ABOUT MINDFUL MALAS: Mala Beads or variations of Prayer Beads come from many cultures. They are often used as a focus and grounding apparatus for meditative practices.

ZenCamp's popular event, Mindful Malas, empowers you to explore your creativity and create uniquely-YOU-flavoured set of mala beads that you can wear or use in your personal practice, or just to wear for fun for years to come! We provide everything you need to make your beads. If you have a special charm to add, bring it along!

There are several styles of Mindful Mala Beads:

• large wooden bead elastic bracelets: easy for younger kids to make and personalize with different colors, strings, & charms

• small bead elastic bracelets: quick and relatively easy to make, personalize with charms or spacer beads. add drops of essential oils to unstained wood to create an even richer sensory experience.

• long sliding-bead mala beads: using wooden or gemstone beads, create a long set of stiff or elastic beads. personalize with tassles, charms, spacer beads, or attempt a more complex knot to finish it off!

• long knotted-bead mala beads: these typically beads take the longest to make because a knot is tied in between each bead. the process is extremely meditative and satisfying once you become proficient. may take 1-3 sessions to complete for your first set. but we can start you off!

Warning: Like all crafts offered at ZenCamp, this craft is also slightly addictive!
