Inspiring healing and growth through education
Heart-to-Heart
Creating connections that heal.
Our Programs
Heart-to-Heart seeks to empower incarcerated people, those at risk of incarceration or who were incarcerated, families, communities, and others seeking freedom from destructive habits and patterns, both inside and outside of correctional facilities. Our programs serve individuals in Boston, Southern New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.
Correctional Facilities
Professional facilitators with extensive training in Nonviolent Communication, and meditation teach Heart-to-Heart classes in a number of locations.
Families
Heart-to-Heart helps parents, caregivers and educators who are called to be a healing presence in their families and communities raise thriving children.
Schools & Communities
Heart-to-Heart operates in Southern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, offering a variety of workshops, classes, and retreats.
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.
