Creative Candle Making Class
Dec
18

Creative Candle Making Class

The Creative Candle Tin class is a way for us to come together to handcraft a delightful scented and embellished candle.
You will learn to wick, pour and decorate an 8 oz. soy wax candle tin.
Once you are ready to pour, you may scent your candle from a few options such as:
◇ Various essential oils
◇ Fragrances:
* spice
* apple
* pine
There will be several items to choose from to decorate your candle with. These goodies include:
* star anise
* cinnamon sticks
* cloves
* dehydrated orange slices
* crystal chips ( 3 per person)
* cedar and/or fir sprigs
Once your candle is firm enough, you can sprinkle and/or embed these aromatic adornments into your unique candle.
These Creative Candle Tins will make a great gift for yourself or a loved one!

◇ This candle making process takes about 90 minutes. You will be able to pick-up your candle at my studio in town on Guard Street, or another agreed upon place, by appointment only.

Adult class 18+
This is a group class for 6-10 people. If you're interested in a private candle making party, please contact me at Helen@lightworksstudios.com

Candle making involves t
he use of hot wax, essential oils, and fragrance oils. While everything we work with is non-toxic it does have an intended use and should be used with caution and care. Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting soiled/waxy. Please no open toed shoes or long flowing sleeves, skirts, or other garments. Safety first!

◇ Thursday, December 18th
530-715 PM
Light snacks, tea and filtered water provided

This sacred sound bath immersion is dedicated to our ancestors.

The remainder of our time will be shared over a snack and chit chat, sharing about our ancestors and our own lives! We honor those who came before us.


Please bring whatever you want to make you the most comfortable for an hour of laying or sitting on the floor. A mat, blanket, and eye mask are recommended.

The particulars:
Please bring a thick mat/lounge chair pad and a warm blanket so that you will be cozy on the floor for the duration. You may arrive up to 5 minutes before the start time to get settled in, but please no sooner. Bringing an open heart and mind with intentions to have a sweet experience will set the tone before you arrive.

During the 90 minute event, you will receive a brief introduction and setting the space before getting settled in, a short guided meditative journey and then the sounds begin. The sound experience itself is about an hour or so. Afterwards you are invited to enjoy tea, water and a healthy snack while chatting with me and your fellows, creating community. If you don't wish to socialize, you may slip away quietly.


How might I feel during and after the sound journey?
Individual experiences will vary. Most people find that they slip into a meditative state, feel deeply relaxed, release tensions and some even fall asleep. After, you may feel energized, sleepy or even emotional. It really depends on your energy and where you are in your life in the days leading up to a sound bath. However you may feel afterward, simply honor it. Rest if you feel tired, enjoy some silence if you feel called to, hydrate plenty, and refuel your body with fresh foods.

Etiquette
Please be aware that you will be in close quarters with other sound bathers. This event is held upstairs, if you require special accommodations, please reach out to me directly. This space is intended to be still and restful so that you and your fellows can sink deeply into a healing zone. Please use the bathroom before the start of the bath, be mindful of your own space and of the individuals around you so that everyone can receive the wellness that they seek from these sound healing journeys. Thank you for helping create an amazing experience.

I look forward to seeing you there!

$40 investment for 90 minutes of beauty. I am experimenting with lower price points for accessibility! Please take advantage of this!

Fire Cider Crafting with Pearl Schuman of Native Zest

Lets make Fire Cider together!

Homemade Fire Cider is great for improving digestion, building immunity, and keeping you and your loved ones well through the seasons.


Fire Cider is a tonic with deep roots in folk medicine that was brought to popularity by the American herbalist and author, Rosemary Gladstar. Fire cider has been consumed traditionally to ward off sore throats, colds, flu, chest congestion, and to promote circulation; which ignites a fire inside and aides the body in detoxification.


We use Apple Cider Vinegar (with Mother) as the base, then add warming, immune and circulatory enhancing, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral foods, and herbs. With time the medicinal properties are extracted into the vinegar.


We will learn the benefits of each ingredient offered, applications and how to make your own Fire Cider at home. All ingredients are included.

Fire Cider is a tonic with deep roots in folk medicine that was brought to popularity by the American herbalist and author, Rosemary Gladstar. Fire cider has been consumed traditionally to ward off sore throats, colds, flu, chest congestion, and to promote circulation; which ignites a fire inside and aides the body in detoxification.


We use Apple Cider Vinegar (with Mother) as the base, then add warming, immune and circulatory enhancing, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral foods, and herbs. With time the medicinal properties are extracted into the vinegar.


We will learn the benefits of each ingredient offered, applications and how to make your own Fire Cider at home. All ingredients are included.

New Moon Sound Bath
Jun

New Moon Sound Bath

New Moon Sound Healing Bath

Wednesday, June 25th

6-7:30 PM at Luminous Gallery

Upstairs in the Cannery Landing building next to the ferry

Come and sink into the resonant frequencies of the Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls. This vibrational journey experience will float you into an altered state of consciousness. In this space you are open to many positively powerful influences. This session is a deep immersion into recalibration and creates higher cohesiveness. Please join us for this transformative soundscape.

The particulars:
Please bring a thick mat/lounge chair pad and a warm blanket so that you will be cozy on the floor for the duration. You may arrive up to 5 minutes before the start time to get settled in, but please no sooner. Bringing an open heart and mind with intentions to have a sweet experience will set the tone before you arrive.

During the 90 minute event, you will receive a brief introduction and setting the space before getting settled in, a short guided meditative journey and then the sounds begin. The sound experience itself is about an hour or so. Afterwards you are invited to enjoy tea, water and a healthy snack while chatting with me and your fellows, creating community. If you don't wish to socialize, you may slip away quietly.


How might I feel during and after the sound journey?
Individual experiences will vary. Most people find that they slip into a meditative state, feel deeply relaxed, release tensions and some even fall asleep. After, you may feel energized, sleepy or even emotional. It really depends on your energy and where you are in your life in the days leading up to a sound bath. However you may feel afterward, simply honor it. Rest if you feel tired, enjoy some silence if you feel called to, hydrate plenty, and refuel your body with fresh foods.

Etiquette
Please be aware that you will be in close quarters with other sound bathers. This event is held upstairs, if you require special accommodations, please reach out to me directly. This space is intended to be still and restful so that you and your fellows can sink deeply into a healing zone. Please use the bathroom before the start of the bath, be mindful of your own space and of the individuals around you so that everyone can receive the wellness that they seek from these sound healing journeys. Thank you for helping create an amazing experience.

I look forward to seeing you there!

$30 investment for 90 minutes of beauty. I am experimenting with lower price points for accessibility! Please take advantage of this!

Blessings, Helen
