Hi, I’m Sharona, the creator behind Moonbeam Theory.
For the past six years I’ve been creating intention-based ritual candles, using vegan soy wax, as a way to explore grounding, mindfulness, and intentional living.
What began as a personal practice slowly became something I now share with others: the idea that even the smallest everyday moments can become opportunities to slow down, reconnect, and create more presence in our lives.
For me, candles are a simple ritual of return. They invite us to pause, soften, and come back to ourselves, even in the middle of busy daily life.
This workshop was created as a shared creative experience to slow down, work with your hands, and create something meaningful through intention and presence.
The experience takes place at O Café do Armazém in Lisbon, a warm and atmospheric café bar setting. You’ll be welcomed with a drink of your choice on the house before we begin.
Together, we’ll move through intention setting, crystal symbolism, and hands-on candle creation using a signature Moonbeam Theory scent. You’ll choose your vessel and be guided step by step in creating a vegan soy wax candle aligned with your personal intention and aesthetic.
You will also leave with a small curated crystal gift pouch, a keepsake from the experience and a quiet reminder of the time shared together.

More about your Teacher Sharona
Hi :)
I’m Sharona, the creator behind Moonbeam Theory.
I’m originally from New York, and after spending time in Paris, I’ve been based in Lisbon for the past year. Moving here felt like a natural shift toward a slower rhythm of life, closer to nature and the ocean.
I’ve been making vegan soy wax ritual candles for the past six years, inspired by the idea that everyday moments can become opportunities for presence, grounding, and intentional living.
Before creating Moonbeam Theory, I was drawn to creative work and the emotional power of shared experiences. Hosting workshops became a natural extension of that . It's a way to bring people together in a calm, creative space where they can slow down and reconnect through making something by hand.
My work is rooted in simplicity, intention, and the belief that small rituals can quietly transform the way we move through daily life.
I'd love to share this experience with you. ♡
