Description

Come join us for an evening of creativity and mantra. 🕉 Malas were first created in India 3000 years ago and have roots in Hinduism, Buddhism and yoga. The term 'mala' is a Sanskrit word for “meditation garland.” Originally, mala beads were used for a special style of meditation called Japa, which means, “to recite". During this event we will be making our own Malas in the traditional way. We will chant a mantra over each bead as we string them together, imbueing them with the sacred energy of the spoken words. We will also take time at the end to chant together as a group a full Mala mantra. When a group of people are able to chant together in unison it magnifies the sacred energy. This time together will be a fun way to bring spiritual meditation into your everyday lives. You will be bringing your Mala home with you at the end and if you so choose, you can incorporate chanting mantras into your everyday practice. All materials will be provided. I hope to see you there! 🙏 Cost of attendance will be $30 per person
