Mystic Sticks: A Hand-Rolled Incense Making Workshop

Step into an immersive, intention-centered experience where you’ll craft your own hand-rolled incense using all-natural, botanical ingredients. This beginner-friendly workshop teaches you how to blend aromatic plants and resins, prepare natural binders, and roll your incense onto bamboo sticks—no synthetics, no fillers, just pure plant magic.

But this isn’t just a craft class.

In this special 2025 edition of the workshop, you’ll create a “Future Flame” incense stick—a personal time capsule for the year ahead. You’ll choose a goal, hope, or intention for 2026, and build one of your incense sticks specifically around it. Through scent, symbolism, and guided prompts, you’ll create an incense stick designed to be burned at a meaningful moment next year: the new year, a birthday, a full moon, a milestone, or a moment of your choosing.

This time capsule element transforms your incense into a tool for reflection, alignment, and purposeful creation—something you’ll look forward to lighting when the time is right.

Each guest will:
• Craft three hand-rolled incense sticks
• Build one special 2026 Intention/Time Capsule incense stick
• Work with natural materials like makko, resins, spices, and botanicals
• Choose their own scent combinations based on purpose and energy
• Explore how herbs, woods, and resins burn and what they symbolize
• Receive a recipe card + intention card to take home
• Learn sustainable sourcing, safety, and drying methods

This class is hands-on, sensory, and designed for anyone who wants to create with meaning. You’ll leave with three beautiful incense sticks and one powerful ritual tool for your year ahead.
