Sound Infused Crystal Bracelet Making Workshop
Join us for a beautiful and intentional Workshop, where creativity, mindfulness, and sacred energy weave together in a supportive, high-vibration space.
We will begin with an opening circle, grounding our energy and setting clear intentions through a guided meditation. From there, you’ll weave your intentions into form as you create your own crystal bracelets—infused with your personal goals, desires, and affirmations. These bracelets are more than jewelry; they are energetic anchors and daily reminders of the work you’ve done.
Finally, we’ll journey into a deeply restorative sound therapy, allowing the frequencies to anchor and seal our intentions into the body.
During this workshop, you will:
💫 Experience a deep grounding & intention setting meditation, connecting guided by Sagnite Castro
💫 Receive a sound healing journey, facilitated by Ernesto Castro.
💫 Learn the art of intentional bracelet making, guided step-by-step by Catherine Nandzik
💫 Gain clarity and focus through intention setting and manifestation practices
💫 Participate in a cleansing and blessing ceremony to energetically charge your materials
💫 Create one crystal bracelet, choosing from a curated selection of high-quality crystal beads
No experience is necessary—just bring an open heart and a willingness to create.
All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with handcrafted bracelets infused with meaning, purpose, and aligned energy.
