The mission of Project Redemption is to renew faith in radical accountability and uncommon courage
At age 12, Ulysses “Butch” Slaughter listened as his mother was shot to death by his father. At age 45, Slaughter and his father were producing domestic violence workshops together.
At age 23, Malachi Armstrong accidentally drove into a mother of three and killed her in West Philadelphia. At age 33, Armstrong has a created a network of resources to support the family she left behind.
These deeply compelling and true stories are the foundation for Project Redemption.
Project Redemption is a radical reconciliation process that unites two strangers from opposite sides of a tragedy who want to transform their shared tragedy into shared triumph. Project Redemption is a living amends process that uses healing exercises and storytelling techniques to transform past pain into future power for people once harmed and separated by a shared tragedy. Through Project Redemption, strangers join in an effort to restore community fabric and community faith.
Project Redemption
Commanding uncommon courage
Reconciliation between our participants is a perpetual path that sets the stage for redemption. There is no predetermined “end goal” of the shared work for Project Redemption participants. These partners may create public presentations, write books, host podcasts or create new workshops based on their new creative bonds. This process is designed to promote sustainable relationships that change the “sad” narrative of the shared tragedy. Project Redemption, an initiative of the non-profit, Sowing Good Seeds, is seeking funds to support our community outreach workshops.
