In April of 2025, in collaboration with Kavana of Alchemy, we hosted Wick + Wellness—an intentional gathering that combined a hands-on candle-making workshop with a thoughtfully curated community discussion centered on the importance of healthy self-care practices. Participants were invited to slow down, create with intention, and engage in meaningful conversation around what self-care looks like beyond the surface, emphasizing sustainability, boundaries, and collective well-being.
