"Hurt people hurt people; healed people heal people." --Warlock and Brother G, San Quentin State Prison
It's About Your Stance Not Circumstance
"Jacques Verduin can speak with deep understanding about being worthy of our suffering. In 1997, he founded the Insight Prison Project, an innovative in-prison rehabilitative program in the notorious San Quentin prison, and later in 2011 the Insight-Out Program. There he works with violent offenders, listening to their stories, hearing what lies beneath their crimes. Through mindfulness training and deep trauma healing, his incarcerated clients transform their lives by learning to care for themselves, then in turn by becoming change agents in their community, be it their neighborhoods or the prison system itself."
BE THE CHANGE
Look deeply at your hurt. Is it causing you to hurt others? What steps can you take toward healing?
