Description

Guided by Mala Maker and Herbalist, Kendra of Turtle Herbals Mala’s are the oldest form of prayer beads and were traditionally used as a counting tool in meditation. Learn the history of the mala, its influence in meditation and the symbolism contained within each aspect of the mala. Gain insight on the chakra system and get a brief overview of some common gemstones and their energetic properties. Support your spiritual practice by creating your own intentional mala in this 5 hour workshop. First, we will begin with a guided meditation to help you find your intention or “sankalpa” that you wish to infuse into your own mala or as an intentional gift for a loved one. Next your guide Kendra will support you in making your own mala step-by-step. Your $100 investment includes our base mala-making-kit, equipped with all the supplies and tools needed to craft your own 108 bead mala. Choose from over fifty different gemstone beads and styles and your choice of a unique protective bag to store your mala in when it's not in use. During the workshop you have the opportunity to upgrade your mala-making-kit to include even more semi precious gemstone bead options for an extra $25-$50. This workshop includes a 30 minute lunch break so be sure to bring lunch and/or snacks. Loose leaf tea and water will be provided. Doors open at 9:45am Learn how to use your new Mala!
