Connecting from the Heart brings healing and hope to currently and formerly incarcerated people, using an effective combination of mental wellness education, meditation techniques and therapeutic music, both in-person and online. 


Our presenters are certified and licensed mental health care practitioners, professional musicians, and mindfulness teachers, assisted by a wonderful group of volunteers.  Everyone on our team is engaging, authentic and willing to be vulnerable, and this sets the groundwork for our near 100% participation from the people attending. 

Our workshops are highly experiential in nature, helping participants to acquire skills to cope with anxiety, frustration, depression and anger.  They leave with a renewed understanding that they possess the ability to make profound changes in their own lives. For those who have access to the internet, our website contains a substantial library of videos to supplement and reinforce what's presented in the workshops.  

The proof of our effectiveness is that 80% of the institutions where we present workshops have asked us to return on a regular basis. Your donation will empower our clients to live a life they didn’t know was possible. Please join us in helping these people to step into their new lives. Thank you!
