Whip Your Own Ritual: DIY Shea Butter & Body Oil Workshop

What you’ll do:

It’s a sensory self-care ritual you create with your own hands! During this guided experience, you’ll learn how to whip shea and cocoa butter into luxurious body butters while sipping, laughing, and reconnecting to ancestral practices of softness and care. We’ll explore the roots of shea and cocoa butter in West Africa, share stories of how our families turned lotion and Vaseline into love languages, and bless each jar as an act of return and renewal. All supplies are included — you just bring your energy, your curiosity, and your glow.

Why we love it for your party:

• Hands-on, meditative, and deeply grounding

• Perfect for birthdays, wellness nights, or team bonding

• Custom scents + blessings for each participant

• Keepsake jars to take home (your own handmade butta!)

• Optional bubbly service to sip while you whip
