In this dreamy workshop we will start off by creating our own unique sage bundles (also commonly known as smudge sticks).  These little bundles of herbs wrapped in twine, emit an earthy, aromatic scent and help purify the space you live in. Our bundles will be made with locally sourced herbs and sustainability foraged winter greenery. Horticultural therapist Rebecca will go in depth about the properties of each botanical element that we will be adding into our bundles. Some of the botanical elements you'll use and learn about include seasonal winter elements of Sage, Rosemary, baby's breath, dried oranges, cedar and dusty miller. . All materials will be provided to make one medium sage bundle. 

​

Included in this workshop, you will receive a unique crystal that you can either tie into your bundle or set in your space for when you're smudging. ‘Smudging’ is a powerful energy clearing ritual used by Native and ancient traditions during ceremonies. Whether you smudge to honour those traditions or simply to establish your own ritual, there are countless reasons to add smudging into your routine. As a ritual, smudging can help aid relaxation, relieve stress, dispel negative emotions and can enhance spirituality or meditation.Once we are finished assembling our sage bundles, we will then be guided by Pamela with a restorative full moon meditation and smudging ceremony. Full moons represent the culmination of energy: completion and celebration, as well as releasing and shedding the old to pave way for the new. Ceremoniously clearing and releasing anything that doesn’t serve our highest good with the smoke of sacred sage.
