Where Grievers Bloom: A Night of Community, Connection, and Remembrance

Come join us at Make & Mellow for a special evening dedicated to honoring our loved ones and finding solace in community. This event is a safe space for sharing memories, connecting with others who understand, and embracing the healing power of togetherness. Let's bloom together as we navigate through grief and celebrate the lives of those we hold dear. We invite you to join us for an evening of reflection, support, and unity.

Grief is a journey that often feels isolating — but you don’t have to walk through it alone.

🌿 What to Expect:

  • A guided candle-making workshop where you’ll create a custom candle in honor of your loved one
  • A gentle moment of silence and communal lighting ceremony
  • Soulful space for community connection and sharing, if you choose
  • Reflection prompts and affirmations to support your healing
  • Access to Beyond Goodbye: A Healing Companion journals and other grief-support resources
  • Light refreshments and soothing music throughout the evening

Come as you are — with your grief, your memories, your love. Let this be a space where you are seen, supported, and gently reminded that healing is not linear, but blooming is always possible.

Frequently asked questions

Is this event only for those who have lost a loved one to death?

Not at all. While many attendees may be grieving the loss of a loved one, this event is open to anyone navigating grief — including loss of identity, relationships, transitions, or other meaningful shifts in life. Grief wears many faces, and all are welcome.

Do I need to have any candle-making experience?

No experience is necessary! All materials and step-by-step guidance will be provided. This is a relaxed and creative space where you can make something meaningful, even if you’ve never made a candle before.

Will there be photos taken at the event?

Yes. Light photography will be used to capture the essence of the evening for future promotions. If you prefer not to be photographed, you can let us know at check-in and we’ll gladly honor your privacy.

Is this event faith-based?

This is not a religious event, but it is a spiritually sensitive space. All beliefs are welcome, and the tone of the evening is reflective, healing, and inclusive.

What does the $40 ticket include

Your ticket includes all candle-making materials, a guided experience, light refreshments, a keepsake item, and access to grief support tools and journals available on-site for additional purchase.

Will there be food?

Yes, light refreshments will be provided. If you have dietary restrictions, feel free to bring what you need for your comfort.

Can I come alone?

Absolutely. Many people attend grief support events solo, and this space is designed to be warm and welcoming. Whether you come alone or with a friend, you’ll be embraced with care.

Is this event suitable for children or teens?

This particular event is designed for adults (18+), as it centers on adult-level grief experiences and reflection. We may host future family-friendly events.
