Woven: Workbooks for Incarcerated Women and Reentry Programs

Each Woven book invites women to rediscover the pieces of themselves they were never meant to lose.

Trauma informed workbooks designed for women behind bars

Woven in Light

Where her name is restored.

Light does not attack — it reveals.
Not harshly.
But honestly.

Here, a woman exhales.
She stops fighting herself.
She hears her name spoken without shame.

This is not about performance.
It is about clarity.

This is where patterns are seen.
Where old narratives loosen.
Where she begins to recognize the woman she has always been becoming.

Each thread offers a different way to remember who you are, believe you are held, speak your truth, and walk toward your future.

Woven in Courage.

Woven in Courage

Where she rises anyway.

Healing is not a moment.
It is a year of choosing — again and again.

Courage here is not loud.
It is steady.
It is the woman who stands when it would be easier to fold.

This is where she decides.
Where she speaks.
Where she rebuilds her life one deliberate step at a time.

Courage is not the absence of fear.
It is direction.

This is where fire becomes backbone.

The Woven Series — a sacred progression from sanctuary to vision.

Woven in Faith

A Heart-Healing Journal

Where she is never abandoned.

This is where the noise quiets.
Where wounds are held instead of hurried.
Where the presence of God is not explained — only felt.

Faith here is not doctrine.
It is nearness.

These pages become a sanctuary.
A place where shadows are named gently.
Where truth burns clean without burning her.

She does not have to become stronger here.
She only has to be held.

Woven was created specifically for women navigating incarceration, re-entry, trauma, and transition — without losing their dignity in the process.

Woven in Hope

A Poetic-Release Companion

Where tomorrow is still possible.

Hope does not shout.
It gathers fragments.

Here, poems become prayers.
Threads become stories.
Cracks become openings.

Hope is not naïve.
It is visionary.

This is where she creates:
• a future
• a new self-story
• beauty from what was broken

Hope is art.
Hope is breath.
Hope is the doorway forward.

From the smallest thread, whole lives can be rewoven.

How Correctional Facilities Use These Workbooks for Incarcerated Women

Chaplains, reentry coordinators, program directors, and volunteers use Woven as a flexible companion to existing classes or as a stand-alone program.

Each book can be used individually, as a complete bundle, or thoughtfully integrated into established curriculum and recovery programming.

Woven adapts to the space you’re working within:

  • Small groups led by staff or volunteers
  • One-on-one mentoring or spiritual direction
  • Self-paced journaling with optional check-ins
  • Pre-release or reentry readiness groups
  • Trauma recovery or identity rebuilding programs

Because every facility is different.
And every woman’s pace of healing is different too.

Don’t Take Our Word For It….

“I hope this finds you well.  The class was a huge success!  I have been spreading the word to other facilities.  I will be ordering more books as soon as the budget  money is released.”

Deputy Director

“I just wanted to give you an update on the class.  The ladies are doing really  well and love the class.  My assistant tells me that there is lot of support for each other, emotions and tears.  They will be starting chapter six next week. I will keep you  updated and would still love for you to come and tell the ladies your story.”
