And how are these events having so much impact in-prison\, with volunteers\, and in the community at large? \nCome and experience this introductory Freedom to Choose event to find out! \nThis evening is open to all and will offer a firsthand experience of the work that we offer in prison and the community. We’ll be working with selected tools and doing an exercise in groups of three called “trios.” \nYou’ll have the opportunity to reflect and gain insight into what’s present in your life\, and create space for others as they explore and share what’s surfacing for them. “Trio work” is very powerful and the primary format of our in-prison programs. \nWe encourage our seasoned volunteers to attend this evening. We are so grateful for their support\, wisdom\, and service as an anchor for these trios. This evening is a great opportunity to share FTC and the trio experience with your friends and families. \nWe look forward to coming together virtually as a community to continue our commitment to healing and growing both as individuals and collectively. \nWe’ll see you there! \nDate: Thursday\, July 17\, 2025\nTime: 6:30pm – 8:30pm PT\nTuition: None. Free!\nPrerequisites: None. This event is open to all.\nRegistration: Required. Viewing Instructions will be sent upon registration. \n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”66″ bottom_padding=”66″ text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”register”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”small_depth” column_border_radius=”20px” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”1px” column_border_color=”#6a3179″ column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” text_color=”#6a3179″ style=”full_text” highlight_expansion=”default” text_direction=”default”]\nREGISTRATION\n[/nectar_highlighted_text][divider line_type=”Small Line” line_alignment=”center” line_thickness=”2″ divider_color=”extra-color-1″ custom_height=”20″ custom_line_width=”50″]This event has passed and registration has ended.

These are the same tools we bring into prisons\, but they’re just as valuable for anyone navigating relationships\, communication\, or personal challenges. \nFTC offers programs inside prisons that transform communities from the inside out. By connecting with each person’s innate capacity for compassion—regardless of where they are in life—our programs foster healing and personal growth both behind prison walls and in the communities our program participants and volunteers return to. \nWorking in small groups of three (“trios”)– the heart of our practice – we’ll have the opportunity to listen deeply\, share authentically\, and support one another. \nWe look forward to coming together with you all to continue our commitment to healing and growing as individuals and collectively. \n  \nDate: Sunday\, July 27\, 2025\nTime: 1:30pm – 3:30pm PT\nLocation: Tarzana Community Center\nRegistration: Private Community Event (Limited Seating RSVP to Reserve Your Seat) \n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”66″ bottom_padding=”66″ text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”register”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” highlight_color=”#6a3179″ style=”full_text” highlight_expansion=”default” text_direction=”default”]\nRSVP HERE\n[/nectar_highlighted_text][divider line_type=”Small Line” line_alignment=”center” line_thickness=”2″ divider_color=”extra-color-1″ custom_height=”20″ custom_line_width=”50″]Sorry.
