- I am a volunteer chaplain in the Seattle King County Juvenile Detention Center. I am a Unitarian Universalist and a graduate student at Seattle University's School of Theology and Ministry, which is how I became involved in volunteering with youth in jail.I serve with the Catholics in this prison ministry. I have begun to explore mediation to help myself handle the painful stories I witness and I believe it can help youth. I hope to develop a program to do in the Juvenile Detention Center. They have one program, Yoga Behind Bars, and one other meditation group coming in twice a month.I am interested in bridging between Christianity and meditation practice and am doing research on this subject when I have time.I am also a chaplain (now long distance) to a young man I met two years ago who has been sent to Walla Walla State Penitentiary in eastern Washington to serve a 35-year sentence. I want to help him live the best possible life he can live until he is released. I believe meditation can help him.
