Boundless Freedom Project

WHAT WE BELIEVE

People affected by incarceration are underserved and they equally benefit from the practices and tools that have changed our lives and the lives of so many practitioners. Every person, even those who are locked in cages, are a part of the broader human sangha. We aim to reconnect these people with community and to remind the outside world that we are all tied to one another.

WHAT WE DO

We continue to expand and develop our offerings of Buddhist services and mindfulness programs both for our sanghas inside prison and in support of returning citizens. We share meditation, mindfulness and movement practices, encourage healing and creativity, co-create safe and inclusive communities (sanghas), advocate for decarceration, and support artists, Buddhists, change agents, dharma practitioners, meditators, teachers, and movement facilitators interested in working in the prison system!

OUR MISSION

Lighting a path to freedom by sharing mindfulness, ethics & compassion practices with people impacted by incarceration.

OUR VISION

May we live in a just and equitable world where all beings are free.

OUR ORGANIZATION

Boundless Freedom Project is a 501C3 nonprofit working with people who are impacted by incarceration. We serve more than 500 incarcerated people in 15 prisons across the state of California by offering Buddhist teachings, meditative movement, ethics, and mindfulness.

In response to the pandemic, we’ve extended our reach with our thriving online sangha and our new correspondence course. Here are some of the ways we serve:

• Donating supplies like books, Buddhas, cushions, yoga mats, and bells to inside sanghas
• Providing mentorship and community to previously incarcerated folks
• Offering emergency financial assistance to returning citizens
• Distributing our distance learning materials throughout the prison system
• Advocating for justice reform and an end to mass incarceration
• Creating economic opportunities for people exiting prison
