Help The Light Inside Burn Brighter!

We’ve taught hundreds who live and work in the corrections system.

Now we’re ready to teach thousands.

But we can’t do it alone.

The current political climate has had a devastating impact on in-prison rehabilitation programs.

Funding has been slashed substantially or eliminated entirely.

Together we can raise $108,000 to break the cycle of incarceration.

2026 Program Goals

  • Our primary goal is to train incarcerated people on site, in New York City, Bismarck, Mandan and Jamestown, Stockton and Calipatria

  • Provide regular online follow-up meditation meetings for new trainees and those who’ve trained previously.

  • We aim to grow our evaluation assessing the distress-to-wellbeing trajectory of incarcerated people who learn meditation and expand our evaluation to internal correction facility measurements such as disciplinary infraction rates.

  • We hope to share our evaluation outcomes with other corrections institutions, with the aim of expanding our programs to more correctional facilities.

A mind and body free of stress create fundamental change on the human level creating a safer and more harmonious change on the systems level.

Our programs help heal trauma plaguing those in the prison system. Ninety five per cent of incarcerated people will leave prison one day. Our programs fundamentally reshape a person to help their re-entry and their ongoing life outside.
