Just in time to hand-make something special for the holidays!  Create your own 108-bead tassel necklace!

[Not sure what a mala is? See some examples in the shop]

We'll start with a brief intro to the roots of mala necklaces and why they have 108 beads.

We'll take some time to set an intention for the necklaces we're creating so they can be filled and empowered by that positive energy.

Then Katia will demo how to knot your necklace using the tweezers to help you get your knot right up under the bead so you don't have awkward spaces in your necklace. (You can also choose to forgo the knotting and string your beads if you prefer.)

We'll have time to work on our necklaces.  Katia will be there to help in case anything goes wrong.  She has made many mala necklaces and loves sharing the process.  She's a patient, helpful, hands-on teacher.

We'll also learn to make tassels for the end of the necklace and how to attach the tassels.

Before we leave, we'll also activate the malas to help charge them with the intentions set at the beginning of class.
