Project Silver Lining

Project Silver Lining is an innovative multi-disciplinary program combining mindfulness/yoga, film analysis, and the visual arts. The goals of the program are to enable students to access their own voices, to broaden their perspectives, and to inspire them to envision their future through self-reflection. Concepts of trust and respect, personal development and social justice are at the core of this school-based program. Project Silver Lining offers powerful lifelong tools for social and emotional well-being to elementary through high school students. The program is carefully adapted to the needs of each site.

Abby Wills, a leading educator in yoga/mindfulness, is an ongoing collaborator and teacher of PSL. In summer 2020, Abby developed PSL 2.0 2020 as an effective digital/zoom platform for a national program for teens.

Project Silver Lining is now available on Zoom.

"For four years working with Barnsdall Arts, they have shown exemplary curricular programs that have demonstrated effective practices in the areas of art, mural making, and mindfulness. This year my school is in its 5th year of Project Silver Lining and Art Residency. It would not have been possible without the support of Shelah Lehrer-Graiwer and the Barnsdall Arts teaching staff.”
