Event Overview

Feed your soul, and create a beautiful and meaningful talisman. Tap into your creative flow as you design your own 108-bead mala necklace. You will choose your own stones and customize your mala so that it tells your unique story and meets your personal needs. When we're done, you will walk away with a piece of art you can wear and always cherish.

The Sanskit word “mala” means "heavenly garland" or "necklace" and it is used as a tool for meditation or prayer and as a beautiful talisman. It is sacred, and intended for meditation and attunement, and traditionally as you touch each bead, you think the name of a deity, intention, or affirmation.

Over time, the more you use it, the more powerful it becomes, and the more peaceful, aware, and tuned in you become. I love the idea of the mala, believing that when you use it for meditation or mindfulness, you carry those mantras and positive intentions with you.

You don't have to do yoga or be into meditation to make one. This workshop is for anyone who wants to create a powerful object that is beautiful, personal, and meaningful.

Space is limited!

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

I consider myself a maker! I love making things, be it jewelry, songs, a party, a little altar. Creating is where I'm mostly myself. I feel free, happy, courageous, peaceful.

Teaching has always been a part of my life. I taught choirs, I taught piano, and now I teach guitar and mala craft. I also work as a school psychologist, so I teach students in classrooms and small groups as well. It's an honor to be part of someone's growth, to be side by side with those on a creative and personal journey.
