About:
A beautiful combination involving nature and art! In this workshop you will learn about herbal smudge sticks and their origins, what to use them for, how to use them and what herbs to use. You will learn about the smudging process, and the folklore properties of different herbs and the steps involved in making your own. We will start with a calming mindfulness exercise, and then immerse ourselves into the process of creating your smudge sticks, finding it calming and therapeutic, taking you away from the worries of the world, being present in the moment using an assortment of locally grown organic herbs. We will then shift our focus to beautiful butterflies in nature, doing a mindfulness meditation and a simple art activity painting on a rock.
What to bring: A water bottle.
