Kalo Mina Candle-Making Workshop in Agia Marina, Aegina Island, Greece

Create your own magic candle 🕯 to light up your intentions at our Kalo Mina Candle-Making Workshop

In Greece, the traditional greeting "Kalo Mina"—shared on the first day of each month—symbolises a fresh start. Rooted in the wisdom of life's cyclical nature, it's a gentle reminder that every month offers a new beginning.

At the Kalo Mina Candle-Making Workshop, we embrace this rhythm and combine it with the Aeginetan philosophy of sigá sigá, meaning "little by little." It's an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with intention.

How can Candle-Making support your growth and become magical?

As an artist, coach, and business owner, I've seen how creative rituals help bypass the mental noise and unlock our intuition. When your hands are engaged, your mind softens—and that's when clarity arrives.

This is more than just a craft. It's a ceremonial experience where you:

✨ Set your intention for the month ahead.

✨Meditate and ground yourself.

✨Channel your energy into creating a candle infused with meaning.

✨Have fun while inviting transformation.

Your finished candle becomes a daily anchor for your intention. Each time you light it, the scent and soft glow will remind your body, mind, and heart of your objective, subtly guiding you back to your path and opening your attention to seize opportunities that could help you get closer to your intent.

No sorcery—just scent, symbolism, and soul.

Is this for you?

This workshop is perfect if you're:

• Starting a new chapter or navigating change
• Managing a project and wanting to stay connected to your "why"
• Longing for a creative, grounding, and soulful experience

This is NOT for you if you're looking to use candles to influence someone else's life or energy. But you're welcome to gift them this experience so they can explore it themselves.

🔥 Good to know!

Your candle will be ready for pickup the next day (it needs 24 hours to solidify).

• If you're in Agia Marina, you'll collect it from the shop.
• If you're elsewhere on Aegina, we'll arrange a meeting point.
