Art as Activism and Activism as Healing…
The Adoption Mandala is something I created and used to change a law related to adoption in the state of Montana. Seriously, it’s official. I won! More people have access to their Original Birth Certificates than before this law was passed in 2015. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY – birthmothers who requested records were sealed in Montana can now request the records be UNSEALED. That’s huge!
It wasn’t perfect, but it was an excellent first step. There’s still much to do on that front. I presented the Adoption Mandala at a few conferences and made great waves in the big world of helping people. I am one among many who indeed strive to make the world an even better place than it already is – which is pretty great when you take the time to notice it. Hint hint – this is an inspirational moment. If I can be why a law changed and lives improved – you can too!

Due to the traumatic impact of adoption, I offer these workshops at a significantly reduced rate and donate a portion of the proceeds to Concerned United Birthparents, a national organization worth supporting. These workshops are similar to my Creative Thinking Classes but with an Adoption Mandala twist. I gladly accept requests for private and group events.
