RINU IS THE LIGHTWORK PRACTICE OF ALYSSA SHANAHAN, USING LIGHT AS both MATERIAL AND METAPHOR to illuminate the path inward. OFFERINGS OF BEESWAX CANDLES AND AURIC READINGS SERVE TO REKINDLE OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE NATURE WITHIN AND AROUND US.
We are not separate from nature.
Each of us is a unique expression of the same intelligence that moves through all things. And like all of nature, we evolve to reflect the light we follow.
For most of human history that light was the sun— cyclical and alive, shaping us in its image. Now life revolves around the light of screens, and we are shaped by those qualities too. Always on, cycling between charge and depletion, lacking true darkness for our necessary recalibration. Rinu is guided by the remembrance that our wellbeing is bound to our chosen cycles of illumination and reflection, offering slower and more intentional encounters with the invisible intelligence of living light.
Behind Rinu
{ Consciously Unwind }
Nothing more than wax and wick.
Every candle is made to order using ethically-gathered beeswax from local apiaries.
