A New Approach to Justice: Meditation, Healing, and Human Change
Please join us on February 10 for a special evening exploring the impact that transformative meditation can have, not only within the criminal justice system, but within each of us.
The cycle of incarceration rarely affects only those behind bars. Its consequences ripple outward: touching incarcerated people, their families and loved ones; shaping the daily lives of correctional staff, and ultimately influencing the wellbeing of entire communities.
The Light Inside is a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to meditation in prison systems throughout the United States. Their mission is grounded in a simple but powerful idea: when inner conflict resolves, human behavior changes, and that shift benefits not only the individual, but everyone they encounter.
We invite you to hear about The Light Inside’s work inside prisons and to contemplate how your own inner life influences the world around you.
We would love to have you with us.
Please RSVP.
Joh Jarvis is the founder and executive director of The Light Inside. She’s a Vedic Meditation teacher who has brought transformative meditation programs into some of the most high-stress and complex environments in the U.S. corrections system. Through these programs, Joh has taught hundreds of people within the prison system how to access inner stillness and release the deep stress that fuels anger, grief, and emotional disconnection. In 2021, she founded The Light Inside, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to meditation for incarcerated individuals and correctional staff across the U.S. Her mission is rooted in the belief that inner transformation is possible for everyone—and that meditation can be a powerful catalyst for healing and change, even in the most unlikely places.
