Karma Star Bead Workshop & Ceremony Gatherings
Prayer beads gatherings with Tara are intimate, intention-filled experiences—as each bead is a hand-typed or hand-written paper strip, sometimes anointed, painted, as an expression of self and spirit rolled into a beautiful bead that can remind one of their purpose and creative expression. They are meant to be gifted, shared, held, worn, or used in your own way that supports your healing, creativity, remembrance, or personal practice. Every bead carries a uniquely human touch, making it a meaningful celebration for rituals, honoring remembrance, or anchoring shared values or goals.
While deeply personal, these beads also shine in community or small group settings—perfect for community gatherings, causes, advocacy work, and, even, corporate retreats and or organizational team-building, where they bring a sense of grounding, purpose, and shared connection. Tara is available for these special Karma Star Bead gatherings, plenary speaking engagements, and creative healing consulting as she is now booking for 2026.
Beads are tools by which people convey information to other people, while reminding the wearer of his or her own commitment to a set of beliefs and principles. They have been significant to people from Neolithic Asia to twentieth-century New York. They are and have always been used to state basic relationships to life and the supernatural. People have used beads to organize and symbolize their world. They have been guideposts in human relationships and expressions of innermost feelings.
