SUMMARY:An Ancient and Inspiring Incense-Making Ritual - A Bridge Between the Material & Spiritual Worlds
CATEGORIES:event
DESCRIPTION:An Ancient and Inspiring Incense-Making Ritual: A Bridge Between the Material & Spiritual Worlds Since ancient times, humans in many cultures and faith traditions have burned sacred plants as a way of honoring the invisible—allowing fragrant smoke to carry prayers and messages to the ancestors, while inviting deep peace and calmness into meditation and prayer practices. Join herbalist Jenny Ehrhardt, aka “The Herb Lady,” for a deeply experiential afternoon rooted in plant wisdom, ritual, and creative presence. Known for her Sound Baths at the Well, Jenny brings a grounded and heart-centered approach to working with the natural world in all of her offerings. In this workshop, Jenny will again share her love of plants and rituals as she leads participants in the ancient act of incense making. Using raw, local plant material that is thriving in this season, participants will create incense cones in alignment with the energies of the earth and cosmos. The gathering will begin with a short, guided meditation to settle into the rhythms of creating for oneself while in community. Jenny will provide a brief history about incense, the varieties that exist, and why incense is used across many cultures and ceremonies, with a specific focus on the properties of the selected seasonal plants. Participants will then create their own incense from these special plant materials while learning several methods for burning them as part of their meditation practice. Participants will leave with their handmade incense, a special herbal blend, and a charcoal circle for use at home. All materials are provided for this special afternoon of creativity and community. This program previously sold out in just a few days! Please register early to assure your seat. DATE: Sunday, July 19, 2026 TIME: 1:30 - 3:30 PM COST: $90 LOCATION: Well for the Journey - 120 W.

FACILITATOR: Jenny Ehrhardt FACILITATOR BIO: Over the last 35 years my heart has been engaged with plants of all kinds. Even as a child we always had a huge garden. We grew everything. As my Dad shifted to loving roses and all flowers, I know that just stayed with me. I feel so honored and humbled to work with the plants. I worked for a small flower farmer, a landscaping company, and a service farm where everything we grew went directly to the Maryland Food Bank and other kitchens throughout Baltimore. I then worked for a Naturopathic Doctor and began to learn how to process plants into medicine and honestly have not looked back. For 15 years I worked at farmers markets and festivals selling products that I created for 10 of those years. I had my very own Apothecary in Hampden, serving my community with affordable herbal remedies and also offering a safe space for people to gather and learn. It is very important to me to meet people where they are on this herbal plant walk. It is a remembering, an awakening to what our bodies and hearts already know if we listen closely to ourselves and keep it very simple. Those earlier years were very full and somewhat hectic. Today I find I am so grateful to be able to slow down and watch the wonder on people's faces when they start to remember plants and the memories that begin to rise up.
