One of my last "real" jobs was working as a judicial assistant for a county judge. This strange turn on my career path had me acting as a liaison between the judge and her probationers, and for a short time I was drawn into the criminal justice system. Little did I know that this job detour offered an amazing opportunity to see the pure grace and humanity in each person.
One beacon of light in Oregon's criminal justice system is Living Yoga -- an amazing non-profit outreach program that aims to use yoga as a tool for personal change within prisons and drug rehabilitation facilities. I can't think of a better mechanism for finding personal forgiveness, growth, and compassion then yoga. Since 1998 Living Yoga has been teaching this form of meditation as a tool for rehabilitating the mind and spirit of people who are often forgotten.
Following a yoga path can only lead to a place of compassion and self-acceptance. I am deeply touched by the generosity of Living Yoga's mission.
For the months of November and December, to honor our season of giving, Hint Jewelry Design will donate 10% of all profits to Living Yoga.
Namaste!
