The ALPHA Effect™
A full immersion music and art based program designed to
accelerate reading, writing and listening skills, and to
provide enhanced opportunities for personal growth
creativity and learning success.
The ALPHA Effect™ is an evidence-based auditory and sensory
integration program that strengthens communication, social, and
cognitive skills. The ALPHA Effect™ promotes learning through the
Arts, Love of Language, Phonics/Phonemic Awareness Skills, Hands-
on Learning and Active Listening. This Tomatis-based program
consists of minimally 30 sessions of an active listening component,
using filtered classical music (Mozart and Gregorian Chants)
specifically designed for the child’s or adult’s needs. While listening,
individuals engage in spatially oriented tasks, such as puzzles and
mazes, painting, and drawing. We include sensory integration
exercises such as crossing-the-midline drawings and other sensory
integration techniques. The ALPHA Effect™ pulls together the
musical, visual, verbal, spatial/kinesthetic and logical modes of
learning and makes use of the fifty-plus years of research by Dr.
Alfred Tomatis, into the nature and remediation of auditory
processing delays.

Art Connection
An Art, Learning & Wellness Center for ALL Ages!
Truly a community art center, Art Connection was conceived of a simple thought...to be a center
that inspires community wellness and empower our future. Launching into reality May 2009 Art
Connection was prompted by the generosity of one community member and has since spread into
the hearts and helping hands of many. Art Connection has opened it’s doors June 2009 and is now
home in Ruidoso, New Mexico. We share our space with wellness practioners Anita Parra (offering
QX and healing ionic foot soaks) and Gerald St. Claire (a nutritional consultation and reflexology
practitioner). We are an art center with weekly drop in art workshops for children and adults,
scheduled art classes and home office of Sierra Dove Global Association. In the fall we’ll launch The
ALPHA Effect and continuations of Eating SmART, both programs developed by Sierra Dove
Executive Director, Julia Price. Art Connection is an inspiring and supportive atmosphere for all
kinds of artists to teach classes and host weekly drop in creative experiences and workshops. We are
a center for group gatherings, club meetings, private art parties… for musicians, movement and
spoken word. We are a center for service to the community by the community. Contact Volunteer
Coordinator, Shelly Brack at shelly@sierradove.org for all the possible ways you can lend a hand.
Eating SmART
An innovative art and nutrition program to bridge the summer months for New
Mexico’s Children.
Sixty-eight per cent of New Mexico’s children receive free or reduced-price meals during the
school year through USDA programs. But during the summer, when school is out, 156,000 of these
children go hungry. Summer is the greatest time of need for these hungry children, yet there
exists a significant food gap in New Mexico, with far too few children being provided meals.
During the summer of 2007, Sierra Dove designed and implemented a nine-week half-day camp for
children, ages 4-16, called Eating SmART. The program’s goal is to provide program enhancement
through increased opportunities for youth to participate in art, music, and community gardening,
and more hands-on literacy activities. We will also provide nutritional guidance and “Taste
Adventures,” in the form of fresh, whole-food snacks, to promote healthy food choices. This summer
Sierra Dove will be providing services at two Mescalaro Boys and Girls Club locations.
As a supplement to the grant funding, which is primarily for food items, Sierra Dove anticipates and
will actively seek additional community contributions in the categories of the clubs needs for sporting
and camping Equipment; literacy/book contributions; and gardening materials, plus volunteer
assistance and in-kind donations from other area agencies and individuals.

Arts in the Making
A series of expressive arts outreach workshops created for homeless and at-risk
youth that brings them together with professional artists to share their passions for
the visual arts, music and movement.
First implemented in Seattle, Arts in the Making was originally designed to raise awareness about
the number of homeless teens and young adults living on the streets, but has become much more.
One of the main goals of Arts in the Making is to put Arts in the hands of kids who are living on the
street or have dropped out of school, because we know that the expressive arts are essential
foundational building blocks to greater learning, expressive language, and critical thinking. Art is
created, the written word is given poetic form, feelings are given a voice through musical expression,
and participants are moved. What we learned firsthand is that these teens love Art, Music, and
Movement, and for the time we are together, life is better.
The Art & Literacy Encounter
Free Workshop Art/Literacy Enrichment Series
The Art & Literacy Encounter is a hands-on, multi-sensory approach to learning that offers a wide
spectrum of reading enrichment experiences for children and their families in Central New Mexico.
It is a full-service family literacy project that seeks to actively involve parents and family members,
teachers, community organizations, area artists, and volunteers in a learning process that is both
joyful and productive.
The initiative provides creative workshops, tutorials, and a continuing, evidence-based after-school
literacy enrichment program. In addition, we provide after-school enrichment sessions
for children with special needs.
Through the Art & Literacy Encounter, Sierra Dove is also able to supply teacher training in the arts
and parent-child interactive workshops that foster literacy skills and heighten community
awareness about the value of the arts in education.
The Art & Literacy Encounter employs an integrative approach to literacy, incorporating art,
music and movement as tools for helping children become life-long learners and readers. This
program produces solid, measurable results in the arenas of strengthening academic
performance, as well as improving peer and parent/child social interactions.
