Bo & Sita Lozoff
Bo & Sita Lozoff have
been married since 1966 and founded our Prison-Ashram Project
in 1973. They created Human Kindness Foundation in 1987 to encompass the prison work and a
number of other projects.
Bo’s first book, We’re All Doing Time, now in its 17th printing, is available in several languages. It was hailed by the Village Voice as "one of the ten books everyone in the world should read," and has been lauded by prison staff and prisoners alike as one of the most helpful books ever written for true self-improvement and rehabilitation — which in Bo’s & Sita’s view revolve squarely around unselfishness and compassion. Bo's newest book is titled It's a Meaningful Life -- it Just Takes Practice. Click here for more info on this book.
The Lozoffs have been cited for numerous humanitarian awards, including the prestigious Temple Award for Creative Altruism from the Institute for Noetic Sciences. Their sincerity and commitment have earned the respect of hundreds of thousands of prisoners and others around the world who feel inspired to follow a similar path of living simply and joyfully caring about others. In 1999, Bo received an honorary doctorate degree -- a Doctor of Laws -- from one of the oldest and most respected divinity schools in the nation, the Chicago Theological Seminary.
Bo recently finished a two-year tour, speaking in prisons, public talks and singer/songwriter concerts across the US. Go here for more information.
