We had the pleasure of partnering with the team from Les Monarcas De Barro to hold a visual arts pottery workshop at our Glenmore residence, encouraging participants to create their own personal concept of “home”.

On a rainy Thursday afternoon, Providence House transformed the community room at our Women’s Justice Program into an oasis of positive energy. A circle formed with comfortable seating options and yoga mats curved around the space. Calming music and sounds complemented the aroma of lavender and citrus essential oils, creating an atmosphere of pure tranquility. Over the course of an hour and half, 14 women came together to engage in a guided meditation focused on self-love.

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Providence House!

Providence House is a proud member of the Close Rikers Campaign, which seeks to bring an end to the notorious NYC jail. On January 26th, we stood with over 100 activists and advocates to raise awareness about this important work.

When photographers Sara Bennet and Anna Grevenitis approached Providence House with the idea to provide free workshops to our residents, we jumped at the opportunity. Photography is a powerful medium for artistic expression that allows people to better understanding the world around them, while providing a way to show others the world they see.
