Let’s get together and make some memories while we knot some spiritual armour!
I personally fell in love with handknotting malas about three years ago, and I have shared the magical and meditative experience with others ever since!
My workshops are more than just making jewellery.
They are all about connecting with a community, sharing stories (and sometimes struggles), making new connections and friends and crafting something beautifully powerful, with love and intention. Something tangible that embodies the energy you put into it, that you can carry with you out into your daily life. Spiritual armour, if you will.
These workshops are more than just making knots.
For only the second time ever we will be knotting gemstones from all 7 chakras. When choosing your gemstone, be sure to read the description and see what resonates with you the most. More than one kit can be purchased, but we will only have time to knot one mala during the workshop.
Malas have been used throughout time to support prayer and meditation practices, while symbolizing our connection to higher consciousness and spiritual oneness. Malas are also beautiful and worn to make us feel good.
In this calm and relaxing 4 hour workshop you will learn how to string together Mala Beads while infusing each knot with positive and healing energy. Setting an intention with every bead strung. We will also make our own tassels from scratch and learn how to attach them securely to your Mala.
