Workshop: Create your own cone incense.

Creating with your own hands gives you an opportunity to intimately engage with the spirit of the plant in a way that is profoundly rewarding by curating connection. Starting with asking for assistance from the spirit of the plant, then whispering your intentions into the blend, grinding, kneading, and shaping the dough, you will learn how to craft a small batch cone incense intended for clearing and purifying your self and space.
