Join Phil for this unique workshop where you will design and create your own Mala, learn about Japa and experience using your Mala for Japa Meditation.
Workshop includes lunch and all the materials for your creation.
A Mala is a string of 108 beads plus a Guru bead.
Malas are used as a tool to help focus the mind on meditation whilst saying a mantra, prayer or positive affirmation. The practice of repeating a mantra using a Mala is called Japa (which translates as ‘muttering’ in Sanskrit)
Prayer beads have been used for generations in various spiritual traditions, for example – Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Jainism and Sikhism.
No experience needed to partake in this relaxing and enjoyable workshop.
“Had the most amazing experience ever making Japa Beads with Phil. An experience that will last forever in our hearts. Total love Om mani padme hum. Total gratitude Aum.”
-Valerie Gillespie
“Making the Mala with Phil was truly a lovely experience at Creacon. I could make my own decisions in choosing the colours & beads etc. Phil is such a charming person and her support was delightful! This workshop was worth it and my Mala already did positive work on me”
– Sarah Soiron
