Our final four class series of 2022 have just opened for women outside facilities, you can attend from your home anywhere in the world.

This is for anyone interested in the work, you don't have to have been a former felon. Our work is led by two women, one formerly incarcerated, and myself, the two of us met while Carol was incarcerated. We are real, dreamers, laughers, and truth-tellers who invite you to join us on this wild ride of life wholeheartedly.

Our work shares our facilitation style inside prison and builds long-lasting community, empathy, creative work, and listening skills in just 4 classes. We are currently building a team of women interested in facilitating this work inside other women's prisons.

Sign up today and join our growing collective of female-identifying voices inside and outside prison facilities coming together to create, listen, learn, move, and make. We are beginning expansion into Virginia and Ireland THIS Fall, so now is a great time to join our class series.

Inside, we have offered our work to 2,200 women in three states (classes, newsletters, audio, and video recordings), created over 60 newsletters for women inside, and monthly teach the caseworkers at one of our facilities.

Inside the facility, we teach 11 women weekly in Wyoming (covid number max), and monthly the caseworkers at this facility. In Oregon, we are waiting for our in-person weekly classes to begin again any day now, we serve 1600 women and trans folks at this facility. In Nebraska, we teach a group of 22 women (max for covid number currently) weekly in an ongoing 8-class series. Next month, we will lead two full days of in-person work in NE and WY together.

We will bring home much of this work to share at our backyard fundraising event on September 11 at 9:30 am PT-12 pm in my backyard- Stepping Forward: remembering our past, honoring our future forward. You'll hear stories from the women inside, see their artwork, and have their words read aloud to you. At this event, you'll also have the opportunity to start your day with yoga, nibble on some yummy things made by our Board Members, and hear some beautiful music by Elke Robitaille. It'll be a sweet, deeply meaningful event. The suggested donation for this event is $50, you can make that donation here. For more info, please send me an email. This event is in person only.

This Fall we head to NE and WY to facilitate in person over two days, and this summer we are working in Boston to facilitate at an art studio, Create Art In Community, where we are bridging the gap between women inside prison and women outside as we build community and conversation through art making practices.
