I'm not allowed to talk to you anymore, since you didn't come to hear The Big Guy.
Okay, I'm just kidding. But, before I answer your question, I want to say that, as a student, I found the program very beneficial, and as a friend of Fleet's I was unbelievably proud to be associated with such a well-prepared talk and super workshop. Even though I had done Peacemaker training with Fleet and had read Kate's Path to Freedom book, I couldn't get over how well everything fit together.
Okay, as for Lionheart. We publish books for inmates and for at-risk youth and they're based in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. The books are excellent. Many prisoners or ex-prisoners say the books saved their lives or prevented them from becoming murderers, that kind of thing. The biggest contrast I'd make to the Prison Dharma Network and Path to Freedom programs is this: Fleet and Kate do lots of meditation and yoga, and all kinds of other programs on a regular basis in prisons and train people all over the country to do their own versions of that work. Lionheart does lots less training -- almost none in person now, and does not seek in the same way to remain in close relationship with practitioners. That's all I can think of at the moment. Happy to say more, though ...

Thanks for invite. I actually live in Needham, too. So, maybe we should try to get together sometime soon.
I work at the Lionheart Foundation in Needham, doing outreach work to prisons and programs for at-risk youth.
Also, Fleet may be interested in a place to stay, relatively close to Cambridge, when he's here Feb 8-10. Any ideas for friends who might like to host for a day or two? I just started checking .....
What do you do in Cambridge / Needham?
And thanks for invite and letting me know you're here.
peace,
kate
