Explore circular candles and mindfulness in this candle-making workshop using locally-sourced soy wax.
There are so many reasons to choose a soy wax candle. Unlike a majority of mass produced candles, which use the petroleum-based ingredient, paraffin, wax made from soy is environmentally-friendly as soy is a renewable resource.
Soy wax also does not emit soot or smoke so it is better for one's health and home. On top of this, because of its low melting point, candles made from soy wax burns slower and more gradually than paraffin wax, giving your home a relaxed atmosphere for a longer time.
In this workshop, we welcome participants to bring dried flowers, old coffee beans, etc., and put them into candles to breathe new life into them. Making a pure white candle can also create an opportunity to face your heart with meaning and intention.

Why soy wax?
Unlike most candles in the market, which use the toxic and petroleum-based ingredient known as paraffin, soy is an environmentally-friendly, renewable resource.
Soy wax is also better for one’s health and home, as it does not emit soot or smoke. On top of this, because of its low melting point, soy burns slower and more gradually than paraffin wax, and can give your home a relaxed atmosphere for a longer time.
In this workshop, we welcome participants to breath new life into their old dried flowers, stale coffee beans, etc., by adding them into their own DIY soy candles.

Dried flowers that you have displayed at home and plan to throw away, coffee beans that have oxidized and are no longer usable, and more can be given new value through this DIY soy candle-making workshop. Customize the color, texture and overall appearance of your candle while practicing a circularity driven lifestyle.
A pure white candle with no added scent serves to create an intentionally blank space in one’s mind. In facing oneself sincerely, we break free from fixed ideas about how things ought to be while connecting to a greater understanding of ourselves and others.
While we put dried flowers and other memories into the candles, let’s explore circularity not only through materials and physically processes, but also through our thoughts and emotions.
