In these turbulent times we all need something to hold onto.  Join us–Reverend Paula Zabkar and jewelry artist Jill Lahnstein–as we collect our beading materials, raise the roof on our vibration through chanting and fellowship, and create a prayer/meditation bracelet that we can use as a meaningful reminder to reach for joy.

When
First Session:      Sunday, November 1st from 11:00-12:15
Second Session:  Sunday, November 8th from 11:00-12:15

Where
We will gather together in a virtual sanctuary through Uber Conference.  Reverend Paula will send a link to the virtual space to all registrants. Please email info@spiritualsoulcenter.org to reserve your spot to let her know that you would like to participate.

Chant
Our chant will be the Green Tara chant: Om tare tuttare ture soha

The Green Tara chant is a Tibetan Buddhist chant to one iteration of the goddess Tara.  Tara is known as a liberator, and it is believed by Tibetan Buddhists that chanting the Green Tara can free us from fear, pride, attachments, doubts–and anything else that may keep us from rising into our joy.

We will use Karl Anthony’s version during the class, and you can access it here: All the Love (Green Tara)

You are encouraged to chant a more traditional version at home, and you can access it here: Traditional Green Tara Chant

Bracelet:
We will make a simple bracelet of wooden or bone beads (for grounding) with accent beads of various colors and materials( for joy).

Premade bead kits of wood or bone are available and can be reserved at the first meeting. The kits will include beads, an amulet, stringing material, and a Tibetan bag.  The bead kits cost $20 each.  There are several options from which you can choose.

If you want to use your own beading materials, you will need:
–30 8mm or 40 6mm beads of an earth material: wood, bone, seed, horn
–Several accent beads that inspire you to reach for joy.
–A charm or amulet of any material.
–Elastic stringing material.

Feeling good is the manifestation I am reaching for.
