"In my participation with the INSIGHT group facilitated by Kindful Restoration, I found immense value and personal growth. One aspect that deeply resonated with me was the group's ability to draw connections from childhood experiences to adulthood, digging into root causes and providing insights that have profoundly impacted my understanding and journey

The Mindful Kindness Program has helped me be a better person towards those around me and myself, by practicing kindness in my daily actions I feel more positive inwardly and outwardly. The three-breath method for me has helped me in every demanding situation I might find myself in, by helping me refocus on what is positive in my life.

I have already been working on my rehabilitation but there was something missing. I was always falling into my old of negative thinking and being unkind. MKP has helped me manage those negative thoughts and turn them into positive by just acting kind with people and family.

This program that Kathleen had put together called INSIGHT...it gives you a chance to dig deeper into yourself...It challenged me. I had learned a few things about myself, about having deeper insight into how and why I did the things that I did. Now, through all that I've learned from taking courses such as Kathleen's, I've become the man that I am today. thank you Kat.

My involvement with Kindful Restoration began in 2022 when the entire world was held captive by Covid-19. I was languishing in my cell wondering how I could fill the void in my heart and make use of the abundance of idle time. I was made aware of Kindful Restoration through a fellow incarcerated person who had been participating in a correspondence course through the organization.

“I have been fortunate enough to participate in multiple self-help courses offered by Kindful Restoration and I learned something positive in each one to better myself. However, the course that has made the most impact on my life has to be The Mindful Kindness program. In the past I was always living in a negative state of mind. As a result, this often manifested into unkind behaviors that created victims and trauma.

“I have been incarcerated for 18 years, for about the last decade I have been working on bettering myself and changing my negative mindset. The Mindful Kindness Program and the Intimate Partner Violence Prevention course has helped me to better understand not only myself but how all these negative experiences in our lives shape our ways of thinking.

My name is Raymond Scott and I have been incarcerated since I was eighteen (30yrs) serving a LWOP sentence. I am truly thankful for the Mindful Kindness program which has enhanced my personal development leading me down the path of self acceptance and self forgiveness.
