An immersive candle-making & aromatherapy experience designed as a moment of care
About this Event

Step away from the noise and into a moment designed just for you.

This is more than a candle-making workshop — it’s an immersive pause where scent, light, and intention come together.

Through guided candle-making and intentional aromatherapy blending, you’ll slow your pace, engage your senses, and create pieces that support your everyday rituals. This experience is designed to feel unhurried, thoughtful, and grounding — a space where creativity becomes care.

Time softens. Hands move with purpose. And what you create becomes something personal — a reminder to return to yourself long after the moment ends.




What to Expect


This experience is intentionally paced and thoughtfully guided, allowing you to be fully present from start to finish.

You’ll be invited to:

  • Explore scent as a form of self-expression and support
  • Create a handcrafted candle infused with intention
  • Blend a personalized aromatherapy oil designed for daily use
  • Learn how scent, ritual, and routine can work together to support your well-being

Whether you arrive solo or with a friend, this experience meets you where you are — calm, curious, or simply in need of a reset.




What You’ll Create

Each guest will leave with:

  • One handcrafted candle
  • One custom aromatherapy blend
  • A deeper understanding of how to incorporate scent into everyday moments of care

Everything you create is designed to be used — not saved — as part of your daily or weekly rituals.




Who This Experience Is For

This experience is for you if you’re craving:

  • A creative outlet that feels calming, not overwhelming
  • A sensory experience that goes beyond “doing” and into being
  • Time set aside just for yourself
  • A meaningful, beautiful alternative to the usual weekend plans

No prior experience is needed — just a willingness to slow down and enjoy the process.




The Experience Includes
  • All materials for candle-making and aromatherapy blending
  • Guided instruction in a relaxed, welcoming environment
  • Thoughtful pacing and intentional design
  • Light refreshments to enjoy during the experience
  • A space created for presence, creativity, and care

Just bring yourself — everything else is provided.




An Invitation

This isn’t about perfection or productivity.
It’s about giving yourself permission to pause, create, and reconnect through scent and ritual.

If that speaks to you, we’d love to welcome you.

Reserve your spot and step into your moment of care.

The Experience, Guided With Care

This experience is thoughtfully guided by two brands known for creating intentional, sensory-driven moments — so you can relax into the process, trust the materials, and fully enjoy what you’re creating.

Hello Wellness was created for people who are ready to care for themselves differently — with products and experiences that turn everyday routines into grounding rituals. Rooted in plant-powered care and intentional design, Hello Wellness is known for creating moments that soothe the body, calm the nervous system, and invite a slower, more mindful pace.

Guests often describe Hello Wellness experiences as comforting, restorative, and surprisingly transformative — not because of what’s taught, but because of how the space is held.

BDot Candle Company brings a refined approach to fragrance and atmosphere, crafting clean-burning candles that do more than scent a room — they set a tone. Known for balancing warmth, depth, and mood, BDot Candle Company designs fragrances that feel personal, expressive, and emotionally resonant.

Whether guests are drawn to grounding, cozy notes or brighter, uplifting blends, the experience of working with scent becomes intuitive, creative, and deeply satisfying.


Agenda
How the Moment Unfolds

Info: This experience is designed to flow — not rush. Each part builds gently on the next, allowing you to stay present and enjoy the process.


We’ll begin by settling in

Info: A warm welcome, a grounding pause, and light refreshments to help you ease into the moment.


Then, we’ll move into creation.

Info: Guided candle-making and aromatherapy blending, with space to explore, ask questions, and move at a comfortable pace.


We’ll close with intention.

Info: Time to reflect, label your creations, and leave with pieces designed to support your everyday rituals.
