I think what's so critically important- and I think this has come up for us as the next chapter in our life as an organization- is what is beyond us and them.
Ever thought about how simple acts of listening and sharing can transform lives? In this episode, the Prison Yoga Project sits down with Jared Seide, the Executive Director of Center for Council. Jared's work has taken him to diverse places like prisons, youth groups, and even police departments, all with one goal in mind: fostering empathy and connection through the practice of council. Council is a method where people come together to listen deeply, share stories, and offer support.
It's not just about talking; it's about truly hearing each other and breaking down barriers. Jared shares how this practice has been particularly impactful in prisons, where it helps reduce isolation and build a sense of community among inmates. But the benefits of council extend far beyond prison walls. Jared discusses its applications in schools, organizations, and various community settings, highlighting how it can help anyone build stronger, more empathetic connections.
He also touches on the relationship between council, yoga, and mindfulness, offering insights into how these practices can work together to promote healing and resilience. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in social justice, mental health, or simply looking for ways to foster deeper connections in their own lives.
