This event is a fundraiser for BP3.
For over a decade the Buddhist Pathways Prison Project (BP3) has been teaching mindfulness and Buddhism in California's state prisons. During this day of teachings, stories and practice, we will share what we have learned about forgiveness, overcoming denial, and healing while teaching mindfulness and compassion inside these institutions. Everyone is welcome, including those interested in volunteering in prisons, formerly incarcerated people, and anyone interested in learning lessons in reconciliation, peace, and overcoming anger and violence.
Taught by teachers from BP3 including founder Diane Wilde, with participation from several newly released formerly incarcerated people who will talk about their experience of Buddhist practice in the prison setting. For more information, contact us at info@buddhistpathways.org.
Registration is not required to attend this free event. Just show up! Donations gratefully accepted.
