Heart-to-Heart
Creating connections that heal.
Our Mission
Heart-to-Heart heals division by developing peace leaders in tension-filled contexts with urgent needs.
We form learning communities through which emerging leaders develop four skills essential for personal and societal healing: Mindfulness, Empathy, Decision making, and Conflict transformation (MEDC).
Our programs prepare and send leaders who cultivate a heart-to-heart way of life
Reentry
Accompanying incarcerated people and returning citizens in a journey of healing, thriving, and becoming the leaders they are called to be.
Earth Empathy
Supporting emerging leaders in the fight for a sustainable future.
Heart-to-Heart Families, Schools & Communities
Supporting parents, students, educators and faith leaders with skills essential for healing their communities.
What We Do
Heart-to-Heart empowers men and women to live free and fruitful lives in correctional facilities and in other community settings. Our work builds on Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication and other sources. Strongly influenced by Gandhi, Dr. Rosenberg’s approach offers a powerful framework for understanding ourselves, empathizing with other people, and communicating in a way that acknowledges and cares about everyone’s needs.
