Restorative Justice - Healing and rehabilitation for all persons involved, the victim, the offender and the community.
When we work together anything is possible… even the first ever Restorative Justice Fair inside a maximum security prison!
The Team (from left to right) - Frank Vaughn, Glen Jefferson, Brahmankyrie, Ruben Radillo, Shawn Khalifa. Boom!
Restorative Justice
During the course of the weekend there were many emotional moments. People felt safe to let their guard down and get vulnerable. This was an unprecedented occurrence in prison and all because of people such as Fernando Milsap who guided these men in remorse letter writing and supported them throughout the entire process. A true divine steward.
The ones that are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones that do… Mahatma Ghandi
Bishop, Ryan Grider & Mel Price getting their groove on. These men are unbelievable musicians who inspire and uplift their community regularly through their musical talent and massive hearts.
Unbelievable talent and unbreakable spirits…
Volunteers
A massive shout out to all of our volunteers who spent their time and energy with us that weekend. Many have had quite a life of their own in many ways and still chose to come in to the prison in the name of healing and Restorative Justice. It was a privilege to stand with you. May your courage set you free.
It would have been an injustice fair if there was no dancing! One must always dance dance dance to move the energy and get the good vibes flowing! It totally raises your vibration!
“Music.. will help you dissolve your perplexities and purify your character and sensibilities and in time of care and sorrow, will keep a fountain of joy alive in you” …Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Divine Blessings
On the final day of the Restorative Justice Fair we offered Satsang, which is a service that means “a gathering of truth seekers”. We prayed and meditated on forgiveness for ourselves and others and at the end of the group meditation we offered blessings. Our team walked throughout the congregation lightly placing our palms on their heads and connecting to the love that flows throughout this entire universe.
