June’s Story: Teaching Mindfulness Meditation to Women in Jail

June Tanoue, co-founder of the Zen Life and Meditation Center of Chicago, volunteered to teach mindfulness meditation to women at the Cook County Department of Corrections (CCDOC) in Chicago.

While it took her some time to breakthrough with these women, her work has helped the women in CCDOC see their value and purpose, to recognize that they are not the sum of their mistakes, and has helped them realize they are good, beautiful, and powerful beings – that they have the power to make a positive change in their lives and in the world.

June truly is a 1 Girl Revolution and she continues to transform women’s hearts and minds through the power of meditation.
