Mala Making with Dawn - Workshop

Description
This workshop guides participants through the art and meaning of traditional mala making, blending creativity, meditation, and intention setting. Each person will design and hand‑string their own 108‑bead mala using thoughtfully selected beads, a guru bead, and a handmade tassel. Along the way, they’ll learn the symbolism behind malas, how they’re used in meditation, and how to infuse each bead with personal intention.
The session moves at a gentle, meditative pace. Participants are invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and treat the process as a ritual of presence. As they knot each bead, they’ll explore themes of grounding, clarity, and inner alignment — allowing the mala to become not just a piece of jewelry, but a meaningful tool for practice.
What the workshop includes:
• An introduction to the history and purpose of mala beads
• Guidance on choosing materials that match personal energy or intention
• All materials and step‑by‑step instruction on knotting, stringing, and tassel making
• Space for reflection, intention setting, and mindful crafting
• A completed, custom mala to take home and use in meditation or daily life
Who it’s for:
This workshop is ideal for anyone drawn to meditation, yoga, ritual, or creative expression — no experience needed. It’s a calming, community‑oriented experience that leaves participants with both a beautiful mala and a deeper connection to themselves.
