Malas and Mantra Workshop

Make your own Mala to take home and learn about the power of Mantra in this fun weekend workshop. 

A mala is a string of prayer beads used in meditation to count mantras, a practice known as japa. The mala acts as a tactile guide for counting mantra, allowing its user to focus more deeply on the meaning and the sound vibrations of the mantra being repeated. Each strand is traditionally made up of 108 beads, may have a decorative tassel at the end, and can be made of a variety of materials including gemstones, rudrakshas, bodhi seeds, or different woods.

A mantra is a set of words that is repeated silently or while chanting, and is a powerful psychic tool used to purify and strengthen the mind. It acts as a vehicle to aid the practitioner in transcending their normal thought patterns and in recognizing and acknowledging the divinity that exists within. Mantra can bring the practitioner to the experience of their higher consciousness.
