Mindfulness and Recovery with Kevin Griffin

Sounds True Foundation

“When I was drinking and using, I had problems, but I couldn’t deal with them. When I gave up drinking and using, I still had problems, but I could deal with them.” That is how Kevin Griffin describes the real difference recovery made in his life. This course is for people in recovery, people considering recovery, and anyone looking for practical tools to work with cravings, difficult emotions, and old patterns. Kevin Griffin is a Buddhist teacher, author, and person in long-term recovery, but this is not a course about becoming Buddhist.

You will practice noticing your thoughts, working with cravings and triggers, and treating yourself with more kindness.

Throughout all seven modules, 168 open-response reflection questions invite you to connect what you are learning to your own life. Because the truth is — your lived experience is not a liability.

The Second Sentence: Understanding Post-Incarceration Syndrome

Wife After Prison

**Course Description** Freedom begins long before the prison gate opens. **The Second Sentence: Understanding Post-Incarceration Syndrome** is a practical course designed to help incarcerated individuals understand how long-term incarceration can shape the way they think, feel, and respond to everyday life. Many of the behaviors that create challenges after release are not personal failures—they are survival adaptations developed in a highly controlled environment. Throughout this course, you will learn what Post-Incarceration Syndrome (PICS) is, where it comes from, and how it can affect decision-making, emotions, relationships, communication, trust, and daily life after release. More importantly, you will learn practical strategies you can begin using now, while you are still incarcerated, to prepare for a healthier transition home. Each lesson includes real-world examples, reflection questions, and practical tools designed to help you recognize patterns, build self-awareness, and develop skills that support successful reentry. Whether your release date is approaching or years away, the work of preparing for your second sentence starts today. This course is also valuable for anyone who wants to better understand the psychological impact of incarceration and why returning home often requires more than housing, employment, and good intentions. By understanding the hidden effects of incarceration, you can begin preparing not just for release—but for life beyond the gate. Disclaimer: This course discusses the emotional and psychological effects of incarceration and reentry. Some topics may bring up difficult memories or feelings. Move through the course at your own pace, pause when needed, and reach out to a trusted professional or facility staff member if you feel overwhelmed. Post-Incarceration Syndrome is presented as an educational framework, not a formal diagnosis. This course is not a replacement for mental health care, diagnosis, or treatment.

I am a Walking Logo

The Starts Within Organization

I Am a Walking Logo is a powerful and inspiring documentary produced by The Starts Within Organization that shines a light on the transformative work being conducted inside adult and juvenile correctional facilities. The film follows the organization's mission of helping incarcerated individuals recognize their potential, redefine their identity, and prepare for successful reintegration into society. The title is inspired by the organization's unique logo: a single individual represented by two contrasting realities. One side depicts a person who is incarcerated, while the other side portrays a person who is free, confident, and professionally dressed in a business suit. This symbol reflects the real-life journey of the organization's founder, Carlos M. Christian. While incarcerated, Mr. Christian made a life-changing decision to abandon the mindset and behaviors that led to his imprisonment and commit himself to personal growth, accountability, and success. Through discipline, education, and a renewed purpose, he transformed his life and became living proof that change is possible. Today, he refers to himself as a "Walking Logo"—a person who embodies the transformation represented in the organization's emblem. The documentary captures Mr. Christian's work inside correctional facilities, where he encourages incarcerated individuals to use their time productively and become Walking Logos themselves. Through The Starts Within Organization, he has built trusted relationships with leaders in government, correctional institutions, and community organizations, creating opportunities to deliver impactful programming directly to those who need it most. Featuring compelling interviews and firsthand accounts, I Am a Walking Logo highlights the stories of individuals whose lives have been changed through the organization's programs. The film also showcases the collaborative efforts of judges, correctional administrators, community partners, and other stakeholders who help make this work possible. Together, their voices reveal the importance of second chances, rehabilitation, and the power of personal transformation. More than a documentary, I Am a Walking Logo is a testament to resilience, redemption, and the belief that every person has the ability to rewrite their story and become a symbol of hope for others.

Podcast- Dying on the Inside: Women Lifers at Muncy Prison

The Logan Center

In State Correctional Institution Muncy in Pennsylvania, roughly 150 women lifers — many of them incarcerated during the height of mass incarceration in the 1980s and 1990s — are now aging behind bars. Nationally, the average age of incarcerated women has risen to 41 and visits to the infirmary have skyrocketed in the past five years, increasing 573%. Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, and degenerative back issues often begin as early as age 35. By their mid-50s, many incarcerated women are already facing conditions associated with advanced aging. Prisons like SCI Muncy do not have the capacity to handle the complex needs of seniors. Poor diet, lack of exercise and inadequate healthcare have led to a public health crisis that receives scant attention. Dying on the Inside: Women Lifers at Muncy Prison is a production of Create.

Love at the Center: Unitarian Universalist Theologies

Church of the Larger Fellowship

A book of essays on what it means that Unitarian Universalists have Love at the center of our faith. It is the 2026-27 Common Read for UU congregations, and is presented by the Church of the Larger Fellowship. About this book: “Given everything our world faces today, having faith in love is no small thing.” - Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt Unitarian Universalists as a progressive religious community hold a humbling expectation to periodically re-evaluate the freely chosen covenant that holds us together. This work gives life to the values we express. We do this work to live into the future. It is clear that the value most describe as central to their faith, to their living, and to the mission of their congregations is love itself. We are a people guided by, and centered in, our engagement with all that love requires. Our pressing task now is to ask ourselves and each other how this understanding calls us forward, individually and collectively. We may agree that love is central, but what does that mean to us and what does it require of us? It is in that spirit that we asked more than two dozen leaders in our movement the question of what it means to put love at the center of our faith. In these pages, you’ll find personal testimony to love’s power, reminders of the centrality of love throughout the long histories of Universalism and Unitarianism, and theologies of love drawn from many different expressions of Unitarian Universalism—from the natural world to the justice rally, to a loved one’s deathbed, to the quiet moment before a worship service begins. May Love at the Center serve as an invitation to deepen your own understanding and practices of love.

It begins with an excerpt from a brief interview with Gangaji, which introduces an intimate look at how self-hatred manifested for her as a young woman. Gangaji invites you to put yourself in her place and find the radiant secret, the sublime mystery to be discovered in the core of your own self-hatred, in whatever particular form that takes for you. Part II: Liberating Unworthiness In this section, Gangaji invites you to experience this seemingly essential worthlessness all the way. Without that, you cannot know the absolute truth of who you are. We take a closer look at the anatomy of unworthiness, or as Gangaji describes it, that dark, murky energy that we secretly believe to be ourselves. Answering a series of questions, Gangaji takes us under the lies we tell ourselves to survive, into the most raw and ugly part of ourselves. The trick is not to stop there, but to penetrate that with your full attention and discover the rich secrets in the core of unworthiness. Part III: Kissing the Toad In the final section, Gangaji compares the core of self-hatred, what we most fear to be who we really are, to a particularly large and ugly species of toad. Warty and poisonous, these toads can be as large as dinner plates. To discover the secret within, Gangaji invites us to kiss this metaphorical toad.
