CandleMaking

 

In this hands-on workshop you’ll create three take-home treasures: a massage candle that melts into warm, silky oil; a nourishing body butter rich in natural emollients; and a tinted lip balm—each formulated with natural waxes, butters, and oils chosen for their unique nutritional properties for the skin and spirit.

As we melt waxes and blend nourishing oils and butters, 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 safely, blend scents and botanicals mindfully, and understand how ingredients like beeswax, soy wax, shea butter, cocoa butter, and jojoba, sweet almond, and coconut oils each bring their own texture, aroma, and skin benefits. We’ll explore how dried botanicals like lavender, rose, and chamomile can be woven into your creations for both beauty and benefit.

We’ll discuss the properties of various waxes, butters, and oils, and how different botanicals and essential oils can enhance the aesthetic, aromatic, and therapeutic qualities of each item you make. A variety of vessels, tins, and accessories (gemstones, washi tape, labels, ribbons) will be available, allowing you to personalize your creations to suit your space, style, and spirit, or to make the perfect gift.

As we allow our creations to firm up, we’ll take part in a ritual to connect with nature on the beautiful grounds of the farm, and to reflect on what the candle’s flame can inspire us to ignite within ourselves, and what it can allow us to let go of.

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—candles to melt into massage oil, butter to soothe your skin, and balm to carry with you long after the workshop ends.

Each participant will leave with one hand-poured massage candle, a body butter, and a lip balm, along with a deeper understanding of the materials and methods, and a how-to manual to take home.

WindChime

                                                                                         

 

Turn found objects into a one-of-a-kind work of art in this hands-on wind chime or wall hanging workshop. Using vintage and upcycled treasures like cookie tins, teapots, colanders, beads, keys, crystals, silverware, and more, you’ll design and build your own whimsical piece from start to finish. Choose your base, pick your hanging materials, peruse a communal collection of trinkets, then assemble it all with guidance and instruction.

More than just a craft project, this workshop is an invitation to slow down, work with your hands, and notice the beauty hidden in everyday objects.

No experience is needed— All supplies included. Just show up ready to create!

You will leave with a completed, one-of-a-kind upcycled wind chime made from vintage and found materials as well as a basic knowledge of how to select and combine materials, use simple drilling and assembly techniques, and continue creating similar projects at home using everyday objects and salvaged treasures.  Take with you lots of inspiration, design ideas, and the confidence to turn overlooked items into functional art.

Long after the workshop is over, the soft sound of the chimes can serve as a reminder of the time spent creating, slowing down, and finding beauty in the mundane.

BreatheTransform

This immersive 2-hour experience is an invitation to reconnect with one of the most powerful tools you already have: your breath.

Through a blend of breath awareness, nervous system education, movement, and guided breathing practices, participants will learn how their breath directly influences the body, emotions, and internal state.

This workshop is not about “doing the breath correctly,” but about learning how to listen to it without judgment.

Participants will explore their breathing in different body positions, observe the movement of the diaphragm and rib cage, and begin to understand their own breathing patterns, where the breath is felt, how it moves, and how it shifts with thoughts, emotions, and awareness.

By developing a deeper awareness of these patterns, participants can begin to consciously transform the way they breathe, regulate, and connect with themselves.

The experience will include:

• guided breath awareness practices
• exploration of diaphragmatic and nasal breathing
• nervous system regulation techniques
• somatic movement and grounding exercises
• moments of stillness, reflection, and reconnection
• You will leave with practical breathing tools, a deeper awareness of your own breathing patterns.
• You will take home a guided Breath Awareness booklet to support continued connection, regulation, and self-awareness beyond the workshop.

 

Kattia has a background in Physical Therapy and is a yoga and meditation teacher and founder of BreathLab & Yoga Studio, a space where science and soul come together through breathwork, movement, and nervous system awareness.

With a deep passion for mind-body connection, she guides others in reconnecting with themselves through conscious breathing, somatic awareness, and embodied practices that support regulation, grounding, and transformation.

Through her workshops and experiences, Kattia invites people to move beyond the mind, listen to the wisdom of the body, and rediscover the power of the breath as a tool for awareness, healing, and connection. While sharing these practices, she remains a humble student in the school of Earth, continuously learning through breath, movement, nature, and human connection.
