Prayer beads have been used across many cultures for centuries as a sacred pathway to mindfulness, devotion, and connection to the divine.
Malas are traditionally composed of 108 beads and are most commonly found within Hindu and Buddhist practices. They serve as a meditation tool, helping to anchor attention through breath, mantra, or rhythmic repetition.
Join us for the sacred art of mala making, where you will be guided to create a piece that is both meaningful and personal. You will choose your materials with intention, selecting from a variety of wooden beads for the main body of the mala, along with gemstone beads, a guru bead, and your choice of a tassel or hanging pendant for added personalization.
Once your mala is complete, we will gather for a guided meditation to bless the malas we have created. You’ll also be introduced to practical ways to use your mala as a supportive tool for developing or deepening a meditation practice.
In this workshop, you will learn:
