w/ Tarah Green

We explore the power of smoke cleansing, blessing, and consecrating with awareness of cultural significance in the Americas, Europe, and around the world, from the origins and etymology the words and language we use to describe these practices, to the variety of plants used and their medicinal properties. We observe and commune with a variety of plants used for smoke cleansing and chant in song together while experiencing the power of smoke cleansing techniques and beliefs.
