Heal for Real: Communities Seeking Ease, Justice & Connection

How can mindful wellness practices like meditation inspire a more just and connected community? Join us at the Concord Free Public Library to screen The Dhamma Brothers, a documentary film about the profound impact of a meditation retreat held in a maximum security prison in Alabama (co-created by the late filmmaker, Jenny Phillips of Concord). We'll then learn about experiences guiding meditation for the incarcerated in our local community with Sam Williams, Executive Director of Concord Prison Outreach, in conversation with radio host, Harry Harding, of Leaderfull Life Works. In light of the recent news that the Concord Prison will close this summer, this program invites us to consider essential aspects of humanity, justice, interconnection and ease.
