Rinu is the candle studio and psychospiritual practice of Alyssa Shanahan, holding the remembrance that we are light, wrapped in the story of being human. Energy readings, beeswax candles and self-studies serve to keep our dialogue with light alive—inside and out.

Rituals of Light

TENDING THE TANGIBLE

TRANSLATING THE INVISIBLE

Alyssa’s lens reflects a decade of immersion in consciousness studies including Nondualism, applied mediumship, archetypal symbolism, and Human Design. Her readings meet those ready to understand themselves at the level of energy so they can navigate life with trust and clarity.

Simple materials, elevated by ritual. Every candle is made-to-order as a gateway to your downtime. May they remind you of the beauty of what is raw and nature made.

The intelligence that animates all life is already alive within you, shaping how you sense and process the world. You know it as the choices that feel intuitive, the situations or people that drain or overwhelm you, the instincts you trust, and the curious repetitive lessons life hands you. These are the expressions of a deeper design, as distinct as your fingerprint, containing your gifts, sensitivities, and the natural unfolding of your path.

Aura Readings are soul-level energy mappings that illuminate this blueprint, to provide an intimate perspective on who you are. Using Human Design and metaphysical insight, they restore energetic literacy—the capacity to understand the language of your nature so you can make aligned decisions, trust your inner signals, and stop treating what is innate as something to fix.

    These candles are absolutely stunning and have such a lovely natural beeswax fragrance. I'll be repurchasing again and again.

    Love, love, love. I was looking for beeswax votives to use in my personal altar and that would fit in an old scented votive candle holder that was used. These exceeded expectations. I was initially attracted by the local location, and then charmed by the magical crafting. The candles are wonderful. Well made, beautiful flame.

    I’ve searched for candles like these for years. Special and handmade in the best way. They ship simply with thoughtful packaging. Beautiful.

    I love these candles. They burn for a long time and smell heavenly. Why people ever started adding scents to candles is beyond me, because beeswax smells INCREDIBLE. Special shop and special candles!

    My new favorite hostess gift! High quality, thoughtful packaging and asked for a gift card that was handwritten - lovely.

A search begins for the person who senses
there must be a reason they are the way they are.
Soul work treated not as myth, but as a birthright
to shed the acquired layers of the human condition
and return to the nature we arrive with to express.
We separate the layers of instinct, conditioning, inheritance, essence.
The light of attention illuminates distortion,
transforming confusion into clarity and conscious evolution.


The self is a living experiment, realized through awareness, discovery, and practice.
