The red rocks of Sedona have whispered ancient secrets to seekers for millennia, but it wasn't until that transformative May morning that I truly understood how my individual chakra candles were meant to work together. As the founders of JUNIPERMIST, we had already been crafting smudge candles and aligning them to individual chakras to assist in the healing of our clients. But this particular retreat would reveal how these weren't meant to be separate products at all. They were pieces of a larger puzzle, waiting for the right inspiration to show how they belonged together.

The drumbeat started just as the sun kissed the horizon goodbye, painting Sedona's red rocks in shades of amber, brick, and gold. We had gathered at Yavapai Vista for what we thought would be just another ecstatic dance session under the desert stars. Little did we know, the universe had other plans—plans that would birth our Moon Magic collection in one transcendent evening. As the first notes of the ceremonial music began to pulse through the warm desert air, something felt different. Electric.

We try to keep focused on what's important, which often manifests as earning more money, having more fun, being of service and finding our purpose. It all makes sense, and you feel like you're getting somewhere until WHAM! Your health fails. It happened to me around Christmas last year. I usually thought of myself as strong, fit, and capable. On any given day, I might ride my bike twenty miles over rocky, mountainous terrain, hunt bull elk deep in the...
Do you know what your purpose is?You are here for a reason. You are here to serve the world with your unique gifts and talents. You’re here to do work that only you can do, and in a way that only you can do it.But do you know what that work is?Why are you here?What is your calling?
