The Creative Candle Jars class is a way for us to come together to handcraft a delightful scented and embellished candle.
You will learn to wick, pour, scent, and decorate an organic soy wax candle.
Once you are ready to pour, you may scent your candle from a few options such as:
◇ Fragrances:
* spice
* apple 
* pine
* bergamot ( think earl Grey tea)
* various citrus scents
There will be several items to choose from to decorate your candle with. These goodies include:
* jute twine
* epsom salt
* cinnamon sticks
* pine cones
* rose hips
* cedar, rosemary and/or fir sprigs 

 I will show you how to decorate your jar to look like snow, wrap the jute twine around the jar mouth and tie in your decorative items! 

◇ This candle making process takes about 90 minutes. It will not be entirely set by the end of class, so I will provide a bag to carry it gently home in. Allow candle to set for one - two weeks, trim wick to 1/4 inch, and burn responsibly and always within your sight. Never leave candles unattended. 

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 the use of hot wax, essential oils, and/or 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! 

◇ Saturday, February 28th
4-5:50 PM
Light snacks, tea and filtered water provided.
$48 for everything you need to create your special candle and make memories!

Lunar Archetypes

A workshop for women to connect with and learn about their Lunar Archetype. Most people are familiar with their sun sign in astrology, but few people know their moon sign! Knowing and understanding the needs, desires and drives of your lunar archetype (aka moon sign) can help you find your own special and unique brand of fulfillment and contentment.

We cannot truly find happiness, unless our moon is happy!

The workshop will involve some workbook/journaling activities as well as an art project.

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!
