Description

An event to create your own mala necklace. Here, you will be taught properties of gemstones, history and meditations used with malas. $100 (register by March 12 for early bird discount - $90) Join Jaime Ralston-Wilson, mala artist, acupuncturist and owner of My Healing Homestead, as we come together for this fun and interactive workshop to create beautiful gemstone malas! A mala is a string of beads, or necklace, traditionally used as a tool in meditation to count mantras. Malas can be used in meditation or worn as a beautiful piece of jewelry, reminding the wearer of their intention and bringing a sense of mindfulness to daily life. In this 3-hour workshop, you will learn about the history and use of malas, participate in an intention setting meditation, learn about gemstones and their energetic properties, receive hands-on instruction on mala making, and participate in a closing meditation using your very own mala. The cost of the workshop includes instruction, supplies for a 108-bead gemstone mala, a storage bag, and instructions for mala use and care. Space is limited so sign up soon!  Participants should plan to bring a yoga mat or cushion to sit on during the class. Jaime Ralston-Wilson is the owner and acupuncturist at My Healing Homestead, a local acupuncture and wellness practice nestled in the garden of a small, but developing, urban homestead in the historic Willamette neighborhood. Jaime became a certified yoga instructor almost 20 years ago and has been teaching mala making workshops virtually for the past 2 years, while also creating unique customized gemstone malas.
