Immerse yourself in the beautiful setting of Penn Forest Natural Burial Park, where breath by breath and
pinch by pinch, you will be guided in creating small intentional ceramic pinch pots to the soothing
vibrations of crystal bowls and the sounds of the forest.

Ceramic artist Stephanie Flom and sound artist Katie DeFiglio will be offering guided sitting meditation in the open-air Meditation Hut, walking meditation on the nearby woodland trail, and hand-building silently with clay. You’ll close each session with the deep calm of a crystal bowl sound bath.

Bring a yoga mat for the sound bath. Chairs and cushions will be provided as sitting options as you sit and create.

Join Stephanie and Katie for one, two or all three monthly (June, July and August) sessions. All ceramic work will be bisque fired and available for pick up at Penn Forest during business hours.

We’d love for you to join us!

Cost: $30 per session
