Jeremy Irons works with Sister Elaine and Freeing the Human Spirit


 

Jeremy Irons working with Sister Elaine MacInnes for Freeing the Human Spirit


In the early 1990s, Jeremy Irons met the most wonderful and amazing woman, Sister Elaine MacInnes, a Catholic nun and Zen master whose mission was to bring healing and rehabilitation to inmates in correctional facilities through meditation and yoga.  Jeremy became a patron of her charity, The Prison Phoenix Trust in England, and later became a patron of another charity of Sister Elaine's, Freeing the Human Spirit in Canada.  Jeremy has been involved in many events for these two charities over the years and this web page is dedicated to the work Jeremy and Sister Elaine have accomplished.  Please take some time to read more about Freeing the Human Spirit on this page and visit the Official Freeing the Human Spirit website to learn how you can get involved in helping prisoners find their way back.
