We will close our creative experience by blessing our beads with intention and positive energy. No experience is necessary, and you do not need to bring anything. All beads, tools and supplies are included, along with wine and light refreshments. Wine will be available to guests ages 21 and older; nonalcoholic options will also be provided. About Waistbeads Waistbeads are rooted in centuries-old traditions practiced across many African cultures. They have been worn to honor femininity, spirituality, healing, personal power, rites of passage, body awareness, fertility, celebration and transformation. Traditionally, waistbeads may be worn beneath clothing, resting at or below the waist, in a single strand or multiple layers. Today, women also wear them visibly as jewelry, personal expression and sacred adornment. Your waistbeads can hold whatever meaning you choose. They may mark a new beginning, carry an intention, celebrate your body or simply remind you that you are worthy of beauty and adornment—right now, exactly as you are.
