What is Life Beading?
​
​Life Beading is wisdom in tangible form.
We blend the creativity of beading with practical wisdom, making insights wearable and lasting.
In these intimate workshops, we explore a range of universal experiences including how to develop courage, cultivate a life of flourishing and discover your purpose.
​
The structured journeys contain deep questions, wisdom teachings and visualizations.
​
As you choose each bead, you're creating not just a beautiful bracelet, but a personal reminder of your insights. Some call it transformative. Others call it therapy for the soul. I call it bringing wisdom back to where it belongs - in our daily lives.
Bringing together ancient wisdom, inner work, conversation and hands-on beading - this is what makes Life Beading unique.
"Beware the barrenness of a busy life"- Socrates. Life Beading makes time for life's bigger questions.
"Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most" - The Buddha. Life Beading puts a pause on the usual routine, crafting meaning and clarity.

My Life Beading - My Story
Life Beading for Stoic wisdom
-
Is this jewellery making?We mostly make beaded bracelets However, unlike ordinary jewellery making, the first thought isn't about the design - it's about choosing a bead that best captures the insight we're reflecting on. Bracelets are genuinely unique - no two look the same!
-
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 personal development 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.
