SMOKE CLEANSING, SEINING, and SMUDGING for energetic and physical well-being.
Many herbs can be used for smoke cleaning/seining/smudging. Come learn about them, what they can do for you and your home and ritual space, and make several organic smoke cleaning wands you can take home, from herbs and plants here at Morningsun. Brita will provide everything you need for the class.
Come join Anthropologist and herbalist Brita Wynn Dinsmore M.A. (www.cronewytch.com) for a fun and informative lesson on making and using plant bundles for ritual, protection, offering, and cleansing. Learn not only how to make a variety of smudge bundles using lots of fresh herbs from the garden such as cultivated white sage, mugwort, mullein and much more. You will also learn what the word smudge actually means, the history of burning herb bundles, cross culturally how to be respectful when harvesting, how to avoid cultural appropriation issues, and proper use.
This workshop includes an herb walk around the farm to meet the plants we will be working with, so please wear comfortable shoes.
Fee includes instructions, handout, all herbs needed, and materials for making several smudge sticks and bundles to take home, tools will be provided.
Course fee $40
