Book under construction--you may contribute ideas:
The author is currently reviewing organized, replicable programs for groups of children that help "plug children back into their inner wisdom and sense of oneness to others." Emphasis is for situations where there are groups of kids vs. ideas for one or two children at home. Programs to which parents can take their kids, that neighborhoods can create, or schools and other youth/camp/children's groups can implement. They need to prove they draw out inner wisdom, soul, and the desire to contribute along with a secured inner decision to do no harm. They must not obviously or secretively have a second agenda of pushing a specific religion. Programs serve groups of children and teens, both genders and all ages up to age 18. They can be age or gender specific, but the author is also interested in concepts that help the genders and ages intermingle with respect and harmony.
Barbara Josephine Berst Adams is the author of non-fiction adult and children's books and a feature writer for national and international magazines. She has taught inspired writing to adults and children, and is entering the fiction children's book arena.

She and her artist/photographer husband, Kipp Davis, live on an island between the fertile Skagit Valley and the chain of evergreen San Juan Islands in Washington State. They enjoy the sunny micro-climate of the islands, the nearby Cascade Mountains and temperate rainforests.

Here they are restoring their six-acre farm's heirloom gardens, antique apple orchard, wildlife sanctuary and farm animal experiences for children, and have consulted one of North America's first sacred architects to plan future outdoor art and structures based on inspired village, cottage, temple and castle designs.

Also an experienced healer, Barbara and her husband founded the spiritual non-profit World Grace Foundation, which works with African orphans, French mysteries, American local economy, sustainability, the arts, spiritual exploration, and natural healing.

Their travels have taken them to much of the U.S., to South Africa, Europe and Mexico. They have four grown children, one grandchild, and a collection of pets and rare breed farm animals.
