welcome to moving grief x affirmation candle-making ritual!
join us at the candle creation bar for a special event where we will come together to honor our grief through movement and find strength through affirmation + candle making.
w. leslie/ she will intentionally guide you through the mindful process of making a plant-based, scented soy candle while reflecting on your emotions through writing prompts and setting intentions for healing.
w. august /our bodies physically grip, clench, and hold onto emotions when we haven't had time, space, or resources to process. in this movement piece, we'll spend 60 minutes gently unsticking the body using movement of the mind, body, and breath to free up some space to feel. we'll stir things up to settle into ourselves with more compassion. there will be optional space to share at the end with the intention to see one another in the loneliness that grief so heavily casts.
let's create a safe space of love and support as we navigate through our feelings and embrace the power of movement, affirmation + candlelight.
see you there.
what to bring:
yoga mat
blanket
water bottle
a mug for tea

about leslie moore (she/her)
the candle creation bar was born out of the COVID era in 2020. globally, 2020 was a challenging year for many of us and I thought, let’s just put on our masks and learn how to have some fun again.
as the year got harder, more isolating, and heartbreaking; grieving, healing and connection were needed more than ever.
the candle creation bar prospered from the deep knowing that we needed a safe, healing, connected space to create and have a good time. the self-crafted "I am" statements that pair with your candle creation are my way of empowering others to open up the doors to their healing journeys and connect with their deeper needs.
