Wellness Inside

Healing doesn't wait
for release.

We bring trauma-informed wellness practices directly inside California prisons — because the people living there deserve care, regulation, and community now.

Our Work Inside

The work we bring
beyond the walls.

Incarcerated people carry layered trauma from the system itself, from what preceded it, and from being separated from their communities. Our in prison programs offer modalities proven to soften the nervous system, build self-awareness, and restore a sense of dignity.

The Practices

What we teach
inside.

Every practice is chosen for one reason: it meets people exactly where they are and asks nothing they can't give.

Sound Healing & Meditation

Guided sessions using sound to quiet the mind and regulate the body.

Nervous System Regulation

Breathwork and somatic tools to move out of survival mode.

Tea & Cacao Ceremony

Sacred pauses that open the heart and invite presence.

Accessible Yoga

Adaptive movement that works in any space, at any ability.

EFT Tapping

Emotional freedom technique for releasing what the body holds.

Authentic Relating

Honest connection through structured practices of truth-telling.

Community Circle

Held spaces where stories are witnessed and belonging is built.

Self-Compassion Work

Practices that rebuild the relationship with oneself.

Guided Meditation on TVs in Prison

In partnership with CDCR, our guided meditations are broadcast across the in-facility television network reaching every housing unit across California prisons.

For many, it is the only daily wellness resource they have access to. We're building a library.
