Our intention is to provide individuals impacted by mass incarceration with access to free retreats & wellness programming in prison.

Core Principle

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu is the underlying core principle at The Heart Center. Translated, it means May all beings everywhere be happy, joyous, and free. Toward that, we value love, healthy communication, and definitive boundaries.

At The Heart Center, we feel that the wellness of one is the wellness of all.

The Problem

The mental health repercussions of trauma and distress within the context of mass incarceration have led to recidivism and suicidal ideation among affected individuals.

The Solution

The Heart Center's intention is to provide individuals impacted by incarceration with access to free healing retreats and wellness practices. We aim to break the cycles of trauma and recidivism, creating a path for individuals to reintegrate into society with resilience and emotional well-being. With a focus on healing the root causes of incarceration, we strive to restore dignity, practice self-love, and deepen self study.
