Smudging is the ceremonial, ritual burning of sacred and medicinal herbs, roots, barks, flowers and resins practiced by all Mesoamerican cultures across history, and several other cultures across the world (Persia, Japan, China, Turkey, India). Smoke is used for spiritual and energetic cleansing as well as blessings. Spaces, people and objects can all be smudged and cleared of the energies of emotional fights, death, illness, depression, set backs. Smudging brings in positive energy to replace negative or stuck and stagnant energy.  Through this class, we connect deeply to the essence of plants and flowers, surrendering to their intelligence and medicine. We learn how to work with the elements, connect from our heart to the heart of Mother Nature and ask her her blessings and gifts in the form of all the materials we require to make our own smudge wands and smudge mixes. We learn how to smudge people and space.
