Mark your calendar now for this heart-warming experience of metta and beading. Metta is also known as lovingkindness meditation, and is a process of well-wishing or blessing yourself and others using lines that traditionally focus on happiness, safety, mental and physical well-being and peace. You may remember participating in a brief metta practice at the end of yoga class on occasion. Following is a sample of the phrases.
May you be happy.
May you be healthy and strong.
May you be safe.
May you be peaceful and at ease.
We will explore these and several other guided metta sessions during the workshop, including how to develop a personal metta practice. You will also create a hand-beaded string of beads used as touchstones for the practice. The worshop cost is $20, which includes the class and also a beautiful selection of semi-precious gemstones to create your personalized metta beads. If you happen to have a pair of needle-nosed pliers, please bring them to class.
Pre-registration is required to ensure that we have ample beading supplies for everyone. To register, please call Michelle at 641-202-6821 or email to mjtwilson (AT) gmail (DOT) com by Thursday, Feb. 17.
