Creating Safe Spaces for Collective Healing
Interested in Board Leadership?
Mental Health Reimagined is expanding its circle of leadership. If you’re curious about helping guide a growing healing-arts organization, we invite you to start the conversation here.
Every Thread Is a Story. Every Story Is a Lifeline.
Connecting you to the power of storytelling and the healing arts.
Inspired by HopeWay's Looms, the Threads to Hope looms are handcrafted by Shane Baskin Hitlon and specifically made to travel throughout the community, collecting stories of hope, courage, and support, inside cute little 'Hope Suitcases'.
Our team would love to provide a Threads to Hope Loom with everything you need
to weave your own healing stories into our interactive exhibit.
Learn how to bring a Threads to Hope Loom to your next gathering or tabling event.
Help us build a bridge to wellness, one string at a time.
Be a Part of the Bridge to Wellness
We need communities to host, participate in, and help us complete these looms—
Our goal is to collect 40 completed looms—each filled with hundreds of threads contributed by the collective community. We can't build this alone.
Threads to Hope looms provides a safe, kinetic away to connect to our own stories. Wether you are weaving in silent prayer, writing an encouraging word, or holding space for others to weave, these looms are essential to the structure of our Bridge. They become the Hope Spans of our final bridge instillation an act as the guard rails to keep us safely on bridge through the human condition.
The Power of Community
Why Weaving?
For thousands of years, weaving has been a sacred practice in cultures around the world—from the highlands of Peru to Indigenous communities across the globe.
In Andean traditions, weaving is not just a craft but a form of community, of storytelling, prayer, and ancestral memory—each thread carrying meaning, history, and connection to the land.
By honoring these traditions, we remember that we are all part of something larger— we are all connected.
To everyone who’s bravely woven a thread or shared a story—you are the way across. You have changed the landscape of the human condition, and created a bridge from illness to wellness.
