Incense Workshop

I absolutely loved the incense workshop. It felt creative, relaxed and deeply grounding from start to finish. The workshop was hands on and intuitive. I walked away with a blend I genuinely love and feel connected to.

Incense Workshop

When someone is as passionate as you are about a topic, it's hard not to be completely swept up in it too. I came into the session just thinking I want my home to smell beautiful, but instead learning to build incense around an intention, even as I walk past my incense that's drying at home, the scent of it gives me a lift which is exactly what I put into it. PS I've broken up with nag champa :)

Incense Workshop

I'm so grateful to Kristen for sharing her craft so generously. I blended agarwood and sandalwood with myrrh, frankincense, benzoin and rose, and made something completely my own.

A Healing Intention

Incense Workshop

An incredible teacher. I made this incense with Calma Places at Roots Festival and called it Breath of Eros: frankincense, rose, agarwood, black pepper and rose water. Burning it at home with the rain pouring outside was something special.

Incense Workshop

I burnt my first incense I crafted with you last night and wow, it was truly a spiritual experience. If I thought it smelt divine while I was making it, burning it was next level. The wood, resin and fragrance mingled into prayers and love, shifting the whole room and its energy.

Incense Alchemy at Home

Earth in your hands, smoke in your home.

A sensory experience working with earth sourced plant allies, and an invitation to slow down and craft your own aromatic medicine by hand. My Incense Alchemy workshop comes into your own space, with real woods, resins and herbs portioned and ready for you to grind, blend and roll into botanical cones, guided step by step through the same flow we share around the table.

Every kit holds two blends, a soft and grounding Yin of sandalwood, frankincense, rose and cardamom, and a warm and awakening Yang of agarwood, myrrh, clove and zhi shi, each with its own hydrosol, alongside a wooden blending spoon and a guidebook, enough for 16 to 30 cones. Then light one, sit back and let the smoke do the work.

From $60

Incense: Bespoke & Editions

Aromatic Partnerships

Natural incense, made for you.

Each blend is shaped around what you are moving through and what you are calling in, bringing together my incense craft and my energy work as I choose woods, resins and botanicals for both their aroma and the energetic support they offer, so it becomes a personal ritual tool made for you alone.

Kristen | Incense Artisan

After twenty years in Australian media, I followed the quiet thread that had always run beneath everything, the plants, resins and sacred smoke, and Calma Places became the studio where I now blend woods, resins and botanicals by hand into incense made as aromatic medicine, rooted in traditional incense making and the Kōdō I studied under a Japanese incense master.
