About this Event
Join Kathy Glaser from Wandering Ashram Yoga & Meditation School for a beautiful afternoon of mindful creation and meditation. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to handcraft your own 108-bead mala necklace and discover how to use it for japa (mantra) meditation—a time-honored practice that calms the mind, opens the heart, and deepens spiritual focus.
A mala is more than a necklace—it’s a sacred tool for meditation and intention. Traditionally made with 108 beads, each bead represents a breath, a mantra repetition, or a prayer, helping to anchor your awareness as you move through the cycle. As you string your beads, you’ll infuse your mala with personal energy and intention, creating a deeply meaningful object that supports your practice for years to come.
Once your mala is complete, Kathy will guide you through a mantra meditation practice, teaching you how to work with sound, vibration, and repetition to quiet the mind and expand presence. You’ll leave with your handcrafted mala, a mantra chosen just for you, and the confidence to continue your japa practice on your own.
What's Included:
- Guided hands on instruction
- All beads & supplies
- Your very own mantra
- Community support
- Tea & Snacks
