Smudging was one of the first things I incorporated into my daily spiritual practice that was considered "woo-woo." Honestly, I had no clue what I was doing and nearly set my house on fire because of it. I saw people on social media waving around smudge sticks. I thought it had to be as easy as lighting a candle. I was utterly mistaken when I was setting off smoke detectors halfway through smudging. I was also feeling weird vibes from the dark corners of my house. Come to find out that I was merely a commoner using holy herbs reserved for high priests and shamans for centuries before me.
The only thing that kept me continuously picking up my sage stick was my need for change. I had this unnerving sensation of unease. Every time I stepped in, my home drained after a long day; all I truly wanted was a relief. Smudging was a common topic among my friends and the people I followed on social media. Still, for some reason, it wasn't working for me. I did not feel the so-called shift in energy that everyone claimed to experience, and I wasn't calling new blessings into my life. I knew I wasn't doing something right and had to change what I was doing.
I obsessively began doing research, taking classes, and reading books on various herbs and smudging techniques. I fell in love with the art of smudging. Because it is an art. I went from setting off fire alarms to creating blends of herbs to call in specific intentions. My sheer determination to generate change became a personal passion project.
This workshop is for you if you are anything like me and have a deep need for change. Sage alone wasn't enough for me, and it is very likely not enough for you. Creating an altar space, ritual, and precise blend of herbs changed my spiritual practice, and I know it can change yours too. Smudge sticks like sage are only a piece of the ritual built from centuries of sacred traditions that came before you and me.
I am so excited and humbled to walk you through this step in your spiritual journey, where we will build sacred spaces and ceremonies. You don't have to go at this alone. I am honored to hold this space to invite creativity and intention for your wants to come to fruition!
