For this month’s event, Mahfida Tahniat once again invited Sai Manjari to facilitate her Mindfulness with Mahfida event. Sai taught participants the basic steps and some easy techniques for making lovely jewelry. Participants picked their own colors, charms (such as butterflies, dolphins, hearts, stars and so on), and letter beads. They enjoyed making earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and personalized phone charms, each reflecting their unique style.

Participants couldn’t believe that without any prior experience, they could not only create these amazing pieces of jewelery, but also instantly put them on and head back home with a sense of pride of their creations! The finished jewelry, whether a bracelet or a pair of earrings, is more than just an accessory. It reminds participants of their purpose, the calm they felt while making it, and the sense of fulfillment from the experience.
