Folsom Prison TCC program in jeopardy

Dear Chi-mates,

I need your supportive prayers for our program at Folsom prison. The effect of lock-downs, budget cuts and administrative scandals has suspended the T’ai Chi Chih program inside Folsom prison now for two months (February and March), and now I have received word that it will be suspended for another undefined period of time as the men must go back in their cells at 1:30 in the afternoon rather than 3:30, which prevents them from coming to class.

Please help me pray that the men continue their practice and discover truths of the chi on their own, and that the cultivation of the chi inside the institution will bear fruit in new ways without our class. Help me pray that if this is a door closing, that another fruitful door(s) will open. We give thanks for all that has opened for us these past five and one-half years.

Thank you for your support in this time of limbo and sorrow for me and the work at Folsom.
