The 9 Collective
3043 Columbia Avenue, Lancaster, United States
Craft locally grown herbs (many from her own garden) into your own all-natural incense for smoke cleansing or just to make your space smell gorgeous. Your personalized scents can enhance meditation, relaxation, yoga, or spiritual practice.
Learn more about sacred smoke from herbs, flowers, and resins, and explore their practical, historical, and spiritual uses. Rissa will offer an overview on cultural uses of white sage, palo santo, and pinon use for "smudging and saging," and alternatives.
She will discuss combining herbs into incense, safe handling techniques, and connecting to the plant world as a creative medium. All supplies, dried herbs & spices, incense medium, and maple syrup will be provided, as well as a written overview of the plants used and basic formula instructions, so you can keep crafting natural incense at home.
All students will leave with a batch of their own handmade incense. Great for gifts, too and all the winter holidays are coming up!
