RETREAT: CHANGING BEAD BY BEAD-SEEING YOUR LIFE AS A STRAND OF BEADS
COUNTY MAYO-WESTERN IRELAND-MULRANNY VILLAGE ON THE BAY OF CLUE
A retreat based on my most recent book, Changing Bead By Bead: Seeing Life as a Strand of Beads. This retreat is an invitation to be in the present moment with a pile of beads and a string and see what magic happens. It shines a whole new light on beading and how you walk through life.
How we string and wear our beads can help us understand how we walk through the world, how we take care of ourselves, and how we make choices. By our actions, or inactions, we forge the look and shape and feel of our life strand.

Contemporary Prayer Bead Workshop
STUDIO WORKSHOPS:
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Participants come together to a safe and sacred space to make personal prayer beads. Together we look at traditional prayer beads and their relevance for prayer in our lives.
We uncover personal prayer practices and our connection with the Divine. Time is spent in quiet meditation and quiet activity. The group investigates beads and symbols as a metaphor for life.
Participants are encouraged to bring important beads and symbols from their life collection to be incorporated into the prayer beads. The meaningful events in each person's life are considered as beads are chosen to represent LIFE AS IT IS.
As a group we come to understand the innate wisdom that we share with all beings. Each of us will complete personal prayer beads during our time together.
Workshop fees include the cost of basic beads and materials needed to complete personal prayer beads. Tools and equipment will be supplied. Special beads and symbols will be available at additional cost.
Workshops are tailored for individual group needs. Workshop fees vary according to number of participants and length of activity. Time: Three to six hours Number of participants: 10-40
