MALA MAKING COURSE

Saturday, December 2nd

11am - 2pm

$40 (materials included)

with Meditation Teachers, Vickie Clement & Eve Miller

A mala is a traditional Buddhist rosary used to recite mantras.

In this course you will learn about the practice of mantra recitation and the traditional Buddhist techniques for making and using a mala. For Buddhist practitioners, a mala is very precious and meaningful. Through regular use, it becomes a very blessed and powerful object. 

All materials for this course will be provided, including a selection of beads, threading and tassel materials. You will come away with a completed mala and understand how to use it to benefit yourself and others. Malas also make excellent gifts! Everyone welcome, no experience necessary.
