And paint\, stain or decorate our instruments. Malcolm Hall will guide us throughout the process an inspire us with his musical talent and tales from Guyana. Sample indigenous drums and other instruments will be brought in to practice with during today’s session. We can discuss colors and patterns and the significance in certain indigenous cultures by which participants can choose a color or pattern that appeals to or holds meaning for them to use in their design. \n\n\n\nWe are excited to have The WaterFront Center of Oyster Bay join us once again for a marine life education session with a touch tank filled with species from the local area to identify\, handle\, and explore in detail including learning about our natural water habitats and how to protect them and the life that they support. These interesting creatures are interdependent in our ecosystem(s) and we can take part in further exploration through an outing to The WaterFront Center and Friends of the Bay in upcoming seasons.Friday\, 7/25:AM – Meadow Farm Garden Decoration DayPM – Paint Dyeing with Magical Indigo Leaves \n\n\n\nWe are excited to teach through a short presentation about the symbolic meaning of Medicine Wheel Gardens in certain Native American cultures. And we will continue decorating ours for all to enjoy. The presentation will be followed by rock painting. 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. We will experience the magic of Indigo creating beautiful patterns that are uniquely ours. \n\n\n\n\nSummer at the Sangha 2025\n\n\n\nSee all the Summer At The Sangha events > \n\n\n\nDuring this 4-week summer 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 nature and wellness community classes across various subject areas such as history\, science\, and creative art outlets.

They will provide background information about the local communities impacted by toxins in our soil\, water\, and air. And how we can contribute to transforming these places to become cleaner and healthier environments for all. 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. We can enjoy hands-on petting and grooming and will experience the calm\, and connection these amazing animals make possible. \n\n\n\nWednesday\, 7/16: \n\n\n\nAM – Medicine Wheel Herb Garden PM – Creative Mosaic Art – Garden Stepping StonesThis morning we will begin our day with a native Penobscot legend of Arrowhead Finger to set the stage for planting herbs in our Medicine Wheel Garden.

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.

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.
