Crafting Incense: Reconnecting to Nature through Scent

Join us for an immersive 2-hour workshop on Saturday, December 14th from 7pm-9pm at our Venice Apothecary where participants will learn the art of incense-making using ethically harvested ingredients that highlight the rich aromatic traditions of California native plants as well as other traditional Indigenous plants known for their sacred smoke.

Through hands-on experience, attendees will create their own custom incense cones, blending plant matter and essential oils, while gaining a deeper understanding of the properties and benefits of each plant used.

Participants will work with the following ingredients:

• 3 different powders to craft incense cones 

• Los Angeles Forest Spring water

• Essential Oils
