shaped about 21\,000 years ago during the last ice age. In today’s class\, we will learn about the two massive glacial drifts and moraines—the Ronkonkoma and Harbor Hill Moraines that created the landmass on which we live. We will explore the North Shore and South Shore features and the underground aquifers\, groundwater\, and the history of the L.I. Sound that comprise the ecosystem and water we need to survive. Through hands-on model making and experimentation\, we will see how the ongoing evolution of land and water works together\, and the human awareness that is necessary for its future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFRIDAY JULY 31STAM – The History and Science of Soap Making with Steeve Sproul\, STEM Educator Has anyone ever wondered where soap comes from or how it works? During this class\, participants will learn about the history\, science\, and interesting fun facts related to soap making and usage in cultures from around the world\, starting with ancient Babylonians and Egyptians to the Romans through the Middle Ages\, and during the Industrial Revolution of the 18th-19th centuries. We will then embark on a related science experiment and create bars of soap to take home. In addition to making the soap itself\, there will be an option to add natural decorative elements. Come enjoy learning about the importance of soap making and embark on the process with others.PM – Magnifying Technology and Patterns in Nature with Steeve Sproul\, STEM Educator\, and Brian Autar\, Mentor \n\n\n\nMagnifying tools can reveal the hidden mathematical wisdom at work in nature\, allowing us to see how microscopic structures form complex\, repeating designs of fractals (ferns and snowflakes)\, spirals (nautilus shells and scales of pinecones)\, and symmetry (butterflies and leaves)\, based on number sequences that provide scientists with profound blueprints for technological innovation. Today\, we will learn about these hidden patterns in nature and use various magnifying tools such as a hand-held magnifying glass\, a miniature zoom lens for an iPhone\, and a microscope to explore concepts such as the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio\, the mathematical sequences\, and rules that govern biological growth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummer at the Sangha 2026\n\n\n\nSee all the Summer at the Sangha events > \n\n\n\nDuring this 4-week general public program\, teens and young adults with a range of abilities (in middle\, high school\, college\, and the workplace) are introduced to a sampling of hands-on\, heart-centered inclusive community classes with nature & wellness themes including history\, culture\, science\, and creative arts.

The cold porcelain claywork making process requires instruction on handling the clay after it’s cooked and cooled and ways in which to create various patterns. Strings and chains will be provided and added to the clay based on each design choice. Once fully dry\, we will paint and decorate our creations during our third session on 7/27. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWEDNESDAY JULY 15TH \n\n\n\nAM – Marine Life Education & Touch Tank with The WaterFront Center of Oyster Bay  \n\n\n\nWe are excited to have The WaterFront Center of Oyster Bay with us once again for a marine life education session that includes a touch tank filled with various invertebrate that inhabit the local waters of Oyster Bay and the Long Island Sound. Participants will handle and identify different species and explore their characteristics\, learning about locomotion\, feeding behavior\, and habitats. In addition\, come to understand how we can protect our waters and marine life. Species usually consist of clams\, oysters\, hermit crabs\, spider crabs\, sea stars\, horseshoe crabs\, and more. These interesting creatures are interdependent in our ecosystem(s)\, and we can take part in further discovery through an outing to The WaterFront Center and Friends of the Bay during the Fall or Spring seasons.PM – Expressing Yourself Through Mixed Media Collage with Gae Polisner\, Attorney\, Writer\, and Artist \n\n\n\nGae Polisner is an attorney and author of seven award-winning novels for young readers. Gae’s most recent endeavor\, developed during the COVID-19 Pandemic\, is a unique form of collaging which she refers to as “Lyric Collage” that has also won her several awards\, including from the prestigious Art League of Long Island. She will be sharing her talent and creativity with us today. This class is intended for every level of artist. Through the combining of pre-existing images\, including those in nature with oil crayon\, found poetry\, and more\, participants will be inspired to create a vibrant and distinctive work of personal expression. Covering basic concepts of color\, contrast\, and technique\, all of those involved will create works that bring their worldview or current mood to the canvas\, whatever form that canvas takes. Examples of Gae’s art will be brought in for viewing so that how this unique art form takes shape becomes clear\, serving as a base for participants’ vision. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFRIDAY JULY 17THAM – Modge Podge Art Enchantments with Christine Keller\, Educator and Rob Gaudio\, Mentor \n\n\n\nThe magic of Modge Podge alone has a way of enhancing art with either a matte or glossy finish that helps designs come to life. But we will be creating “art enchantments” by using Modge Podge and various craft supplies to mystically elevate the scenes of our Mixed Media Collages completed with Gae Polisner. A sparkle here\, a 3D flower there\, a charm or drop of color on a black and white piece\, creates the ambience that enables the piece to feel enchanted! These finishing touches on our collages will demonstrate how to take art to a different level. Gae will provide insight and examples from her work\, and we will determine how to incorporate these ideas into our own art. \n\n\n\nPM – Remember Liss: A New American Founding Figure with Claire Bellerjeau\, Historian & Author  \n\n\n\nJoin historian and author Claire Bellerjeau for this impactful community class as she shares her discovery of a new American founding figure named Elizabeth\, or Liss\, for whom her book Remember Liss is dedicated. Liss was enslaved by the Townsend family of Oyster Bay and Jericho\, New York – including by James Townsend\, who once lived in part of Malcolm House. The most famous member of the Townsend family was Robert Townsend\, aka “Culper\, Jr.”\, George Washington’s lead spy in Manhattan during the Revolutionary War\, as retold in Espionage and Enslavement in the Revolution. Liss’s escape from Oyster Bay with the British during the Revolutionary War\, re-enslavement in Manhattan and later Charleston\, and her complex struggle for freedom give new insight into the country’s founding era through the eyes of an enslaved Black woman seeking liberty in a country fighting for its own. Participants will learn about techniques used by the spies\, including invisible ink\, the Culper Code\, and other methods of secret communication.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummer at the Sangha 2026\n\n\n\nSee all the Summer at the Sangha events > \n\n\n\nDuring this 4-week general public program\, teens and young adults with a range of abilities (in middle\, high school\, college\, and the workplace) are introduced to a sampling of hands-on\, heart-centered inclusive community classes with nature & wellness themes including history\, culture\, science\, and creative arts.
