Herbal Oxymels & Fire Cider

​

Locally grown Incense & Smoke Bundles

November 23 @ Tonic 2-4:30

Together we will make herbal burn bundles and incense cones from locally grown and harvested plants.  White sage and palo santo are commonly sold, as they are wonderful plants that release a lovely fragrance, but suffer from overharvesting.  There are many plants that can be used as incense that you can grow or selectively harvest from the surrounding area, while alleviating the pressure on overharvested plants.

Join us for creative community crafting and  take home gifts to enter the winter dream time.
