For the 5th consecutive year, Governor Bill Richardson has declared September 21
"HOPE-HOWSE Day in New Mexico", honoring the work all of our volunteers do in this State.


It's a spiritual action...

A matter of being. It's being aware every time you point the finger at someone else that three are coming back at you. Those are the ones you need to focus on. Always asking, "what's my piece in this?" It takes discipline and work on a daily basis to do this. It is not easy but it is simple.



HOPE-HOWSE International, Inc. is not only a philosophy but is a 501(c)3 organization as well. It exists to foster human dignity, peace and respect in the world thru the integration of honesty, faith and action. Since 1991 it has been a grass roots effort of love and commitment to the value of all human dignity.



HOPE-HOWSE... a spiritual action is a non-denominational approach to living a spiritual life. It does not take the place of any religion or other path. It actually can be applied to all and enhance the "how to" of elevating one's spirit level. Whether your path is that of Buddha, Jewish, Jesus, Muslim, Native, Hindu, Tao, Sufi, BDSM, Kama Sutra, Tantric, 12 Steps, nature...,



HOPE-HOWSE teaches a way of being, on a daily basis. The principles of honesty, faith, love, discipline, respect encompassed by HOPE-HOWSE...a spiritual action can be found in virtually every path. It's just that the different paths express "it" differently. It's about knowing oneself and being oneself. History shows us that we often get the messages and the messengers confused.

"HOPE-HOWSE In Action", a documentary done by award winning filmmaker Malcolm Brenner, follows HOPE-HOWSE founder Jane Davis into prison as she leads a small group of Bernalillo County Jail inmates through self-exploration, vulnerability and writing exercises. Some admit re-enacting their own childhood brutalization on relatives; others confess they feel more at home in prison than on the outside. As Davis coaxes, nudges and humors the inmates into trusting each other, they reveal their deepest hopes and fears. While not condoning their crimes, Davis conveys her profound respect for the spark of humanity in each of them.

"When i speak in the prisons i focus on helping them find and accept the light within. When i speak out here, i help people find and accept the dark within. Knowing and accepting both is what spiritual peace is about."
