Who We Are

How We Help

Preparing for a successful transition back into the community starts on the inside. Our in-prison programs are designed to support individuals as they get ready to build new lives beyond the walls.

These programs cover essential topics such as mental health, life skills, healthy relationships, and education/employment readiness. We also offer holistic wellness programming focused on trauma healing and personal growth.

Currently, we offer our services exclusively at the Correctional Training Facility (CTF) in Soledad, CA. If you're interested in bringing our programs to another institution, please visit our Contact page and reach out—we’d love to hear from you.


Our in-prison programming is made possible entirely through generous donations. Every contribution helps us continue delivering meaningful, transformative classes to those preparing for a fresh start. To support this work, please click the donate button below.

In prison programming

Crochet Corner

Real Love, Real Talk

Real Love, Real Talk

 Crochet Corner is a powerful example of creativity, healing, and purpose behind the walls. Led by a group of incarcerated men, this initiative uses crochet as a tool for connection and contribution. With focus and care, the men handcraft stuffed animals—each stitch representing patience, growth, and hope. These lovingly made creations are then donated to children in need, turning time served into time given back. Through Crochet Corner, these men reclaim their humanity, challenge stereotypes, and prove that even inside prison, they can be a source of comfort, kindness, and service to the community.  

Real Love, Real Talk

Real Love, Real Talk

 Real Love, Real Talk is a 12-week trauma-informed, reentry-focused curriculum designed for incarcerated individuals who are ready to grow, heal, and build stronger connections. Through engaging weekly sessions, participants explore key topics like communication, boundaries, attachment styles, trust, emotional safety, and love after incarceration.  Rooted in self-awareness and empowerment, this program offers practical tools and reflective exercises to help participants develop healthy relationship habits—both with others and with themselves.  

The Aura Project

Real Love, Real Talk

Pre-Release Prep Program

 The Aura Project is a 6-week holistic healing program designed to support the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of incarcerated individuals. Each week explores a different healing modality—from sound therapy and meditation to journaling and crystal work—offering both education and hands-on practice. Through this trauma-informed approach, participants are empowered with tools for self-discovery, stress relief, and inner transformation.

LGBTQ+ Support/Education

LGBTQ+ Support/Education

Our LGBTQ+ Support Group and Education Classes provide a safe, affirming space for incarcerated individuals and allies to come together, learn, and support one another. The Support Group offers LGBTQ+ individuals a chance to connect, share experiences, and build resilience in a community that understands their unique challenges. Meanwhile, the Education Class is designed for allies and anyone interested in learning more about the LGBTQ+ community, promoting understanding, empathy, and inclusivity. Together, these initiatives foster healing, empower individuals to become effective allies, and create a supportive environment where everyone is seen, heard, and valued
