CURRENT PROJECT FOR PUBLICATION

WANDER & WRITE! IN THE WHITES: poetry book and class.

MASTER'S of EDUCATION THESIS Lisa's thesis at Lesley University in MA, studied the effects of Outdoor Education and Healing Arts on character development. Her programs proved to increase resislancy, in students.  The Thesis was overseen by several very respected educators, including Dr. Thomas Lickona of SUNY Cortland who guided her work instructing Professors at Universities and the Character Education International Organization and K-12 classes. Her thesis included programs that have come into fruition in today's public schools: Charcter development thru Adventure Education and Garden Classrooms. Currently one of her thesis programs, Poetic Choreograpy, is the subject of a book, a class and symbolic garden design to be accessed by the community. "Life work, that can help light up others, is a gift!"
