Join us in our efforts to make a difference in the world. Whether you volunteer your time, donate funds, or spread awareness about our cause, every little bit helps. Together, we can create lasting change and improve the lives of those in need.
The Story of the Bridge Project is a journey that mirrors the artist’s healing path and the profound symbolism of bridges and suicide.
Inspired by the Chakaruna or 'Bridge Builder,' this project is a visionary quest to weave our stories into an energetic tapestry of connection, transformation, and hope. This is more than an art installation; it is a testament to the power of collective action, transforming tragedy into healing.
Coming to Charlotte Art League

The final phase of the Bridges Project is the weaving of a community Safety Net—a space dedicated to honoring the caretakers, supporters, and bridge builders who have supported us on our journey to wellness. Inspired by the Quechua word awaq, meaning "weaver," the Awaq H.A.N.D.S. (Healing Arts Network for Development and Support) is tasked with weaving this net, a powerful metaphor for resilience, healing, and community.
On the first Saturday of every month, MHR is partnering with Promise Resource Network and their Community Cafe to provide this innovative healing art technique to their Recovery Cafe at no cost. Thanks to grants/ volunteers and the generous donations that made this happen. We will learn the principles of Reiki Energy and how to apply them on our road to wellness. This is an empowering workshop designed to teach you the fundamentals of Reiki Energy, intentional breathing, and visualization.
In collaboration with PRN's May 2024 Courage is Contagious Campaign, we are thrilled to announce the creation of a Healing Arts Library to support mental health initiatives.
This library will feature self-published works by local writers and poets with lived experience, including inspirational journals, devotionals, and motivational books. These books will be shared with the Promise Resource Respite Houses and their Community Café to amplify stories of resilience and replace shame with courage.
We are looking for a community sponsor for this project. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to purchase these books from local artists to then donate. Your support will help us sport local writers and build a collection that inspires hope and healing.
