Program + Curriculum Development

I design programs, curriculum, and unique special projects for schools, organizations, and non-profits. I work with both child and adult populations.

I create rituals and ceremonies to support transitions, celebrations and grief and loss.

Some of these include:

  • 1991-The Quilt of Cultural Understanding. A photo quilt and narratives by children promoting cultural understanding in the Roaring Fork Valley. Children were given cameras to “photograph their world” Essays were written to share their life experiences.

“While creating the agenda for our Family Resource Center end-of-year retreat I wanted to include a creative team experience and Sheri’s name immediately popped into my head. I knew she would facilitate a beautiful process and would support us with creating something unique and truly reflective of our team. Sheri arrived at our retreat site early and prepared for our team session. Her warmth and passion were gratefully received by our team. We all felt safe to share and created a colorful piece of art together that we decided to hang in our shared family space in Carbondale. Thank you, Sheri, for all you offer to our community!”
