    corporate team building with candlemaking — real case studies

    when cloudflare approached us about a team-building experience for their los angeles office, we knew we had an opportunity to show what nu los angeles could really do.

    the cloudflare experience

    forty engineers gathered around tables filled with coconut wax, concrete vessels, and vials of our signature scents. for two hours, screens were off, hands were busy, and conversations flowed naturally. the feedback was unanimous: it was the best team event they had ever attended.

    why candlemaking works for teams

    traditional team-building activities often feel forced — trust falls, escape rooms, corporate trivia. candlemaking is different because it is genuinely creative, deeply tactile, and produces something beautiful to take home.

    our experience naturally encourages: - collaboration (sharing materials, discussing scent choices) - mindfulness (the meditative process of measuring, melting, pouring) - individual expression (each person creates something unique) - shared accomplishment (everyone leaves with a handmade candle)

    the fabletics partnership

    for fabletics, we designed a custom brand-scented candle experience. each participant created a candle using a signature fragrance we developed specifically for their brand identity. the candles later became gifts for their VIP customers.

    scaling for any group

    we accommodate 10 to 40 participants per session, and for larger events, we coordinate multiple sessions or bring additional instructors. whether it is an intimate executive retreat or a full-company offsite, we tailor the experience to your team.
