Project Description

With support from CAC, IGP will launch Harvesting Insights Arts in Reentry Initiative (HIARI), with five teaching artists–three of whom were formerly incarcerated–engaging IGP Reentry participants in a one-year arts-based curriculum, culminating in the production, exhibition, and dissemination of artwork integrating creative writing, photography, spoken word, visual art, and filmmaking.

Organization Summary

Land Together’s staff and volunteers facilitate a yearlong therapeutic, arts and nature-based curriculum rooted in a holistic approach that integrates the arts and environmental sciences, and tends to both the “inner” and “outer” artist/gardener.

Our “inner gardener” classes integrate transformational tools such as meditation, emotional process work and ecotherapy. In flower and vegetable gardens, people practice “outer gardening,” where our diverse class participants also learn the basics of organic gardening, human/ecological systems and useful work and life skills.
