This is not a hobby workshop.
This is a serious, focused, two-day business intensive designed to take you from idea to launch with clarity, confidence, and a viable candle business you can actually earn from.

The 2-Day 1:1 Candle Business Intensive is a private, in-depth mentoring experience with Rock & Rose Rituals founder Lisa Marie. Across two full days, six hours per day, 10am to 4pm or 11am to 5pm you will be guided through every practical, creative, and commercial element required to build, price, and launch your own candle brand.

This is for you if you are done dabbling, done guessing, and ready to turn candle making into a profitable, well-structured business.

The intensive can be taken at Lisa Marie’s studio in Upton Country Park, Dorset, or she can travel to you.

Investment
£2,500 for the 2-day intensive at the Rock & Rose Rituals studio
£3,500 for the 2-day intensive delivered in your own space, plus milage at £1.25 per mile.

You will learn directly from someone who has done it properly.

Rock & Rose Rituals creates luxury, natural scented candles sold directly to customers and also produces own-brand candles for high-end luxury businesses. This intensive is built from real experience: product testing, mistakes made and corrected, systems refined, and a brand grown from scratch into a commercially successful operation.

Nothing here is vague. Nothing is theoretical.

Structure and setting

Two consecutive days.
Six hours per day.
Fully 1:1 and tailored to your goals, budget, and vision.

If you attend in Dorset, the studio is nestled among the trees at Upton Country Park, minutes from the sea. The environment is calm, grounded, and ideal for clear thinking and focused creation. This matters more than you think when you are making foundational business decisions.

What you will master

First, candle making done properly.

You will work hands-on with natural waxes, wicks, vessels, and fragrances. You will learn how to formulate candles that burn cleanly, smell beautiful, and perform consistently. This includes scent selection, blend ratios, wick pairing, jar choice, and finish quality so your product feels and performs like a premium candle, not a craft-market experiment.

Second, troubleshooting with confidence.

Most candle businesses fail quietly at this stage. Poor burn, weak scent throw, tunnelling, frosting, inconsistency batch to batch. You will learn how to diagnose and fix these issues, not guess your way through them. By the end, you will know how to test properly and how to trust your results.

Third, testing systems and compliance.

You will be guided through proper testing methodology, safety requirements, and documentation so you can trade confidently. Legal compliance is covered clearly and practically, without overwhelm, so you know exactly what is required and why.

Fourth, pricing for profit, not burnout.

You will break down your real costs: materials, time, packaging, overheads, and margin. Together, you will set pricing that makes sense commercially and energetically, so your business can grow rather than drain you.

Fifth, suppliers and sourcing.

You will receive a curated list of trusted suppliers for waxes, fragrances, jars, packaging, and labelling. No endless internet searching. No wasting money on poor materials. You start with solid foundations.

Sixth, branding that actually sells.

This is not about a pretty logo alone. You will define your brand positioning, ideal customer, aesthetic direction, and product range so everything feels coherent and intentional. You will leave knowing how to present your candles as a luxury product people want to buy.

Seventh, marketing and launch strategy.

You will cover practical marketing that works now: how to sell online and in person, how to price for wholesale or own-brand work, how to talk about your candles without sounding like everyone else, and how to launch without waiting for “perfect”.

Eighth, CRM and simple systems.

You will be shown how to organise orders, customers, stock, and repeat sales using clear, manageable systems. This is about freeing your time, not creating complexity.

The unseen value

You are not only learning how to make candles. You are learning how to step into self-employment with structure and confidence.

Lisa Marie also shares the realities of leaving one life and building another. From running a high-pressure catering company in London to walking away, living simply, and rebuilding a business aligned with nature, creativity, and financial sustainability. This perspective matters when you are taking a leap of your own.

Many people can teach you how to pour wax. Very few can show you how to build a business around it that supports your life rather than consuming it.

Who this intensive is for

This is for people who are ready to commit.
Ready to invest.
Ready to stop circling ideas and start building something real.

If you are looking for shortcuts, cheap templates, or a casual day out, this is not for you. If you want clarity, confidence, and a clear path to launching your own candle brand, this intensive will save you years of trial and expensive mistakes.

Two days.
Clear foundations.
A business you can grow.

2 days, 10am to 4pm
