What we’re about
Our Purpose: We believe that how we spend our time matters. Glo Candle Bar Co. creates sanctuaries across Toronto, using the craft of candle making as a vehicle for stillness, intuition, and genuine connection. We don't just gather to make a product; we gather to "reset" our senses and reclaim a moment of calm in a busy city.
The Experience: A Curated Journey. Every session is designed with intention, focusing on the atmosphere as much as the craft. We move beyond the typical DIY class by focusing on:
Intimacy by Design: We intentionally cap our circles at 12 guests. This small group size ensures the energy remains peaceful and allows for genuine connection between everyone in the room.
The Threshold: From the moment you arrive, the outside world fades. We begin with a guided "blind scent selection," where you choose fragrances based on your intuition and how they make you feel, rather than by a label.
The Ritual: Hand-pouring your 9oz coconut-soy candle with a crackling wood wick is a meditative act. It is a slow, intentional process that rewards your focus.
The Connection: While candles set, we transition into a luxury tea service and warm eucalyptus towel ritual — a dedicated space for quiet reflection or meaningful conversation.
Our Philosophy We act as "Friendly Professionals" who believe a host’s role is to protect the energy of the space. Whether we are popping up at a local Community Centre or a local boutique studio, the environment is curated to be safe, high-end, and deeply relaxing.
Who Should Join?
Those seeking a "Third Space" that nourishes the soul and the senses.
People who value the ritual of scent and the story behind the objects in their home.
Anyone looking to meet their Toronto neighbours through shared creativity and intentionality.
Note on Participation: To honour the high-quality materials prepared for your sensory kit and the intimacy of our small circles, we utilize a 50/50 deposit system via our website. Your RSVP here lets us know you're interested, but your seat is officially secured once your deposit is settled.
Come for the candle. Stay for the calm. Let’s glow together.

The Sensory Reset: An Intimate Candle-Making & Mindfulness Experience
PARKWAY FOREST COMMUNITY CENTRE, 55 Forest Manor Road, North York, ON, CAWelcome to our first gathering.

- The Venue: Our inaugural session takes place within the Parkway Forest Community Centre. While we pop up in various locations throughout the city, we have curated this space to serve as a peaceful environment for our session.
