An expected outcome is building new relationships with groups underserved by the arts especially by teaching mandalas and working with adults in assisted living, memory care residents and battered women and children in our Rochester Women's Shelter. I will evaluate the grant by using a commentary book at my Capstone Event, will ask participants of each class to fill out a brief survey and keep track of classes, numbers attending, revenues raised and listening to oral evaluations and stories.
Using my new Mandala process/ DVD to engage adults in rest homes, some with dementia (surprised by results). Others experienced healing/ quiet meditation. Expanded my current teaching tools. (Records and DVD).
