In this special workshop, participants will create personalized candles inspired by the spirit of remembrance, connection, and renewal. Each candle becomes an offering - a symbol of light guiding the souls of our loved ones back home. You will choose from fragrances like marigold, sandalwood, rose, and vanilla - scents traditionally associated with memory and healing. Guided by the Ometepe Wellness team, you'll learn about the art of candle-making while reflecting on the meaning behind this sacred tradition.

Open to adults and families (children 8+ with adult supervision) of all artistic levels.
