What is Life Beading?
​
​Life Beading is a unique, adaptable practice that combines the art of beading with personal reflection, growth, and storytelling.
For individuals or groups, it offers a tangible way to explore life's myriad experiences - from seeking deeper meaning to celebrating joys, from finding courage to honoring loved ones.
​
Each bead you choose becomes a physical representation of an insight, a memory, or an aspiration, creating a wearable story of your personal journey.
"Beware the barrenness of a busy life"- Socrates

The Inspiration behind Life Beading
My background in philosophy and life coaching exposed me to a wealth of ideas about living well and navigating life's complexities. I realized that people connect with personal reflection in different ways and at different stages of life.
​
Life Beading emerged as a versatile tool to make personal growth and reflection accessible and meaningful for everyone. Inspired by ancient wisdom traditions and modern psychology, I created Life Beading as a way to remember what matters most.
​
From philosophical explorations to self-discovery, from building courage to finding meaning in loss, Life Beading offers a unique way to engage with life's full spectrum of experiences. It's about creating personal talismans of growth, understanding, resilience, and joy – one bead at a time.
​
Join us in this creative journey of self-discovery and connection. Wherever you are in life's journey, there's a Life Beading experience waiting for you.

Life Beading and lessons from Stoicism
-
Is this jewellery making?You can wear your beads if you wish. But think of them more as a tool - something which not only looks pretty but is full of life-enhancing symbolism.
-
Is this just for people who are interested in spirituality or religion?No. People of all faiths or no faith; people who consider themselves on a spiritual path or aren't accustomed to thinking in those terms at all - all are welcome. Everyone will find something of value because this is about LIFE - the one universal experience we all share. Discussions revolve around how we can live meaningfully and happily.
-
What is philosophy?The word 'philosophy' comes from the Greek for 'love of wisdom'. I like to think of it as 'getting to the bottom of things'. It can involve simple reflection, turning over ideas and discussion. We are all philosophers in our own way. One of the main concerns of philosophy is how to flourish - how to live a meaningful and happy life.
-
Will I have to say much in the workshop?Only if you want to! Nobody has to do anything, or say anything, if they don't want to.
-
Can I bring my child?Life Beading is a lovely thing to do in family groups. I recommend a thoughtful teen - 14yrs and over.
-
Do you offer group discounts, private events or 1:1s?Yes. Get in touch and we can discuss your requirements.
-
Is this therapy?I'm not a therapist, I'm a philosophy teacher and life coach. My participants have called it 'therapy' though. The ideas we consider, and just taking time out to reflect on what's important in life, is therapeutic. There's always a lot of kindness and support in the room, there's also plenty of laughter! If you are receiving care from a mental health professional or have experienced trauma, Life Beading might not be right for you at this time however do get in touch if you'd like to discuss this further.
-
Is there meditation?Guided meditations and visualisations are integrated into the Life Beading experience. You will be invited to close your eyes and simply listen. People generally find them powerful.
-
What do I take home?Your own set of beads that you selected and created yourself, that serve as a reminder of your personal insights. You will also take home a written record of your Life Beading Journey, and an additional course accompaniment for continued personal development are available to purchase for some of the journeys.
