Mala Making & Meditation

Mala Making & Meditation is a workshop dedicated to learning all about handmade Mala Beads. With admission to this workshop you will receive a kit of all the beads, cord, and tools needed to create your own Mala bead necklace. We will be focusing on the chakra stones so each kit will include 102 sandalwood beads that will make up the majority of our malas, and then either one of each chakra stone or 7 of one chakra stone you specifically feel aligned with. 

During these two hours we will learn how to hand tie our own Mala beads, as well as have a discussion on the history and significance of Malas, the number 108, japa meditation, and the seven chakras. By the end of this workshop you will have all the tools & instruction necessary to complete your very own hand made Mala beads as well as the education needed to integrate this sacred tool into your daily yoga and meditation practice.
