“Where to begin? Back to the Roots, well…kind of helped me solidify my roots. Ms. Jackson helped me find a way to relax in an environment that is not easy to relax in. She brought the feeling of “home” to her class. With sound baths from singing bowls to planting flowers, fruits, vegetables and herbs. Back to the Roots was an amazing experience, and I have hopes that 1000’s of incarcerated individuals can experience the peace I felt while participating in this class!”
