Moments

before the chapter

Some chapters don’t begin loudly.

They begin as moments.

A quiet knowing.
A pause.
Something held close.

The Moments are small ritual candles created to honor the experiences that arrive before a chapter is named — when something is felt, but not yet understood.

They are not conclusions.
They are recognition.

WHAT IS A MOMENT?

A moment is how a chapter first enters your life.

It may pass quietly.
It may stay with you.
It may return again and again.

Moments don’t ask for permanence.
They don’t demand meaning right away.

They simply ask to be noticed.

When a moment stays, it becomes part of a chapter.

THE MOMENTS COLLECTION

Each Chapter Mini is hand-poured into a minimalist vessel and marked with a single symbolic form — representing one universal moment many of us experience before change, becoming, or transition.

The vessel is intentionally unbranded.
The language lives on the card.
The meaning lives with you.

✦ the star

the quiet knowing

The moment you sense something has begun —
before there is proof, before there are words.

Often felt before pregnancy, purpose, or a calling takes shape.

◐ the pause

the waiting

The space between what was and what will be.
Stillness. Uncertainty. Becoming.

Often lived during waiting, healing, or transition.

❍ the holding

the protecting

The instinct to guard something fragile.
Love kept close.
Care without certainty.

Often felt before birth, commitment, or loss.

✿ the bloom

the becoming visible

The moment something opens outward.
Arrival. Emergence. Recognition.

Often experienced when a chapter begins to show itself to the world.

☾ the return

the coming back to self

Integration after change.
Finding yourself again — different, but whole.

Often felt during postpartum, healing, or renewal.

⌂ the threshold

the crossing

Standing between what was and what comes next.
A line crossed. A door opened.

Often marks the entry into a new chapter.

HOW THE MOMENTS CONNECT TO YOUR STORI

Moments are not chapters.
They are what chapters are made of.

Some moments pass quietly.
Others stay.

When a moment stays, it may one day be archived as a chapter in the Stori Archive, and marked with a Chapter Disc — a permanent record of what this season became.

The Moments do not ask you to decide.
They simply meet you where you are.

HOW TO USE A MOMENT

There is no right way.

Light the candle.
Read the card.
Sit with what it brings up.

Let the symbol soften, remain, or disappear —
each is part of the ritual.

When you’re ready, the story will continue.
