*Due to the nature of the subject matter, and the dexterity required for beading, please use your discretion as to whom will attend*

Norah loved beautiful stones and crystals. She collected them, wore them as bracelets and necklaces, and kept notes on the healing properties of her favorite stones.

After losing Norah to suicide, creating these bracelets began as a way to remember and feel connected to her.

Each bracelet is made using Norah’s favorite stones, and each one contains an ‘N’ bead to remember her by.

The process of making and sharing Norah Beads bracelets has sparked conversations in our community about mental illness, suicide prevention, wellness, and resiliency. We hope that these conversations will be a path toward breaking the silence and ending the stigma around mental illness. 

We hope that each bracelet will be a reminder to be kind to yourselves and each other, to spread love and hope, to keep going, and to know that even in the darkest times, there are people who wish nothing more than to help you find your way back into the light. 

Please join us as Susan, Norah’s Mother, guides us through this thoughtful process of creating your own unique reminder and one you can create to gift to someone else.
