The Austin Shambhala Center has for several years provided meditation training, support, and Shambhala Buddhist instruction in two Texas prisons. This program is seeking additional volunteers to visit and provide support to meditators living in these prisons. This program is offered as part of the Austin Shambhala Center and as part of a larger Austin Buddhist network, Inside Meditation.

If you are interested in volunteering or in learning more about what it means to be a “prison volunteer”, please contact Jake Lorfing (goslow@sbcglobal.net), Brennan McDonald (only1brennan@yahoo.com), or Nell Clowder (Clowder@mail.utexas.edu) for information on upcoming information and training sessions.
