Craft Your Own Herbal Incense: A Hands-On Workshop in Waco, TX

If you’ve ever wanted to explore the magic of herbs beyond teas and tinctures, this is your invitation.

Join me in August for a hands-on herbal incense crafting workshop in Waco, Texas, where you’ll learn to make your own cone-style incense using natural, plant-based ingredients, some right from the Wild Thistle Herbs & Alchemy teaching garden. This is more than just a DIY project; it’s an opportunity to connect with the tradition of incense making, rooted in ritual, intention, and sensory delight.

Why Incense?

Herbal incense can be used in so many beautiful ways:

  • 🌿 As part of a daily or seasonal ritual – Mark the shift from work to rest, honor a full moon, or simply set the tone for meditation or journaling.

  • 🕯️ To refresh and scent your space – Think of it as plant-powered aromatherapy, using ingredients that are gentle and free of synthetic fragrance.

  • 💌 As a heartfelt gift – There’s something incredibly thoughtful about a handcrafted item, especially when it smells this good.

Each blend you create can be infused with your own intention—whether it's grounding, clarity, peace, or simply something that brings a smile every time you light it.

What You’ll Learn

This in-person herbal workshop will walk you through the steps of crafting incense from scratch using a combination of dried herbs, resins, and natural binders. We’ll discuss the energetics of the herbs and give you space to create blends that are uniquely yours.
