Nina Gold joined the GRIP team in August 2021 and began her facilitator training at San Quentin soon afterwards. Being part of the GRIP circle has been one of the most meaningful experiences of her life. She finds a true sense of purpose in the courageous process of turning inward, speaking truth, belonging to each other  and transforming together. Nina is a graduate of  NYU, Tisch School of the Arts. Her professional path includes being a theater actress, a certified yoga teacher since 1998, a certified mindfulness teacher since 2019 and a facilitator of a Buddhist based racial justice program. All of these experiences inform her life and her work with GRIP.

She is a devoted mother and is committed to restorative justice and healing, both individually and collectively.
