Breathe for Change is leading the movement to transform education, starting with the people who make it possible. We teach educators how to activate their full Human Intelligence – the cognitive, emotional, social, somatic, and universal capacities that foster transformative teaching and learning. Through evidence-based degree programs, certifications, and trainings, we empower educators to enhance well-being, improve educational outcomes, and reach their full human potential.

Prison Mindfulness Institute (aka Prison Dharma Network (PDN)), is an international, nonsectarian, contemplative support network for prisoners, prison volunteers, and corrections professionals. Our mission is to provide prisoners, and those who work with them, with the most effective contemplative tools for self-transformation and rehabilitation. We support prisoners in the practice of contemplative disciplines, with an emphasis on mindfulness and meditation practices. We promote these paths of wakefulness and non-aggression as ideal vehicles for self-rehabilitation and personal transformation. We believe in the power of the various mindfulness-awareness practices and body-mind disciplines of the world’s contemplative traditions to change behaviors, transform lives, and ultimately to reduce recidivism, prevent crime, and enhance community safety and well-being.
