Are you seeking a meaningful and meditative creative experience? Join us on Sunday February 25th from 1:00pm to 3:30pm for an enlightening workshop where we delve into the art of making malas – beautiful and sacred beaded necklaces commonly used in meditation and prayer practices across various spiritual traditions.
Workshop Overview: During this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about the history, significance, and spiritual aspects of malas. We will explore how malas have been used for centuries as tools for mindfulness, intention-setting, and cultivating inner peace. Whether you are a beginner or have experience with meditation, this workshop is designed to deepen your understanding of the profound connections between the mind, body, and spirit.

The Art of Beading: Get hands-on as you learn the traditional technique of stringing and knotting beads to create your mala. Our experienced instructor will guide you through the process, ensuring you create a well-crafted and beautiful piece.
Setting Intentions: Explore the concept of intention-setting and how to infuse your mala with your unique purpose or affirmation. This step adds a personal and transformative touch to your creation.
Meditative Practice: Experience a guided meditation session to bless and consecrate your mala. Learn how to use your mala as a tool for meditation, mantra chanting, and mindfulness practices.
Empowering Connection: Connect with like-minded individuals and share the joy of creating something meaningful together. The workshop fosters a sense of community and support in your spiritual journey.
