Tim Bryant with One Love Prison Meditation Project.
Tim Bryant, who is the founder and executive director of the one love prison meditation project. He has been unfortunate could conduct hundreds of prison meditation programs in the last 15 years, the first time he volunteered at the Folsom prison in California, he didn't know what to expect, but he was amazed at the love and peace that he felt walking into the prison.
And he did not expect to feel that eventually, he learned why when incarcerated men told him many of us haven't had visitors in years, our families have. This isn't a place where your spiritual well-being, it can be a party, but when someone from the outside comes in and offers their spiritual support to them, it is priceless.
After 14 years of volunteering in prison is see firsthand, the need and positive impact of teaching meditation classes. He has started one love prism meditation. Recently at their weekly class in Macon state prison in Georgia, I discovered that some of their students were Muslim, Christian, and Buddhist still there.
We all were coming together and meditating and experiencing peace and using the practice of meditation to grow emotionally and spiritually. No matter our religion, it was beautiful. We do this work to give them love and support, to meditate so that they may experience healing, and say they may experience the peace and joy of their true selves.
