What if you could transform your darkest moments into a powerful journey of self-discovery and service? Join us on the Mindfully Integrative Show as we welcome Dr. Fleet Mall, the remarkable founder of the Heart Mind Institute and an award-winning author. From growing up in a Roman Catholic family to becoming a spiritual seeker, Dr. Mall's path took an unexpected turn during the counterculture of the 1960s, leading him into drug smuggling and a subsequent 14-year federal prison sentence. Listen as he candidly shares his tumultuous experiences and how he navigated the prison system, earning good time and pursuing higher education at Naropa University, shaping his holistic approach to integrative health and mindfulness.

Dr. Mall's life post-incarceration is nothing short of inspirational. He reflects on the profound personal changes sparked by his time in prison, driven by extensive training in Buddhism, clinical practice, and spiritual teachings. His dedication to personal transformation and service, helping fellow inmates through education and support, underscores the power of resilience and self-reformation. Despite facing overwhelming loss, including the deaths of key spiritual figures and loved ones, Dr. Mall demonstrates the transformative power of mindfulness and contemplative traditions in finding inner strength and joy amidst suffering.

Through ongoing efforts with the Heart Mind Institute, Dr. Mall continues to champion mindfulness and compassion, particularly within correctional facilities. From training correctional officers in mindfulness-based wellness to addressing the cycle of re-traumatization, his work aims to foster a more compassionate environment for both staff and inmates. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that not only highlights Dr. Mall's remarkable journey but also explores how mindfulness and self-awareness can lead to profound personal and societal transformation.
