It brings my Incense Alchemy workshop into your own space, with everything you need to grind, blend, form and dry your own botanical incense cones, guided step by step through the same flow we share around the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking incense this way is a ritual in itself. You clear a little space, set out your sachets of real woods, resins and herbs, and begin to grind and stir them together, noticing how each plant releases its scent as it warms and softens in your hands. The hydrosol gathers everything into one fragrant dough, and as you roll each small cone you press a little of your own intention into it, so that later, when you light it, the smoke carries something of that quiet hour back into your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery ingredient is a whole plant material, sourced from the earth and portioned for you so there is nothing to measure, from sandalwood and frankincense to rose, agarwood and myrrh. These are the same plant allies I work with in my studio, each one chosen for how it smells, how it burns and how it makes a room feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInside the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotanical sachets for two blends, one Yin and one Yang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo hydrosols, rose water for the Yin blend and bergamot for the Yang blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWooden blending spoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlate plate for rolling and shaping your cones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuidebook that walks you through the workshop flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Yin and Yang blends\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYin\u003c\/strong\u003e, soft and grounding: sandalwood, frankincense, rose and cardamom, bound with joss powder and brought together with rose water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYang\u003c\/strong\u003e, warm and awakening: agarwood, myrrh, clove and zhi shi, bound with joss powder and brought together with bergamot hydrosol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can grind the resins yourself, which is one of the most satisfying parts of the ritual, or have them crushed and powdered by me before they arrive.

With a Yin and a Yang blend in every kit, you can craft alongside a friend or explore both yourself, and once your cones have dried, all that is left is to light one, sit back and let the smoke do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Calma Places","offers":[{"title":"Without mortar and pestle","offer_id":47533171179609,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With mortar and pestle","offer_id":47702207234137,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/6306\/0313\/files\/CalmaPlaces_Hands_8f7ad386-0b86-4409-a0bc-bff48405e41e.jpg?v=1792703132","url":"https:\/\/calmaplaces.com\/products\/incense-alchemy-at-home-kit","provider":"Calma Places","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
