Intention Setting, Candle Making & Soundbath

 

Intention Setting, Candle Making + Soundbath

with Anika Norrgard Healing Arts + Sadye Harvey

$75

Start your year off with purpose.  In this workshop, we will begin by making and pouring a soy candle with a custom fragrance.  While our candles set, we will learn about the practice of setting intentions.  While we are bathed in the centering and meditative tones of a live sound bath, we will use a writing exercise to explore and develop powerful intentions for the year ahead.  


At the end of the session, we will have the chance to share with each other and draw inspiration from our creative community (if you would like!)


You will leave with a beautiful candle in a reusable vessel which will act as a reminder of the intentions you have set for yourself each time you light it.

All materials included, but please feel free to bring your personal journal for the writing exercise if you would like.
