MINI MALA WORKSHOP coming up at Twist Gallery and Studios in the Bayshore Arts District in Naples on March 12 from 5 to 7 pm!

This fun workshop is for anyone looking to deepen their meditation/mindfulness practice by connecting with the art of mala-making. We will have delicious tulsi tea to sip on, relaxing music, and sustainably-sourced aromatic palo santo beads to work with, all nestled into a cozy, boho art gallery on Bayshore Drive. We will also be incorporating semi-precious stones associated with the Spring Equinox to set us up for success in this coming season (see photos for a sneak peek). I look forward to sharing this ancient art with the Naples community 📿

I'm so excited to announce that I am finally offering a mala-making workshop after thinking and talking about it for years! We will be making mini malas so that everyone can get the process down in less time and leave with the confidence to make full 108-bead malas on their own. The vibes at The Wallflower Shoppe are immaculate - quiet, cozy, infused with the positive energy and goofiness of its owners. I'm so honored to be hosting my first ever public jewelry workshop here, where I feel supported and loved...and you will too!

Stringing a japa mala is a meditation.

These beaded necklaces are traditionally used as a tool to focus our attention while meditating by reciting a mantra, prayer, or just taking an intentional breath while holding each of the 108 beads between our fingers, one after the other.

I find that the creation of a mala- the thoughtful choosing of beads, the stringing, and the knot-tying- are also forms of meditation.

The knots between each bead are less noticed, but are an important part of the craftsmanship of a mala. Tying over one hundred of these small knots takes a lot more time than just stringing the beads on thread, but they are a meaningful part of the japa mala.

The knots provide ~ s p a c e ~ between the beads- they remind us that we all need some space to just be, as well as physically preventing the beads from hitting against one another and wearing. They strengthen the mala, making it more difficult to break and lose beads. The space between beads also helps the user feel where one bead ends and the next begins with eyes closed in meditation.

Knots are said to symbolize many things, but I like to think of them as a reminder of our interconnectedness with the world around us. The process of tying a knot between each bead is repetitive & simple, but also takes focus & precision. It prevents my mind from wandering very far from the present moment. Each knot is tied with my peaceful intentions for the future wearer. It is an act of loving service to you and to the Universe.

Pictured here is The Cosmos Mala made with Galaxy Tiger's Eye beads, Hamsa Hand accents, Lava beads, and small Hematite cubes to keep us grounded 💫

It was awesome when I attended last year- great music, food, local artists. So wonderful to see the Cape come alive in this way!
