Lulu and Haya Fatima welcomed us with such warmth and sincerity. It felt like stepping into a sacred space of softness and soul. Taking my mum along made it even more special; it was her first time visiting New Zealand and my little home after I’ve been away chasing work and assignments across the world.
The class was beautifully interactive, but what moved me most was the space itself. The shop is a visual and emotional sanctuary, filled with intention. I poured my heart into creating a scent to honour my fasting and prayer month and offered it to my Goddess Durga. I named my candle Shakti-a tribute to strength, grace, and the divine feminine that carries me through.
