In 2002, Insight Garden Program (IGP) launched our first program at San Quentin State Prison where we transformed a bleak corner of a prison yard into a living classroom and healing space. As our garden grew, so did our sense of community, dignity, and belonging.

This year’s 20th anniversary marks a critical time for all of us to reflect on all that we’ve accomplished and ignite our shared vision with you as we move forward together.

Together, we are deepening our connection to ourselves, our community, and the natural world. Together, we are cultivating ecosystems of care.

What has emerged in the last 20 years is that this critical work is just the beginning. Will you commit to joining us in igniting our vision to deepen our work at this pivotal time?

We need your support now more than ever to help us achieve the following:

We are a small organization with a mighty impact that fosters transformation and leadership in those most impacted by incarceration. We can’t do this important work without you.

Instead of contributing to global consumerism this holiday season, purchase something from our auction, handmade by talented artists incarcerated in prisons across California and support Insight Garden Program's important work.

By donating or bidding on our silent auction, you are deepening your partnership in a shared vision of cultivating ecosystems of care for all.
