Workshops Descriptions 
Make Your Own Mala Beads:
Originally inspired by the ‘Global Mala Project’. Ivy will lead you through the process of designing your own set of mala beads. The 1st part of the workshop is a yoga class that will help you to connect your intuition and get the Shakti flowing. The class also includes chanting, meditation, and some free form movement/dancing. The second part of the workshop is turning the intention into a mantra. The students are asked to choose the based on instinct and intuition.

The making of the mala beads is a silent process, so that the students can silently recite their mantra each time they add a new bead to the string. As the students bead Ivy reads information on the significance of 108 and the use mantra. At the end Ivy will reveal the energy of each style of gemstone.

Uncovering 'Your' Sacred Symbol:       In this workshop, Ivy will guide students through a Vinyasa Practice, which will include Mudras, Pranayama, and Chanting. Afterward the students will be guided by Cheryl into a Shamanic Jouney/Meditiation, which will lead them to their ‘Sacred Symbol’. Once the students are guided back, a short break will be taken and then together Ivy & Cheryl will lead the students through an Art Project that will allow them to express their own creativity. Students will leave with a Batik style t-shirt adorned with their ‘Sacred Symbol’.
