Since ancient times, candles have helped us light up the darkness—guiding travelers, marking sacred rituals, and providing warmth and comfort through long nights. Their quiet glow remains a symbol of hope, intention, and resilience—especially in these uncertain times. As many across the country and globe increasingly face the devastating impacts of climate-fueled natural disasters, when storms can knock out power for days at a time, that candles become a practical emergency preparedness resource.This hands-on workshop invites you to reconnect with the timeless art and valuable skill of candle making while cultivating a sense of calm, creativity, and mindfulness.

As we melt wax and blend fragrances, you’ll experience the meditative rhythm of the process—breathing in the therapeutic aromas of pure plant essential oils and engaging your senses through each step. Participants will learn how to melt and pour wax safely, blend scents mindfully, and adorn their candles with dried botanicals like lavender, rose, and chamomile for both beauty and benefit.

We’ll explore the properties of various wax types and how different botanicals and essential oils can enhance your candle’s aesthetic and aromatic qualities. A variety of vessels will be available, allowing you to personalize your creations to suit your space, style, or gifting ideas.

Whether you’re drawn to the craft for its practicality, artistry, or serenity, this workshop offers a welcoming space to slow down, engage your senses, and create something beautiful and useful with your own hands.

Each participant will leave with at least one hand-poured candle, a deeper understanding of the materials and methods, and a DIY kit to continue the candle making journey at home.

Cacao/FireCeremony

Cacao has the power to let healing energy move throughout our bodies, opening up the heart’s center. In this ceremony, we will utilize the advantages of cacao to open ourselves up to the forces that guide us, and, while we are open, allow the powerful cleansing energies of meditation and sound healing to enter and flow through you.

Join Leslee Penny as she takes you through a journey of spiritual release, de-stressing, healing, and letting go of what no longer serves you. Moments like these are much needed during these times, where we can share and connect with others (safely!) and bring ourselves back to a healthy, tranquil state.

Leslee will begin the session teaching breathwork techniques, utilizing them in a guided meditation. The meditation will be followed by a full-body resonant sound healing. Leslee’s collection of sound healing instruments, acquired over the years, includes a large 38-inch Earth gong – which has been said to send resonance from your head to your feet!

We guarantee a day of relaxation and fun! You’ll leave feeling refreshed with a sense of clarity and community, emanating peace and love.
