We support PEOPLE, PLANET and POLLINATORS. From beeswax candles to our herbal honey remedies, we hope to help everyone cultivate a more meaningful relationship with our planet. A percentage of our sales go to our Bee Sisters in East Africa, helping support income generation for women beekeepers and their families.
My name is Moni - I am an artist and beekeeper and your host for this wonderfully grounding workshop. Over the past 10 years, my journey with the bees has profoundly shaped my creative process and greatly inspired my botanical creations, allowing me to explore the magical and alchemical potential of beeswax as a powerful, transformative, earth-infused medium. Beeswax holds a powerful connection to our planet and our pollinator friends and in this candlestick making workshop I hope to share the experience of beeswax alchemy.
