The Kabbalah Centre: Correctional Outreach Initiative is a cutting edge personal development system based on the ancient wisdom of Kabbalah.
COI: Mission StatementSo what does this offer those who are currently in a correctional facility:
Knowledge - That the prison in which they is actually the same prison we all live in; the one inside ourselves.
Freedom - From the limited beliefs that have shaped their destiny thus far.
Control - Of their reactive feelings and behavior before resorting to violence and/or other irresponsible acts.
The Correctional Outreach Initiative is not a religious program. It doesn't preach in any way. The Correctional Outreach Initiative can improve the lives of all individuals, regardless of religion, race, class, age, or other differences... and regardless of what crimes have been committed in thought, word, or deed.
"Will I say I'll take the tools I learned from Kabbalah and hopefully use them for the rest of my life? Yes. I will definitely try. Which I think is one of the best things I could have learned. Better than any anger management classes I ever went to. Because now it’s making me actually look at what’s getting me mad and think about it."
- Mitch, former Rikers Island inmate
