People Protecting People

---

Imagine police and civilians meditating together. Even better…imagine their children meditating together.

People Protecting People is a program that supports a shift from “it’s all about me” to "I'm doing my part." It evinces cooperation over competition. 

There is so much broken in the world today. It's important we remain aware so we can take action when the opportunity arises. 

Because of the dangerous level of unrest and mistrust growing between police and civilians (demonstrated by the riots in Charlotte, NC in 2016 and the worldwide response of Black Lives Matter after the death of George Floyd in 2020), Energy Equinox created People Protecting People. The title alone intentionally strips away gender, race, age, occupation, wealth, privilege, and power. It brings us back to a human level where everyone is equal.

The program is a three-phase effort intended to bring police officers, civilians, and their children together to heal through meditation.

• Phase I encourages officers to meditate alongside mainstream civilians as an effort to earn participation, trust and endorsement from both sides.
• Phase II encourages officers to meditate alongside adults from marginalized communities as an effort to develop trust and common bonds among divided cultures.
• Phase III encourages children from Phase II demographics to meditate together as an effort to create positive bonding experiences before opposition becomes ingrained.

By the end of all three phases, People Protecting People will have positively impacted adults and children of the general public, historically underrepresented and marginalized communities, and protective services.

The program empowers all citizens - including you - to do their part in helping themselves and others heal together. Our business model is:

• In Phase I, every civilian enrollment will sponsor a police officer to attend.
• In Phase II, every officer enrollment will sponsor a low-income civilian to attend.
• In Phase III, every child from parents who have completed Phase I or Phase II will receive 50% off enrollment.

Together, we can begin to lead by example and do our part to help our world heal.

Energy Equinox is asking for your help, please. We are looking for police departments and civilian communities who would like to participate in the program as well as corporations who would like to sponsor our efforts. We will teach in any city that is ready to try this program.
