Amara Wells Candle Workshops – Find Your Calm with Hand-Poured Candles

✨ Find Your Calm: Introducing Amara Wells Candle Workshops

At Amara Wells, calm isn’t just a feeling — it’s something we create, share, and give back.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce the launch of our Pocket of Calm Candle Workshops: gentle, sensory sessions designed to help people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and craft something truly meaningful.

These workshops are beginning locally in Aberdeenshire, in partnership with wonderful community spaces like The Vinery, Banff — with more locations to come as we grow.


🌿 Why Candle Workshops? The Heart Behind the Idea

Amara Wells was born from a simple but powerful purpose:
to help even one person find calm when life feels heavy.

Creating a candle is a grounding ritual — a chance to pause, breathe, and work with your hands. Each stir, each scent, each quiet moment becomes a small act of self-care.

These workshops bring that purpose to life.

They allow people to:

  • slow the mind
  • connect with calm
  • enjoy a mindful creative experience
  • take home something beautiful they made themselves

And every workshop supports our “Calm That Gives Back” initiative, contributing to wellbeing charities through Work for Good.


🕯️ The Three Signature Scents

Guests can choose from the Amara Wells calm-wellness blends — each one created to support a different emotional space.

1. Calm

Soft, grounding, and restorative.
Perfect for moments when life feels overstimulating and you need gentle stillness.

2. Relax & Unwind

A soothing blend that helps melt away tension.
Ideal for evening rituals or calming a busy mind.

3. Refresh & Focus

Light, uplifting, and bright.
Wonderful for mornings, study time, or setting a refreshed mindset.

Each fragrance is blended with care, using quality Nikura oils, and tested in our soy wax for a smooth, clean burn.


🎄 Seasonal Workshops

For Christmas events we also offer festive scents such as:

  • Snowberry
  • Gingerbread
  • Christmas Pudding

Calm & Candle Hen Party Experience

A beautiful, modern alternative to noisy nights out — a gentle, elegant way to celebrate.
This experience includes:

  • Pouring a 30cl luxury soy candle in one of your three signature scents
  • Custom “Bride Tribe” or personalised labels
  • A short gratitude or “well-wishes for the bride” reflection
  • A calm, cosy atmosphere with soft music, treats, and optional fizz
  • A luxury gift bag for each guest

Perfect for small groups looking for something meaningful, fun, and memorable.

Girly Night In: Candle & Calm Evening

For friendship groups, birthdays, or just a cosy night together.
This workshop includes:

Calm & Creative Baby Shower Candle Afternoon

A soft, gentle pre-baby celebration.

  • Each guest pours a candle
  • Soft pastel labels
  • Optional “Messages for Baby” cards
  • A little grounding moment focused on love and support for Mum

Beautiful for The Vinery or local cafés.

Pocket of Calm Seasonal Workshops

These rotate through the year

  • Spring Reset Candle Workshop (fresh, cleansing scents)
  • Summer Slow Living Candle Session
  • Autumn  Candle Evening
  • Christmas Calm Workshop (already launched!)

Corporate Calm & Candle Wellness Session

Shorter (45–60 min) sessions for workplaces focusing on:

  • Stress reduction
  • Small rituals for busy teams
  • Allowing each team member to pour a small candle to keep at their desk

Perfect for HR wellness budgets.

Mother & Daughter Calm Evening

A bonding workshop where pairs create candles together and share a quiet reflection moment.
Soft tea lights, gentle music, and a little “pocket of calm” takeaway pack.

What Guests Will Do & Receive

Every participant will:
✔ Learn the full candle-making process using natural soy wax
✔ Hand-pour their own luxury 30cl candle
✔ Choose their favourite scent
✔ Label the jar with a handwritten calm affirmation
✔ Complete a mini “Pocket of Calm” reflection journal
✔ Enjoy a peaceful, guided moment of mindfulness
✔ Leave with a candle that feels personal, intentional, and meaningful

Candles will need to cure for 24–48 hours, but guests label their jars on the day so they can collect them later.


🌱 Who Are These Workshops For?

These calm sessions are perfect for:

  • small groups
  • wellbeing organisations
  • community groups
  • friends’ gatherings
  • charity events
  • workplace wellbeing days
  • anyone needing a gentle pocket of calm

At the moment, workshops are available locally in Aberdeenshire, as candle-making requires in-person equipment and safety handling. But in the future, we hope to explore online calm sessions, journaling workshops, and DIY kits.


💚 Giving Back Through Calm

A percentage of workshop donations supports wellness charities including CALM and Mind, via our Work For Good partnership.

So every candle poured helps someone else find calm too.
