Not your typical team offsite—and that’s the point.

Most professional development feels like a checklist. This feels like a reset.

​

In our studio, the setting is low-stakes, but the patterns are real. The way people make creative choices—blend a scent, pick a vessel, pour a candle—often mirrors how they communicate, lead, and collaborate at work. No forced vulnerability. Just clear moments of insight, hiding in plain sight.

​

We didn’t design these workshops to feel like workshops. We built them to make space for stronger teams: less overthinking, more trust. Fewer scripts, better decisions.

​

It’s not about the candle. It’s about what happens while you make it.
