Celebrate Yule with us at our Candle-Making Workshop, guided by artist and facilitator Eugenia Rosa, on Sunday 22nd December from 1-3 PM at the Art & Spirituality Centre in Edinburgh. With her knowledge of folk traditions and ritual, Eugenia will lead you in crafting your own beeswax candles—perfect for bringing light and warmth into your home as we welcome the winter solstice. Each candle you create can be infused with your own wishes and intentions for the season, making it a truly personal addition to your holiday rituals. Why make candles for Yule? In ancient traditions, Yule marks the rebirth of the sun and the gradual return of longer days. Lighting a handmade candle symbolises calling forth new beginnings, peace, and protection during the colder months. What to Expect: Craft with Intention: Use natural beeswax and wicks to make beautifully scented candles, personalised with essential oils or symbolic colours. Relaxing & Festive Atmosphere: Embrace a cosy winter setting with other warm-hearted community members. Symbolic Touches: Feel free to bring along small items to press into your candles or attach as a keepsake, making them even more meaningful. Spaces are limited; book your spot early for a radiant start to the season at the Art & Spirituality Centre.
