Ways to Survive is now available in print. This little book of poems and paintings is intended to serve

as a meditative handbook that will offer its readers a meditation exercise each time they engage with it. Readers are invited to interact with this book, in stillness, taking their time patiently with each pairing, painting or poem.
​
All proceeds from sales of the printed version of Ways to Survive are being given to organizations

that Donna and Berna have chosen to support. In United States, the proceeds are being received by four strong and effective NGOs Donna is deeply involved with that support families and communities living

in deep poverty. In Istanbul, the proceeds are going to an NGO that supports families and children

who are displaced by the wars in the Middle East region.
