About Boundless Freedom Project

Boundless Freedom Project is a nonprofit organization committed to bringing healing-centered reentry, mindfulness, and compassionate community-building to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. Rooted in transformative justice and Buddhist principles, our work includes in-prison programming, post-release support, and capacity-building for systems impacted communities.

We currently operate programs within facilities such as San Quentin Rehabilitation Center and Rikers Island, and we partner with institutions across the U.S. to expand access to mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and reentry navigation.
