Mauri Ora DIY Candle Kit
Create Your Own Glow: The Mauri Ora DIY Experience
A journey of mindfulness, scent, and self-connection in every box.
Our Mauri Ora DIY Box is an invitation to slow down and reconnect. Designed as a form of "creative therapy," this kit allows you to hand-pour two of your very own candles while infusing them with your own energy and intentions.
Whether you’re gifting this to a loved one or carving out a moment of peace for yourself, the Mauri Ora kit brings the signature ManaakiWāhine experience into your home.
What’s Inside Your Box:
Signature Scent: Our beloved ManaGlow blend—a refreshing, uplifting fusion of lime and grapefruit.
Natural Base: High-quality coconut wax for a clean, sustainable, and long-lasting burn.
Two Candle Vessels: Everything you need to create two beautiful finished pieces.
Tiger’s Eye Crystals: Comes with a special pouch of Tiger’s Eye. Use them to top your candles for grounding energy, or keep them in the pouch as a personal taonga (treasure).
The "Secret Affirmation" Ritual: Includes a DIY Butterfly Card. Write down your intentions or a hidden message to keep close while you create.
Extra Manaaki: Includes a beautiful Moko Kauae sticker and all necessary safety and warning labels to ensure your creations are professional and safe.
Why "Mauri Ora"?
In Te Ao Māori, Mauri Ora refers to the spark of life and wellbeing. We created this kit to help you spark your own creativity and find a moment of calm in a busy world.

The Cycle of Mauri Ora: A Refill Ritual
"At ManaakiWāhine, we believe that nothing is truly ever finished—it is simply waiting to be renewed."
Our candles are designed to bring light and healing into your home, but once the flame reaches the bottom, the journey doesn’t have to end. The ManaGlow Refill Ritual is an invitation to pause, clear away the old energy, and pour fresh intention back into your space.
The Ritual Steps:
1. To Cleanse (Te Whakawātea)
Gently warm your glass jars to remove the remaining wax. As you wipe the glass clean, imagine you are clearing away the clutter of the past weeks. Wash the jar in warm, soapy water—preparing the vessel to hold something new.
2. To Ground (Te Whakatau)
Place your new wick and sticker in the center of the clean jar. As you press it down, take a deep breath. This wick is the heart of your candle; let it represent your own strength and steady center.
3. To Infuse (Te Whakauru)
As you melt your coconut wax and stir in the ManaGlow lime and grapefruit oils, focus on the scent. Let the citrus notes lift your spirit. This is the "mauri" (the life force) returning to your vessel.
4. To Set (Te Whakau)
Carefully pour the wax. As it cools and turns from clear to white, set a new intention for your home. Peace? Strength? Growth? Allow the candle to sit undisturbed, just as we sometimes need to sit in stillness to find our own balance.
Why We Refill
Refilling is our way of practicing Kaitiakitanga (guardianship of the land). By reusing your beautiful jars, you are honoring the earth and ensuring that the cycle of healing continues without waste.
"Fill your jar. Feed your soul. Renew your light."
