27 Breaths: A Mala Bracelet Journey
All Materials and tools are provided by Yoko. Join us for a calm and meditative creative experience where you’ll design your own unique 27-bead Mala bracelet. Guided through the gentle process of selecting your crystal beads, stringing, and knotting, you’ll create a meaningful piece that reflects your personal intention. Making Mala beads is a soothing and mindful practice — each knot and bead becomes a breath, a pause, a moment of presence. Traditionally, Mala beads are used to support meditation and mantra practice, and are also cherished as symbols of protection, healing, and balance. Take this time to slow down, connect with your inner calm, and craft a piece that carries your energy and intention.
