Rinu is the candle studio and practice of Alyssa Shanahan, exploring our relationship to light through material and energetic forms. Beeswax candles and Human Design readings serve to keep us connected to natural light, within and without.
THE NATURE OF LIGHTWORK
We are not separate from nature.
Each of us is a unique expression of the same intelligence that moves through all things. And like all of nature, we evolve to reflect the light we revolve around.
For most of human history that was the sun— cyclical and alive, and shaping us in its image. Now we revolve around screens, and we are shaped by those too. Always on, cycling between charge and depletion, lacking true darkness for our necessary recalibration. Rinu is guided by the remembrance that our wellbeing is bound to our chosen cycles of illumination and reflection, offering slower and more intentional encounters with the invisible intelligence of living light.
Simplicity, elevated by ritual.
Every candle is made to order using ethically-gathered beeswax from local apiaries. Nothing more than wax and wick.
