Novembers workshop is a celebration of balance, grounding, and spiritual clarity. You’ll create a beautiful, wearable necklace using dendritic opal — a stone known for its organic, branch-like inclusions of iron or manganese that form mesmerising natural patterns.
 
Each opal carries its own energy: white-based stones enhance mental and spiritual clarity, while darker tones help to heal past emotional wounds. Together, they hold the dual energy of the Crown and Root Chakras — connecting earth and spirit.
You’ll have the option to choose a single statement crystal or a trio to bead into your design, crafting your piece with calm intention.
 
This is a limited seasonal workshop, available only throughout November, with just 7 spaces available.
