Candle Workshop Summary

A Sensational Experience to Pause, Unwind, & Create 

Escape the busyness of everyday life and step into a cozy, hands-on experience designed to awaken your senses, inspire creativity, and create moments of calm.

The Candle Making Experience is more than a candle-making workshop—it is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the simple joy of creating something beautiful with your own hands.

Begin your experience with a brief guided breathwork meditation designed to help you pause, release the stress of the day, and become fully present before exploring the art of candle making.

Create your own luxury 8 oz candle vessel using premium vegan soy wax, 100% cotton wick, and beautifully curated fragrance oils while enjoying a relaxing atmosphere centered around creativity, connection, and intentional living.

More Than a Candle-Making Workshop

This experience is an invitation to slow down.

To breathe.
To create.

Meet Your Host: Rita Mercer
Mindset Coach, Licensed Counselor, & the host of The Daring Well Podcast 

Hello! My name is Rita Mercer, and I am the founder of Daring Well, a wellness brand focused on helping people create more intentional moments of calm, connection, and self-care in their everyday lives.

The Candle Making Experience was inspired by Rita’s belief that creativity and mindfulness can be powerful forms of self-care. This workshop blends the art of candle making with intentional moments of calm, inviting guests to slow down, awaken their senses, and create something meaningful with their own hands.

Guests will not only leave with a beautifully handcrafted luxury candle, but also with a renewed sense of connection, creativity, and the reminder that taking time for yourself is an important part of living well.

Join me for an experience designed to help you unwind, create, and reconnect.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Nope!  Not at all! The Candle Making Experience is designed for beginners. Rita will guide you through each step of the process, from selecting your fragrance to pouring your candle. No experience is needed—just come ready to relax, create, and have fun.

Because you are not just attending a candle class—you are entering a thoughtfully curated Daring Well experience led by someone who fully understands wellness, mindfulness, and intentional living.

The workshop is approximately 90 minutes and includes a welcome, guided breathwork meditation, fragrance exploration, candle-making instruction, candle creation, and candle care education.

Each guest will create their own 8 oz luxury handcrafted candle using premium vegan soy wax, premium fragrance oils, and a beautiful reusable glass vessel. You will also create a custom candle name and customize label to make your candle uniquely yours.

Guests will have the option to choose from a curated collection of premium fragrance oils designed to create beautiful, elevated scent experiences. Fragrance options will be available during the workshop.

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing. While we take precautions and provide guidance throughout the workshop, candle making involves working with hot wax and fragrance materials so it could get a bit messy.

To maintain a relaxed, elevated, and enjoyable atmosphere, participants must be 18 years of age or older.

Because soy wax requires proper cooling and curing time, candles will be available for pickup the following week at scheduled Daring Well pickup locations. Guests will receive pickup details and appointment instructions after the workshop.

For the best scent performance, we recommend allowing your candle to cure for 2–3 weeks before the first burn. This allows the soy wax and fragrance oils to fully combine and develop.

Absolutely! The Candle Making Experience is perfect for a girls’ day, birthday celebration, date experience, or simply a fun way to spend intentional time together.

Due to the preparation, planning, and custom materials required for each Candle Making Experience, all registrations are final. Transfers, exchanges, and refunds are not permitted.

This experience combines the creativity of candle making with intentional moments of mindfulness. While you will learn the art of candle making, the heart of the experience is creating space to slow down, reconnect with your true self, and enjoy a mindful moment.
