Story of the Circle

      The Circle of VisionKeepers Programs and clothing shop was started four years ago by followers who were mentored by the late Robin“Doc” Herman, after he died unexpectedly from cancer in September of 2009. Doc Herman was the Executive Director of Hanbleycea House, Inc., along with Anthony Villa Sr. and Khalil Osiris. CVK Program Director, Khadijah Ali, has been a consultant with Hanbleycea House since 2005. She incorporates the principals of using the tools of building personal Integrity, when making choices and decisions (positive self-talk) which is enhanced by her own spiritual journey.         ​

     The Circle of VisionKeepers utilizes the Cognative Behavioral approach by using the Hanblecyea (Book of Parables) Psychology of Incarceration Reentry Model,  based upon the curriculum written by the late Wright State University professor, Dr. Robin "Doc" Herman, which was co-authored by Anthony "Tony" Villa, Sr. and Khali Osiris.​

     The program focuses on challenging the ex-offender to take a serious look at past behaviors, and encourages them to use the tools that support a healthy lifestyle, for themselves, their family and their community. Ms. Ali, Program Director was mentored by the program authors for over 10 years and is Lead Facilitator of the "Hanbleycea and the Psychology of Incarceration" in Ohio.​

She worked with individuals on Intensive probations for over a year with success. She contracted with Ann Bass Academy as a Workshop Facilitator: “Women’s Issues in Recovery and Re-entry” Co-Facilitated with Ed Lampton and Assoc. M.A.
