Sculpting the Sacred: Cycle Wisdom & Creative Ritual with Sasha Botanica & Diana Wassef
Saturday, August 8, 2026 | 2–5 PM
Heartsong Sanctuary | High Falls, NY
Join us for an afternoon of creativity and connection with the living earth.
We will begin by gathering in circle to explore cyclical awareness and the ways our bodies move through seasons of activity, rest, creativity, and renewal. Through guided discussion and reflection, we'll consider how paying attention to these rhythms can support greater self-awareness and well-being.
This gathering also includes the option to visit a natural clay deposit on the land at Heartsong Sanctuary. Those who wish are invited to cover their skin with the mineral-rich clay before rinsing off in the sanctuary's beautiful spring-fed pond.
Our bodies are made from many of the same minerals found in the earth beneath our feet. Working directly with clay offers a grounding sensory experience while natural clay has long been valued for helping draw excess oil and impurities from the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and softened.
Afterward, we'll gather beneath the outdoor pavilion to sculpt our own goddess figurines from clay. No artistic experience is necessary—this is an intuitive and accessible creative practice open to everyone. If you’d prefer not to participate in the body clay experience, the Goddess Temple will be open throughout the afternoon as a quiet space for meditation or reflection.
Whether you choose to immerse yourself in clay and water, sculpt with your hands, or simply enjoy the sanctuary, this afternoon offers an opportunity to slow down, cool off, and reconnect with yourself, your creativity, and the natural world.
Please bring: a towel, a bathing suit (or clothing you don't mind getting muddy), water, and anything else that will help you feel comfortable outdoors.
All materials provided. No sculpting experience necessary. Finished pieces will be fired at a later date and available for pickup once complete.
