Prison Smart - Kenya

Prison Smart en la cárcel de Kamiti, Kenya

En marzo de 2010 llevamos a cabo el primer curso SMART para cárceles en Kamiti, la cárcel de máxima seguridad en Kenia. Más 100 internos se beneficiaron con el curso SMART para cárceles.

En esta prisión hay una población de reclusos de 3000 individuos, la cárcel más grande de Kenia. Las condiciones allí dentro son las peores. Se decía que si uno es sentenciado a Kamiti, o bien se muere dentro o si uno tiene la suerte de sobrevivir, entonces estará loco para cuando le toque salir.

"Pensábamos que ustedes señoras venían aquí para divertirse y mofarse de nosotros. Pero después de experimentar la respiración y los ejercicios, nos sentimos libres y verdaderamente transformados." – un participante al curso.

Los participantes abrieron sus corazones. Se sintieron libres y tranquilos. Los participantes compartieron que antes de asistir al taller ellos nunca habían reflexionado sobre la unicidad, el perdón, una visión de ellos mismos y de la sociedad.

“I had decided to go back to my anti-depressants before this (The Art of Living) course, but now I don’t need them. I will practice these techniques every single day for the rest of my life. I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

“I’ve been suffering from a loss of concentration, weak memory and extreme anger. Now I feel as if something heavy has been lifted from my back.”

“I found that this training of breathing is so useful and its benefit shows when I do it. I feel that my heart is stronger and younger. When I can’t sleep I just do the breathing and I feel energy in all parts of my body.”

“I feel peace with myself and have less stress. I think if I continue with the practice, this feeling of peace will continue to grow.”

"Before this experience, I was sad, depressed and starting to lose hope because of the situation here in Iraq. Now, after only four days, I feel confident in myself – happier, have hopes and dreams again and I feel that life is so beautiful. I have started to love everyone and physically I have much more energy and am able to do more things. I want to thank you very much for helping all of us feel better.”
