About

Join expert beekeeper Marvin Jordana as he leads guests into the magical world of honey bees. This is an immersive, meditative evening where you will gain a deep understanding of honey bees, their role in nature, and the process of candle-making. 


In this workshop, guests will:

  • Spend time with a live observational beehive
  • Sculpt their own beeswax candles while being surrounded by candles and the smell of melting beeswax
  • Delve into the historical connection between bees and ritual practices, intertwined with the symbolism of the "Queen" or Mother Goddess.
  • Taste fresh honeycomb accompanied by herbal teas
  • Experience a meditative smoke ceremony


Due to the precious and sacred nature of pure beeswax, each participant is limited to creating two candles. Be mindful not to waste this valuable resource; any excess wax will be recycled and re-melted.

 

 

Led by Marvin Jordana

With over a decade of beekeeping experience, Marvin maintains numerous apiaries across Los Angeles, embracing beekeeping as a profound spiritual and healing practice. His approach transforms the act of beekeeping into an intentional and meditative experience, fostering a deep connection between humans and these remarkable creatures.
