The “Shift Doctors” (Tracy Latz, M.D. & Marion Ross, Ph.D.) are returning to L. A. County Jail on February 28, 2011!! They intend to “do the time” with the women of the Women-In-Transition-Support (WITS) program who have expressed a desire to Shift Their Lives as they prepare for release at the end of their period of incarceration. The following is what the Shift Doctors reported from their last class taught at the jail in 2010:
“We taught our one-day (8 hour) Shift your Life® seminar to the Women of WITS (WOW) program at the L.A. County Jail in Los Angeles, California. WOW really does say it all!! What a profound shiftng experience for everyone involved! After experiencing our True Essence meditation (during which each person meets their True Essence, who they truly are, and reclaims gifts and abilities they may have long forgotten), one person in the back of the room yelled out: “How dare you!!” as she raised her arm out and pointed her finger at me with a smiling, tear-stained face and shook her head back and forth. She later read a poem she wrote during one of the breaks about the experience. Essentially, she explained that she had convinced herself that no one cared about her and that she had learned to not care about herself. “How dare you make me cry and make me smile and make me admit that you do care about me and make me start to care about myself!”
It was so powerful to see the women in the room transform over the course of 8 hours- to realize and know that they are lovable, to be given tools and techniques to release guilt and shame, to find a place within of peace and inner strength. I think we were as powerfully touched at times as they were with their shifts in perception and sense of self-worth and ability to feel worthy of being loved. Many of the women in the room were also mothers who were dealing with guilt over leaving behind their children while serving their time in the L.A. County Jail. These women already had requested to be involved in the Women in Transition Support program sponsored by the n-ACTION Family Network which is spear-headed by Kay Coulson. The program was approved to be brought into the L.A. County Jail by Sheriff Bacca in Los Angeles. This worthy program assists with giving as much support as possible to the women by arranging lectures and seminars in the jail system to boost self-esteem, give tips on job-hunting and transitioning as smoothly as possible back into society, as well as emotional support.
Shift Doctors Tracy Latz and Marion Ross were united with the WITS program through attorney Thomas Mesereau (Michael Jackson’s trial attorney) who felt that the Shift Your Life® teachings of Dr.’s Ross and Latz were a perfect match for the needs of the women incarcerated within the L.A. County Jail system.
The comments of some of the women inmates who participated in the 8 hour seminar were as follows:

Love all the opinions expressed here! How is everyone after the class? 🙂
Everyone did very well! We go back to teach again in the L.A. County Jail next weekend… so all were happy with the on-going response 🙂
Thank you for sharing this experience! Thank you for the “space” you are providing for people to shift and see their worthiness! I am convinced that once we “know” and experience our worth, life shifts……..forever! Thanks again!
Awesome! I am so glad the results of the first seminar were so successful. It is so great that you are going back to see the great changes these spirits must be making in their lives as they practice the tools and work through the keys.
Perhaps you can come back with some tips or suggestions or just words of inspiration from some of the successess who have managed to keep working through the keys through a situation that can be so much more stressful and distracting than situations many of us are in but who still have difficulty at times maintaing our dharmas throughout our “ordinary” day to day journies.
Love and Light
