Born at House of Waves · Costa Rica
A mantra you can wear.
A talisman of honey gold engraved with Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu: may all beings everywhere be happy and free. Sung over 108 times by the community before it reaches you, so it carries the power of the circle.
First edition · 108 numbered pieces
Not just a piece of jewelry. A talisman that carries the power of the community: the voices of thousands of people who sat together in a circle and sang.
Where it was born
Born in a circle
For two years, every Thursday, our community came together at House of Waves to sing.
More than a hundred jam nights of music and tea. No stage and no audience, just a circle of voices offered as love to the world. The mantras on this necklace were sung there again and again, until they became part of the house.
That is the power of the circle. In a circle we hold each other, we share our tools, and we become better together. Nothing ends and nothing dies: never born, never dies. What we sing ripples out, from one voice to the next, and into this necklace.
Before it reaches you, every piece is sung over 108 times by the community, so the circle travels with it.

The 108
Sung over by the community
Before the first edition leaves, I gather friends in a circle and we sing Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu 108 times over the necklaces.
Watch the circle sing, and see how the power of the community ripples into every piece.

House of Waves · Playa Garza, Costa Rica
Waves of sound
House of Waves is a beach house that celebrates music.
We welcome musicians. There are instruments in the house, a recording studio, and a circle that sings together. It is where Honey Hour begins, and it is our first store.
When you choose a necklace, you choose it from a real place and a real community, not from a faceless shop.
Staying with us? Ask to see the necklace and hold it in your hands.
The necklace
One circle. One mantra.
No beginning and no end. Never born, never dies, like a song sung in a circle.
The mantra runs all the way around the front. On the back, the same words in their original Devanagari script, your number in the edition, and the Honey Hour mark.

The mantra
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनो भवन्तु
“May all beings everywhere be happy and free.”
It asks nothing for yourself. It is a collective prayer for the people you love, for the people you will never meet, and for you among them. A small way to become better humans, together.
Worn close to the heart, it becomes a talisman: a small magical device that carries the prayer with you, for magic and peace, happiness and freedom, for all beings.
- LokahLO-kahall the worlds, every being
- Samastahsa-MAS-tahall of them, together
- SukhinoSU-khi-nohappy, at ease, free from suffering
- Bhavantubha-VAN-tumay they be
An old Sanskrit prayer, sung at the close of circles around the world.
The gift inside
Scan it, and I will guide you
Every necklace arrives with a coin tag tied with honey thread.
On the front, the mantra around the Honey Hour mark in gold. On the back, the mantra in its original script and its meaning, a QR code, your ritual key, and your number in the edition, written by hand.
Scan it, type the key, choose a ritual for the two of you and press play. I guide you with my voice: I ask the questions and keep the time. You answer each other, while my guitar plays Lokah Samastah softly under the pauses. When I tell you, you cut the thread together.
That is the real gift: not only a necklace, but a container held for the two of you. New rituals appear there over time, with the same code and the same key.

The tag is 55 mm across; the necklace is 28 mm. Tap a side to see it full size.
Rituals for two
Not just a gift. An intention you set together.
Scan the coin tag, type the key printed on it, choose the ritual for your moment and press play. I guide you with my voice, with questions and pauses, my guitar playing softly underneath.
Calling in together
Set one intention you want to create together, and seal it in the circle.
Open the ritual → About 35 minutesThe Honest Hour
A safe container for intimacy, for a man who brings this gift to his partner: speak honestly about where you are, fears and needs, desires and boundaries, sexual health and aftercare.
Open the ritual → About 20 minutesRenewing your vows
For married couples and long-time partners: remember, thank, and promise again.
Open the ritual →More rituals are coming: learning to listen, through a hard time, celebrating.
Honey Hour rituals are an intention you set together, not a promise and not a therapy.
Where the songs have travelled
Sung around the world
I have carried these mantras across the planet.
In singing circles with mantras, medicine songs, rainbow songs and my own songs, the same thing happens everywhere: we come back to our roots. We dance, we sing, we jump, and we remember what it means to be together, as a community and as humans.
This necklace is a way to take that circle home, and to let it ripple on.

Questions
Before you choose
Is it real gold?
Yes. Honey Gold is a heavy layer of real gold, 5 microns thick, over 925 silver: about five times thicker than ordinary plating.
Can I wear it every day?
Yes. It is made to be worn and loved every day.
How do I care for it?
Love it. Touch it whenever you feel alone, when you need the power of the community, or when you look for your inner strength. Put your hand on it. That is how you care for it, because it is about the heart.
How do I wear it?
It comes on a honey waxed cord with a small gold slider bead. Open the slider to pass it over your head, then slide it to the length you like: about 50 cm, with the pendant on the upper chest. A small tube hidden on the back also takes your own chain, or pass a chain straight through the circle.
What is the QR code on the tag?
It opens your ritual page. The ritual key printed on your tag opens my guided audio rituals: choose one for the two of you, press play, and I guide you with my voice, my guitar under the pauses. New rituals appear there over time, with the same code and the same key.
How much is it, and how do I get one?
US$250, with its honey cord and coin tag. Write to [email protected] and I reply personally with the details; card payment is coming soon. At House of Waves in Playa Garza, Costa Rica, our first store, you can also hold it in your hands.
Is it right to wear a sacred mantra?
Lokah Samastah is sung openly in circles all over the world. We offer it with respect: every piece is sung over 108 times by the community before it leaves, as an intention, not a decoration.
