Event Overview

Urban Sprouts in Renton, WA (just outside of Seattle!) and I are collaborating to bring you a wonderfully creative event. We'll have makings for mimosas and mala necklaces and/or bracelets! On that note, join us and devote time to allow your creative spirits to play together. Now is always the perfect time to create meaningful and powerful art to focus on those personal intentions and bring them with you. In this workshop, you have the opportunity to customize a mala beads necklace that expresses your unique story and style! With several types of natural stone beads, you'll tap into your creative flow to design a 108-bead knotted mala necklace and/or bracelets. You'll end up with a piece of art you wear and will always cherish.


The word “mala” means "heavenly garland" or "necklace", and it is used as a tool for meditation or prayer and as a beautiful talisman. To use it, typically one speaks or thinks on the name of a deity, intention, or affirmation while touching each bead. 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 positive intentions with you."


The $45 investment covers the guest instructor's fee + a $10 credit for you to use towards your mala making supplies - you choose what you make! Beaded Intention Bracelet Each bracelet is comprised of 20-25 beads one larger bead. $14 for 2 bracelets $20 for 3 bracelets Mala Necklace Kit $38, which includes 108 smooth beads, your choice of cord, tassel, and one large guru bead.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

I have a mission! I want to bring people together to create and grow a collective of curious creatives and artists in arms who wish to share their passion for making and hand-crafting beautiful things for the pure joy of it. I believe all art comes from the soul, the architect, and the hands and eyes are the builders for those inspired ideas. I myself am a bead and jewelry enthusiast, but I want to gather makers of all arts to inspire, support each other, and share. I'd love to build a creative community and bring together others who have a passion for making things. I also sing, play 5 instruments, and songwrite with my darling song sisters, The Warm Honeys, Sweet Water Remedy, and Starling in Denver and Boulder.

Ellen Pierce co-teaches the Songwriter Share Workshop. She is also the co-founder of Yoga in Your Park (YiP), coach trained as a therapist and performer, is one to spark your internal inspiration. When you are with her you feel like she is singing just for you - her songs are designed to trickle in, open you to the depths of who you really are and dissolve any lingering tensions. Ellen is known for her relentless idealism and joyful persistence. Ellen received a master's degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy (Naropa University) and was trained in the art of yoga at the Nosara Yoga Institute at the 500 hour level with extensive (700 hours) of training at Children's Hospital Colorado in Yoga Therapy. Two parts honey, one part sting, Ellen will inspire you to live into your next iteration with grace and ease.

Abby Lee is my assistant and co-teacher and will sometimes teach my jewelry classes. She says: Hi beautiful people! I'm Abby and I originate from the suburbs of Chicago, but traded the city lights for the mountain peaks! I am a bilingual Spanish special/general education teacher and an inspiring family and student advocate. I love working with all walks of life and growing every day in new experiences. I love to explore and play outdoors, cook, see live music, watch movies, practice yoga and spend time with my friends and new wonderful people I meet. I am so excited to create wonderful works of art with everyone!
