To Our Beloved Community,

From the first flicker of our flame to the warm glow that fills your space, our candles are more than wax and wicks, they are a tribute, a remembrance, and a prayer carried by fire.

We built this company not just to create light, but to honor the land, the elements, and the enduring spirit of the Chumash people. Long before city lights touched this coastline, the Chumash kindled flames for ceremony, for guidance, for storytelling under the stars. Their wisdom rooted in respect for the earth, the ocean, and all living things continues to inspire our craft.

Every candle we pour carries this reverence. We choose natural, sustainable ingredients, just as the Chumash lived in harmony with the gifts of the land. We blend our scents with intention, drawing inspiration from native plants, species and Chumash heritage to evoke the sacred landscapes they walked. With every light of the wick, we invite you to pause, breathe, and remember.

Thank you for bringing our candles into your home. With each flame, may you feel the warmth of tradition, the strength of ancestors, and the beauty of a story still being told.

With gratitude,

‘aqniyəwus
