Introducing the Emerging from Shadow Mālā
Join us Sunday December 21st, 2025 from 5-6:30pm PST for a virtual Solstice Grief Circle. A space to gather in the season of shadow, honor what’s stirring within, and explore meditation with your mālā as a grounded anchor.
The Emerging from Shadow Mālā is a sacred strand for those walking through the tender landscape of loss. An anchor that honors grief not as something to fix or hide, but as a sacred teacher, a companion on the path toward healing.
This piece invites you to move through your mourning with tenderness, courage, and devotion. Allow your heart to be both broken and whole, luminous and human.
A portion of proceeds of each mālā supports families and individuals deep in the well of grief, helping normalize conversations around loss and sustain those navigating its depths. Each piece is both a talisman of healing and an offering of solidarity, a way to say, you are not alone in your sorrow.
The beads…
Golden Obsidian
Hand-knotted with Golden Obsidian, this mālā reflects light within darkness, the quiet shimmer of resilience that lives beneath sorrow. Golden obsidian protects and grounds the heart as it softens the edges of pain, helping you see the wisdom that grief reveals over time. Golden Obsidian carries that grounding + shielding qualities of regular black obsidian, but with a layer of golden sheen that symbolizes light emerging from shadow.
It helps create an energetic boundary when emotions feel overwhelming.
Offers a sense of safety while navigating raw, unfiltered feelings of grief.
Encourages release of heavy energies that cling to the heart after loss.
Helps you face with grief without denial, numbing, or avoidance.
Can gently draw repressed emotions to the surface for healing release.
Brass Teardrop Guru Bead
The shape itself if alchemical: what falls from the heart becomes a vessel of purification.
As the guru bead (the teachers bead), the tear symbolizes that grief is the teacher, a guide to presence, compassion, and transformation.
It honors grief as devotion, acknowledging that tears are love’s language when words fall alway.
The tear embodies release, the sacred act of allowing emotion to flow rather than harden.
Silver Brass Tear Puddle
Scattered throughout are silver brass pieces shaped like small tear puddles, tiny alters of reflections. They speak to the beauty that remains after the storm, where emotions remain.
Symbolizes accumulated emotion, the depth that forms when you allow yourself to feel fully.
Reflective by nature: like a mirror, it invites you to see yourself and your loved on in the stillness that follows release.
Reminds us that our grief is not linear, it pools, evaporates, and returns in cycles.
Represents the soft landing place for the heart, where sorrow and beauty can coexist.
