Sacred Smudges
Smoke Cleansing with mindfulness of our sacred relations with plants, land, and people.
A reel that I made about “Smudging" on Instagram went viral to an audience with 142k views on this topic, and this helped ignite my passion for sharing Sacred Smudges with the world. The controversy and common misunderstandings about Smudging, Saining, and Smoke cleansing deepened my desire to help make sacred herbs of a wide variety available and accessible in ways that were with a beneficial symbiotic relationship with the land, connecting people with their local environments, insects, animals, and culture.
It is my mission to support the world in having a healthy relationship with Smudging and Smoke Cleansing practices, and so it is with love that I deepen my work of bundling smudge through wildcrafting and cultivating sacred plants with care and intention, extending these gifts to my community for the empowerment of trade and interactive educational workshops.

These Sacred Smudges are hand bundled with fresh in-season herbs and plants that I grow myself or wild-forage from the mountains where I live.
Smudging is a smoke cleansing practice that has become popular in the United States, although burning sacred herbs to send up our prayers with intentions to cleanse and bless is global and multicultural, known by different names in languages throughout time.
