In September 2020, we started the Unconditional Freedom Project, with the vision of turning prisons into monasteries. We launched the course with our book, The Art of Soulmaking, at a state facility in California. The Art of Soulmaking workbook teaches prison residents contemplative practices, along with meditation and yoga. Every student is paired with a volunteer to correspond with by mail as they journey through the course.
We currently have over 200 people enrolled in the program and our waitlist is growing each week as women inside hear about us from those in our program!
The staff and volunteer letter writers at The Unconditional Freedom Project put our pens and hearts to paper and have been writing to our incarcerated participants as they journey through soulmaking. Naturally, we get shaped in the process, learning to meet each person human-to-human and heart-to-heart. As the number of people in our program continues to expand, our network of trained volunteers who correspond with these women grows too. Our volunteers are made up of people from local community centers, senior homes, donors and friends from around the country.
