A Day To Reflect On Freedom

On March 31 at 5pm EST our T’ai Chi Chih class dedicated our practice to the freedom of a man we had never known. We were told that Franky Carrillo had been incarcerated unjustly for twenty years. Our practice symbolized the hope and support that TCC provided while he was in Folsom State Prison.

Now that Franky has been released his practice continues to inspire him and other inmates still incarcerated. It was a privilege to participate in the community-wide support of Franky and the other Folsom inmates.

The energy created in our TCC circle felt powerful and purposeful. Our teacher Sheryl Adair explained that Franky’s personal journey brought him to a place of forgiveness. His strength of character serves as an inspiration for all of us seeking to know the meaning of freedom.
