Realizing Sunny and Peter’s Dream

Just a few weeks ago, we gathered in Manhattan to say goodbye to our dear Sunny.

STOLEN LIVES- documentary about the Sunny Center Foundation and our work

We are so excited to announce the upcoming documentary release about the incredible work of our dear friends, Sunny and Peter! A decade in the making, the documentary STOLEN LIVES produced by @bangbangteo will finally be screened— an inspiring and powerful tribute to...

With deep sadness…

By now, many of you have heard the news about Sunny. For those who have not, it is with great sorrow that I report that Sunny has passed. Sunny and her caretaker, Kevin, passed away after a fire at the Sunny Healing Center in rural County Galway. We don’t have many...

Remembering Peter

My dear Peter is gone.
We sang him home on the last day of the year, gathered around his bedside as we had done for so many days before.

Love Is Always the Answer

The wonderful documentary "Stolen Lives" about our dear friends, Sunny and Peter, and their important work with wrongfully convicted and exonerated people has added another screening. In addition to the Sept. 6 screening at Stetson University in Florida, "Stolen...

Even in summer, the work doesn’t stop

We’re in midsummer now, with its long days that stretch until 11 in the evening here in Ireland. It’s a busy time for everyone and everything.

The power of art to heal and renew

Did you know that Peter was a woodworker and an artist? He created so many things. But more importantly, he taught those skills to other Exonerees when they visited the Center.

Looking for green shoots

A message from Sunny about Peter

The time has come to say farewell to our dear Peter, who is in the process of transitioning from this body and this plane.
