As some of you may know, Amma said that she would like IAM to be

taught in U.S. prisons. Circle of Love Inside letter writers write

to several men incarcerated at Ryan Correctional Facility, a medium

security prison in Detroit. They have had another meditation group

originally started by another spiritual group. They have maintained

this group over the years without anyone from outside coming in to

lead it. One of the inmates sho is a Sunni Moslem has led it. Now

the prison has decided that the group cannot continue unless it has

an outside sponsor and someone from that outside group will come in

to lead the meditation. The men who had been participating in the

meditation group are not happy to have lost their opportunity to

gather for this spiritual practice. The man who has been leading it

says he'll work with anyone so that the meditation group can

continue.

 

Just before this development, I had written to one of the guys to

ask if he could help us get IAM training into Ryan. When the inmate

led group was stopped, he let me know that the folks who had

benefited from the meditation group were eager to find a way to

continue it and would be interested in IAM.

 

Steve Schmidt has sent an email message about this to a man and

woman in Detroit who teach IAM. So far only the woman has replied

and she feels that a man should do the teaching at Ryan.

 

I'm wondering if there is anyone on this list who lives in the

Detroit area, who has benefited from the practice of IAM personally

and who would be wsilling to go into Ryan to teach it, to assist in

teaching it, or to follow up regularly with the group there.

 

Sometimes we talk only to the same group of people and miss someone

who would love a chance to do something like this and who is well

qualified. That's why I'm putting out the request on this forum.

Also I don't think the teacher needs to be a man. Missing the

opportunity to respond to this invitation because of gender seems

very sad to me.

 

If you are interested in this and not yet approved to teach IAM,

Amma needs to approve you before you can do it. Possibly, that can

be expedited. The process of getting approved to visit the prison

will then take additional time.

 

Please respond either here or to circle.of.love.inside

 

Jai Ma!
