On May 21st, our team took time to pause, reflect, and reconnect during our quarterly CCL Staff Retreat. 💛
We are so grateful to spend intentional time with one of our own CCL members, Luna of Luna’s Enlightenment LLC, as we created DIY hand-poured candles centered on intention, restoration, and self-care. 🕯️✨
The day reminded us how important it is to pour into ourselves so we can continue pouring into others. Thank you, Luna, for helping create space for reflection, recentering, and community.
