Life Beading: A Unique Tool for Transformation, Meaning and Calm
Life Beading is a creative, hands-on way to reflect on what truly matters.
It combines the tactile pleasure of choosing beads with guided reflections on life’s essential truths. Each bead represents an insight or intention — a beautiful, lasting reminder of your journey.
At its heart, Life Beading is about connection: to ourselves, to timeless wisdom, and to each other.
There are different Life Beading journeys, each designed for a unique moment in life. Whether you're seeking:
-
Courage in times of change
-
A flourishing, fulfilling life
-
Meaning after loss
-
Clarity on what matters most
-
Deeper connection with others
Sessions blend visualisations, meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and simple creativity with a beautiful selection of beads.
Life Beading is ancient and modern wisdom, soulful creativity, and deep listening — all woven together.
It’s a chance to pause, reflect, and create something that holds personal meaning.

Is Life Beading the same as 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.
-
Will I have to say much in a Life Beading 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 to a Life Beading workshop?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 for Life Beading?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.
-
What do I take home from Life Beading?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.
