Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed into a small-group workshop where you'll discover the traditional art of crafting natural incense by hand. We'll begin with an introduction to the botanical ingredients, including pine resin, aromatic herbs, flowers, and natural plant powders. You'll learn why each ingredient is used and how they work together to create beautiful, naturally scented incense without synthetic fragrances or charcoal. Next, you'll blend your own incense mixture, add natural binders, and experience the hands-on process of kneading, rolling, and shaping your incense sticks completely from scratch. Throughout the workshop, you'll receive personal guidance and learn techniques you can continue using at homé. While your incense begins to dry, we'll discuss the history of natural incense, traditional botanical uses, and simple tips for storing and burning your finished creations. At the end of the experience, you'll take home the incense you made yourself, along with the knowledge and confidence to continue exploring this beautiful botanical craft.
