Looking for the Light: Candle Making at Paddywax Candle Bar

​Join us December 10 for a retreat at The Healing Trust centered on connection, self-care, and candle-making. This retreat will be guided by Ashiya Swan with the opportunity to make a candle at Paddywax Candle Bar to take home.

​What to Expect:

• ​Opportunities for meditation, mindfulness, and reflection

• ​Peer support loosely structed by time in Circle

• ​“Me time” for rest, reading, crafting or another calm activity

• ​Candle-making at Paddywax Candle Bar with the opportunity to choose your own fragrance and vessel to take home

• ​A nourishing meal

​How to Prepare:

• ​Wear whatever you find most comfortable, being mindful that we will walk to the building next door (3-minute walk) and it will likely be chilly.

• ​Bring a book, journal, headphones, puzzle, craft project, or anything else you might like to enjoy during “me time.”

• ​Clear your calendar. Set an out of office email. Notify those who rely on you that you are retreating and will not be available.

• ​Know that everything is invitational and you are encouraged to engage with the retreat activities in whatever way feels most supportive to you. Take a moment prior to the retreat to assess what you may need to have a restful day.

​This retreat is hosted and funded by The Healing Trust as part of the Healing for the Healer program. To be eligible to attend, you must work at a nonprofit in Middle Tennessee.
