Frequently asked questions.

1. I can’t even draw a straight line. Is this workshop really for me?

Let's be clear. This has nothing to do with being “good at art.” It’s about the simple, grounding feeling of making something tangible in a world of endless digital tasks. If you can stir a coffee, you have all the prerequisite skills. We handle the technical stuff so you can just enjoy the process.

2. What makes your workshops “therapeutic,” exactly? Am I going to have to talk about my feelings?

Deep breaths. No, this isn't that kind of meeting, and there are no trust falls. The therapy is in the doing. It’s a scheduled, two-hour stop on overthinking. You will be so focused on the scent, the wax and the quiet flicker of the flame that you might just forget to check your email.

3. Why "Scent of Burnout"? Sounds a bit bleak, no?

Here is the thing: you can’t find a solution until you are brave enough to name the problem. We are not romanticizing burnout. We are acknowledging its existence so we can create its antidote: your DIY soy candle.

4. My company has a wellness budget. Can I really expense this?

Absolutely. It might just be the best use of that Q3 learning and development stipend you've ever seen. Most companies are happy to expense our workshops under "wellbeing," "mindfulness," or "stress-management training." We're happy to provide a proper receipt to make your expense claim seamless.

5. What’s the story with the golden feather?

It’s our core symbol. Think of it as a tangible reminder of lightness after heaviness. Your reward for choosing softness, creativity, and connection in a world that wants you productive and buttoned up. It’s a little golden trophy for prioritizing your peace.

6. I noticed "The Legend" candle is unscented. What's the added value there?

That’s a deliberate design choice. "The Legend" is a statement of pure light, not fragrance. It’s designed to be the ultimate centrepiece for a dinner party or a large gathering, providing magnificent ambiance without ever competing with the aroma of a shared meal. It’s also perfect for anyone with sensitivities.

7. I need a gift for my colleague who is this close to sending a company-wide resignation email. How do the gift cards work?

You mean the Burnout Pass? It’s simple and effective. You buy the pass, we send a beautifully designed email to your colleague that feels like a surprise day off. They can then browse our schedule and book whatever workshop date works for them. You look like the office hero and they get a moment to decompress. Win-win.

8. What’s the turnaround time on shipping? Are we talking next-day synergy?

We hand-pour and pack everything with care, which takes a moment. We aim to dispatch all orders within 3-5 business days. Think of it less as an urgent deliverable and more as a sustainable marathon. Good things and calm minds, take time

9. Can you bring this workshop to my office? My team is a walking fire hazard of stress.

Yes and it’s the best decision you will make all year. Our corporate workshops are the perfect way to help your team genuinely disconnect and bond over a shared, calming experience. It’s team-building that doesn’t feel like a mandatory fun day. Reach out via our contact page to discuss the logistics.

10. What exactly is in these candles?

No mystery ingredients or corporate secrets here. We use 100% natural soy wax, lead-free cotton or wooden wicks and premium fragrance and essential oils that are all vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. Clean, simple and designed with your wellbeing in mind.
