Peter and I chose to situate the Sunny Healing Center here in this beautiful location in the west of Ireland. A newcomer may at first see only a barren, rocky, windswept landscape. But, put your hand on the earth here, and you can feel the life pulsing through it.
For the Exonerees that we work with, life can seem barren to them when they come to us. They’ve experienced the #trauma of being wrongfully convicted and incarcerated. When they’re finally released, after the period of euphoria that comes with new freedom, they can find themselves in a world where things are very different. Often they have no idea how to navigate in the world anymore.
The Healing Center is a place where Exonerees can center themselves and learn to look for those green shoots, the telltale signs that they will be able to move forward toward a healthy, whole life. It’s where their journey with The Sunny Center begins. We are that bridge to healing that Exonerees need so badly. And with your support, that can continue.
