A crucial aspect of Rastafari is which involves spiritual discussions and sharing knowledge
Working
in prison chaplaincy is a unique and deeply challenging role that blends
spiritual guidance, emotional resilience, and human connection in an intense
and often unpredictable environment
Chaplains come into the prison not just as religious
leaders, but as beacons of hope. You’re often the only person who sees the
inmates purely as people, not as their crimes, not as their rap sheets, but as
human souls.
You’re there to offer:
Spiritual
counseling
Religious
services
Grief
support (which is very real—loss is a constant inside)
A
safe space for reasoning, reflection, and growth
Rooted in Livity, this living archive offers guidance, upliftment, and access to real-world resources grounded in Rastafari overstanding.

Learn moreAt SOTRO, we understand that true guidance begins with conversation — or as we say in the livity, reasoning. Our virtual consultations offer a sacred space for open dialogue, spiritual clarity, and practical support. Whether you're navigating religious accommodations, seeking cultural education, or building bridges between Rastafari faith and institutional systems, we bring the reasoning to you — wherever you are. From one-on-one sessions to group discussions, each consultation is rooted in overstanding, respect, and a commitment to truth.
We don’t just offer appointments — we offer alignment. Through Rastafari Reasoning, you’ll connect with lived wisdom, spiritual insight, and practical tools to support your goals — whether legal, educational, or deeply personal. All sessions are delivered virtually for your convenience, but the impact is real and rooted. Let us walk with you, uplift your vision, and help carry the fire wherever it needs to go.
