Inner Stillness with Sound and Clay Tuesday, June 16, 2026 6:00 – 8:00 pm Penn Forest Natural Burial Park, 121 Colorado St, Verona, PA

Facilitators: Stephanie Flom, ceramic artist and Katie DeFiglio, sound artist

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.

Each session will include guided sitting meditation in the open-air Meditation Hut, walking meditation on the nearby woodland trail, hand-building silently with clay—either on the pavilion platform or in the woods. We’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.

Participate in one, two or all three monthly (June, July, August) sessions. All ceramic work will be bisque fired and available for pick up after September 8, 2026 at Penn Forest Natural Burial Park during business hours.

We’d love for you to join us!

Cost: $30 per session If cost is a barrier, just let us know at: https://katiedefiglio.com/contact. All are welcome.
