Rest and Resist: the Power of Meditation For The Incarcerated Community w Tim Bryant onelovepmp.org
Manage episode 339578902 series 3335056
Incarcerated host Phillip A Jones speaks with Tim Bryant, Founder and Executive Director Hear from Tim: I’ve been fortunate to conduct hundreds of prison meditation programs in the last 15 years. The first time I volunteered at Folsom Prison in California, I didn’t know what to expect. I was amazed at the love and peace I felt walking into the prison, and I didn’t expect to feel that. Eventually, I learned why, when an incarcerated man told me, “Many of us haven’t had visitors in years. Our families have gone. This isn’t a place where your spiritual well-being can be a priority. But when someone from the outside comes in to offer their spiritual support to us, it is priceless.” After 14 years of volunteering in prison and seeing firsthand the need and positive impact of teaching meditation classes, I started One Love Prison Meditation Project.
