About Sarah McNeil and Naomi Tamura
Sarah McNeil and Naomi Tamura have enjoyed creative partnership through two successful group crochet collaborations with fellow O’Hanlon members. Both projects were juried into the annual O’Hanlon Fiber Arts Show: “Coral Reef”, exhibited in 2024 and “Wild Garden”, exhibited in 2025.In addition to crochet, Sarah enjoys embroidering on paper and fabric, as well as creating textile collages inspired by traditional quilting. Naomi likes to try all fiber arts, but mainly crochets, knits and sews, when she’s not drawing or painting. Drawing on their distinct passions and skills, Sarah and Naomi each bring a unique and inspiring stamp to their sewing and stitching projects.

Wabi-Sabi Saturday Retreat: A Perfectly Imperfect Day of Leisure
2026-08-08 10:00 - 15:00
Saturday, August 8, 2026 | 10AM – 3PM
Embrace the beauty of the flawed and join the grazing deer at the restorative, relaxing, and beautifully weathered grounds of O’Hanlon. This retreat day is dedicated to the art of Wabi-Sabi—the Japanese philosophy of finding perfection in imperfection.
We are gathering on 8/8, a double-eight date symbolizing infinity and limitless possibilities.
Begin outdoors in the sculpture garden with a warm cup of green tea and gentle stretching. Yoga teacher Sarah McNeil will guide the group into a period of silence, during which you are free to wander the grounds and sketch, write, or simply appreciate small elements of impermanence in the O’Hanlon landscape.
Mid-morning break the silence and choose your wabi-sabi adventure:
Photo Expedition (Led by Jackie LaLanne & Naomi Tamura): With a camera as your eye, take a stroll, perhaps meandering to the nearby Cascade Falls or Three Wells.
Sculpture (Led by Sherry Williamson): Create soulful sculptures using found natural elements— whether collected previously or gathered directly from the O’Hanlon grounds.
Sumi ink and paper will also be available for impromptu markmaking and any gesture of the moment.
Gather in community with a lunch packed from home, or opt-in for locally organized Bento Boxes (details upon registration).
We’ll close the circle in the afternoon, sharing thoughts and work, and leaving you rejuvenated to re-enter the outside world.
