What to Expect:

Our talisman class begins with exploring the healing properties of the various stones and a discussion of the symbolism associated with specific charms. An excellent beginner experience, we will briefly discuss each stone's traditional uses through time, what they’re practical for in modern times, and answer any questions you may have. The stones are passed around so you can connect with and feel the vibrations of each one. Choosing from R.E.D.’s findings, including various crystals, spacers, and birthstones, you’ll learn to craft a talisman, which is a piece believed to bring good luck and keep the wearer safe from harm. You’ll also receive a comprehensive workbook, and a cloth pouch for securely storing your unique design.
