A Drawing by Barbara Dondero |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Barbara Dondero, a former nun, is a life long seeker of quiet, spiritual and
artistic expression who uses art to teach others how to access
— and trust
— their inner wisdom. For over 30 years Barbara has taught art
to youngsters of all ages and, in the 1990's, began to work
with persons with dementia at the Alzheimer Resource
Center of Connecticut. She helped pioneer an approach to drawing,
based on the work of Dr. Lucia Cappachione, which focuses on using the non-dominant hand.
"Here is what you do," Barbara who is left-handed writes: "First. the conscious mind writes a question or problem with the dominant hand in its habitual linear mode. After a pause in quiet meditation, an answer will emerge through the non dominant hand bringing forth intuitive and deep responses to the situation. This tool can be easily integrated with any journaling techniques." |
