Testimonials
"I have been so moved by Jane's ability to share her story, and journey of healing and transformation. She has the rare capacity to integrate and articulate such a deeply harmful experience into words. So much so that I asked Jane to speak at restorative justice trainings in California and India in which she brought many participants to tears, and to a deeper understanding of how to facilitate restorative justice processes of sexual harm. Jane also came to visit the men we work with in prison who have committed serious offenses, and her sharing her experience as a survivor of rape had a profound impact on the group and their capacity for accountability and a deepening of their own healing.
