PRISON OUTREACH
Sacred Community Project works to lower the barriers of access to spiritual teachings and practices for people who are incarcerated or otherwise marginalized by society. We are deeply committed to the wide accessibility of contemplative and devotional practices and offer affordable, donation-based offerings and prison outreach.
Prison Pen Pal Program
We offer spiritual support through our pen-pal letter writing program. If anyone incarcerated in the US prison system writes to us, a trained volunteer will write a letter as a “spiritual pen pal.” In these letters we will do our best to answer questions, but it is primarily about fostering a space for deep reflection and inquiry on the spiritual journey.

In-Person Events
Depending on the location, we provide in-person events such as meditation and yoga classes, kirtans, and interspiritual workshops.
Books, Malas and Spiritual Resources
We can also provide educational materials to incarcerated individuals who request them. Through multiple partnerships including the Love, Serve, Remember Foundation and Human Kindness Foundation, we can also offer books by Ram Dass in addition to our own SCP publications.

This is what SACRED COMMUNITY looks like:
When we realize we aren't separate and so resources flow freely to where they are most needed. Our satsang extends beyond our usual kirtan and retreat family. There are sincere seekers, just like you, who are behind bars this very moment, their heart burning with longing for the God within, who can't just go to a kirtan whenever they want, who don't have access to the same books or teachers, who can't just hop on the internet for words of wisdom, and who are asking for support.
Let's do our part to make SACRED COMMUNITY a reality.
