Come create a unique scented tribute to one you have lost and hold close in your heart. Guests are invited to bring a photograph, small object, or meaningful symbol of their loved one to contribute to a shared remembrance altar or “ofrenda” for the evening. We’ll begin by taking a few moments together to create the altar and reflect on the people we’re carrying with us. We will be guided by Arlene Stepputat, end-of- life doula, to create this safe and sacred space.
From there, each guest will create a custom candle in memory of their loved one, choosing and blending a fragrance that feels meaningful to them.
After blending and pouring our candles, we’ll gather for a simple closing ritual and toast in honor of all we carry in our hearts.
This small, inclusive gathering is designed to feel tender, welcoming, and supportive, offering confidential space for reflection and connection without any expectation to share more than feels comfortable. Stories, silence, tears and laughter are all welcome.
Approximately 90 minutes. Light refreshments will be served.
