Holy Smokes! The History, Mystery, and Medicine of Burnable Botanicals
Holy Smokes! The History, Mystery, and Medicine of Burnable Botanicals

Friday, December 13th, 6-8pm.
Please plan extra travel time for Winterhaven traffic. We will have parking onsite for participants.

Whether it's eucalyptus wafting from bonfires in the Australian bush, syrian rue seeds laid upon volcanic vents at the Oracle of Delphi, nightshade haze rising from a sacramental pipe, or frankincense & myrrh spiraling from a thurible in church, smoke is perhaps one of the oldest applications of herbal medicine.

Burnable botanicals are not just to be rolled up & inhaled, but are prized as incense, prayer offerings, medicinal washes, food preservation technology, and so much more! Have your curiosity sparked as ethnobotanist and herbalist Ash Ritter (Black Sage Botanicals) guides an exploration of the wide array of plant & mushroom smokes, with an emphasis on sustainable, relational, respectful engagement.

With our senses as our guiding stars, let us experience beautiful smokes firsthand to amplify and empower this conversational, tactile lecture. We will collectively unveil the nuances between various aromatics, exploring their physical & energetic signatures, and applications for therapeutic, culinary, practical, and ceremonial purposes.

At a time of year when seed heads burst into poofs to be carried off in the wind, let us explore the ethereal transformation of matter into spirit with a lively exploration of the multifaceted applications of smoke.

2 scholarship spots are available at pay-what-you-can pricing. Please email hello@theninthhouseshop.com to inquire.
