Mala Maker with a Mission to assist the world in prayer

Travelling 22 countries in nine years I am now on a journey of assisting people in their meditation, prayer, and spiritual life.
The focus is to build a meditation and retreat centre and unite like-minded individuals to help empower the world for change...a focus of love, compassion, and sustainable existence in the every changing world.

People often ask how I became a mala maker and I say that one day a Swami friend of mine came to me and said "Why don't you make malas?" and the next thing I found myself sitting in Bodhgaya, India
(the place where Buddha obtained enlightenment) making malas!!
My teachers grandfather was the first mala maker in Bodhgaya!

It is an honour to serve the West through this craft. I continue to return to India and advance my learning in this ancient craft.

Money from the sale of malas goes to sustaining my life in the West, as well as travelling in the winter months, and sending money to friends overseas that I have hired as buyers.
