Chances are you’ve heard about smudging, the act of burning herbs to transmute negative energy. In this workshop we will discuss a type of smudge called a "solar smudge" — remedies which are gently warming, granting of energy and vitality, and collected in summer for use in the winter. We will collect wild, abundant medicinal “weeds” for our smudges and combine them with pre-collected herbs — everyone will take home their own smudge.
