Roots & Rituals: Smoke Signals

A hands-on workshop exploring herbal smoking blends for clarity, calm, and connection
📅 Wednesday, July 24
🕕 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Urbandale Farm, 705 S. Hayford Avenue, Lansing, MI 48912

🌬️ What to Expect
Join us in the garden for a gentle, judgment-free exploration of herbal smoking blends—a traditional way to connect with plants for breath, ritual, and relaxation. This experience is about intentional, non-intoxicating use of herbs that support the respiratory system, calm the nervous system, and offer a smoke-free alternative to commercial tobacco.
You’ll smell, touch, and learn about various herbs, then blend your own to take home or enjoy in community.
