Moments of Insight

An interactive newsletter distributed in Oregon’s prisons

Moments of Insight was launched in the spring of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Groups like ours serve as a lifeline for people who are struggling with all sorts of emotional and physical challenges, or simply feeling adrift, alone and caught up in regurgitating thought that won't quit. When the doors closed for in-person programming, we knew we had to find a way to continue supporting the adults and youth we work with in prison. The idea of an interactive newsletter bubbled up and we immediately sought out permission from the prisons where we work to make this happen. All the facilities gave us a thumbs up and Moments of Insight was born.

Moments of Insight features stories, poems and artwork from folks in prison, and aspects of our educational model. We’ve continued to grow this program and offer newsletters year round. You can download past issues below and enjoy these inspiring newsletters!
