What is the Connection Club?

The Connection Club is a short term commitment for a fun, structured aid to intentionally practice rhythms of connecting. It is an invitation to challenge yourself to invest in your relationships using our candles as a tangible token and catalyst of connection. Membership is granted upon completion of the project.

How does it work?

We've put together a package containing three exclusively designed candlesticks and four sizes of candles (celebration, convent, companion and common). Once you've received your bundle and are ready to start, you have one month to use up each candle in a specific setting to foster deeper relationships and a spirit of presence and love.

The Four Pillars

Celebration : Solitude : Intimacy : Community

  • Celebration Candles

    [Celebration]

    You'll receive a package of our 6" celebration candles to acknowledge something of honor: a birthday, passing a test, a promotion, last day of school, new job, going a month without sugar, you decide! There is so much worth celebrating.

    Did you know? Celebrating, particularly with food and drink, can increase your sense of wellbeing, social support and optimism.


  • Convent Candle

    [Solitude]

    Use our convent candle to center yourself and be intentionally present. Make a gratitude list, pray, meditate, journal, whatever you choose to set apart as sacred.

    Did you know? Meditation is shown to decrease stress, lower blood pressure and increase mental clarity.

  • Companion Candle

    [Intimacy]

    The companion candle is perfect for an intimate tête-à-tête. This connection challenge seeks to cultivate one-on-one connection. It could be with a spouse, dear friend, your child or parent, or whoever you'd like to cultivate and strengthen your relationship with by intentionally spending quality time together.

    Did you know? Eye contact can build trust and a powerful sense of connection.

  • Common Candle

    [Community]

    The candle is referred to as common due to its standard size, but there is nothing ordinary about the experience of gathering around candlelight. In fact, it can be quite magical. This challenge is to share a twinkling candlelit meal with others.

    Did you know? The more often people eat with others, the more likely they are to be happy and satisfied with their lives.

What do I get for completing the challenge?

A rich experience of connecting and celebrating.
The satisfaction of completing a worthy goal.

How do I prove that I've completed the challenge?

We don't require any proof, just email us when you've completed your goal.

Can I use the candle with different people or does it have to be the same person?

It can be multiple people, especially for the common shared meal experience. Feel free to enjoy candlelit dinners with your household and also special nights with guests.

What if it takes me longer than a month?

Sometimes you just have to take your own sweet time. If it takes you longer than a month you won't be eligible for the "rewards" but we have a feeling it will still be richly rewarding.

This still doesn't quite make sense. I have questions.
