Mala Making (virtual) Ceremony
Gift someone special a Mala this Valentine’s Day — in support of BUTTONNOSES rescue

What are Mala beads?
Used in Buddhist and Hindu prayer ceremonies and meditation for centuries, Mala beads are deeply symbolic and spiritual. In modern day, they’re often used in meditation and yoga practice to promote concentration, mindfulness, unity, and openness.

 More about this event 

Francesca's Mala Making Sacred Circles will support us in creating and reaffirming our intentions of well-being for all fur creatures. During this event, you will create a unique Mala which you may wear and use in meditation, or gift to a loved one. 

The event will begin with a smudge and welcome ceremony, followed by a Chakra balancing crystal meditation. In a sacred manner, we will create personal Malas. Next we will cleanse our Malas with sound and collectively recite mantras putting our gorgeous Malas to use. Each attendee will receive a mantra card, all the necessary materials, and an organza bag to store your Mala in.

 This event is open to everyone and perfect for all ages.

 In this 90-minute virtual event, you will:

  • Learn about the history and power of Mala beads

  • Promote mindfulness by crafting a Mala of your very own

  • Leave the event with a hand-crafted Valentine’s Day gift for someone special (or, keep it to enjoy yourself!)
