Gratitude, cleansing, meditating, space clearing and blessings are just a few of the ways that ethically sourced palo santo can improve your spiritual practice and well being. It’s not incense to be lit because you want a room to smell good, it’s so much more. It is sacred, must be ethical and used with clear intent.

With a long history as a holy wood whose smoke is healing it is no surprise that during the stay at home lockdowns during the pandemic many people are turning to palo santo to relieve stress and create a stronger connection with ritual. It is my desire to offer a Palo Santo ritual kit that encourages you to celebrate the sacred nature of this sacred smoke and offers an option for using sacred herbs as something more than just air freshener. 

For decades, palo santo has been my first choice when I bring something new into my home that I want to smudge, when I want to meditate on gratitude or when it is time to do a simple smudge to clear my home. I even use it as an intentional shift from the busy work of running a production studio to sitting at the wheel and making pottery. It creates a threshold between the ordinary and elevated.

Designing a vessel to enhance that ritual was a pleasure. The Palo Santo Burning Bowl will hold the palo santo safely aloft to allow for smudging without the danger of fire from a glowing ember falling onto something unexpected. 

Each handmade ceramic palo santo kit includes three sticks of ethically sourced palo santo, a small bag of pure silica sand for the center of the bowl for extinguishing your palo santo and helping to hold it in place more securely and one of my favorite palo santo cleansing rituals courtesy of Deb Swingholm at Flowering Moon - an expert in ancient Goddess symbolism, space clearing master and educator.

Now, if you’re as curious as I was about the ethics of palo santo...

There is so much information floating around about Palo Santo, some of which is accurate and much that is not at all based in truth. In an intentional effort to respect the holy aspect of palo santo and to continue our passion for sourcing materials with integrity the Palo Santo sticks we offer are ONLY sourced from a well-reputed individual source that submits to certification and auditing to confirm proper licensing for harvest, approved harvesting methods, respect for the holy wood, and partnerships with native communities to encourage growth and success for all involved. From our supplier, “For us, the value of environmentally conscious forestry practices & the humane treatment of our native community partners far outweigh the value of the dollar.” If you’d like to learn more you can find more information direct from our source here.

The gentle smoke of all natural, hand rolled incense can change the mood of a room or mark the transition between work and home with intention. The Gravesco handmade pottery incense burner will gracefully hold your incense stick catching any ash that falls, protecting your table top.

You may choose either the incense holder on its own or a bundle with 12 all natural hand rolled incense sticks and a small vase to hold the incense.

Enjoy your handmade ceramic incense burner with our favorite all natural hand rolled incense sticks.

Pair it with our classic white Incense burner to catch all the ashes as your incense burns and protect your furniture beautifully. 

Venus of Willendorf was discovered in 1908 near Willendorf, Austria. She has been dated as having been carved 22,000-25,000 years ago during the upper Paleolithic period. This robust beauty is one of the oldest and most famous works of art in the world. While we may not all have the opportunity to travel to the Natural History Museum in Vienna, we can still enjoy her essence at home with the six inch tall pure beeswax statue. Whether you imagine her as a fertility statue or a Mother Goddess, I hope you enjoy the addition of Venus of Willendorf to your ritual practice.

6" tall

30 hour burn time 

Venus of Willendorf is handmade in New York in a certified living wage facility powered by the sun. In addition to focusing on the work/life balance of their employees, they give back to four humanitarian organizations. As always, we try to bring you products that are thoughtfully sourced with the importance of embracing other small businesses that embrace joy and share their successes.

Set a beautiful mood with natural beeswax tea lite candles in a handmade holder with a sweet little handle. There is just something about a handle on a candle holder that takes us back to a simpler time. 

Measures 2 1/4" high at the top of the handle and 4" wide with the handle. The cup is approximately 1 3/8" high x 2 5/8" diameter. It will hold a standard tea lite or an extra large tea lite candle. We personally love them with a little bit of white sand in the bottom and a standard pure beeswax tea lite candle.

Includes 1 pure beeswax tea lite candle from Sunbeam Candles - an eco conscious candle company who pays a certified living wage, uses solar power and donates a portion of their sales to non-profit projects they are passionate about.

This listing is for one candle holder.

Please keep in mind that you may not receive the exact candle holder shown in the photo but you will receive one made to the same specifications and including the marks of the potters who make it.

It takes a whole team of people to make our pottery. The clay is prepared by Bradley, the cup is thrown by Sarah, the handles are made by Bradley, the bottoms are trimmed and stamped by Aly, the handles are attached by Rebecca, they are waxed and glazed by Abby and Mackenzie and the whole team shares in loading and unloading the kilns. Finally, Chris packages them neatly and ships them safely to you. We love that each item is a cooperative endeavor with the energy of our whole team infused into every step.

Find a quiet space. Take a deep breath.

Get grounded. Be connected.

Carry your altar with you.

We've created an earthing kit for the modern nomad.

Your Earthing Kit contains the following elements:

• A cotton bag to contain all the elements with enough room to add personal items if you so desire
• A tin to hold everything safely inside the bag
• A handmade altar cloth by Rebecca of Gravesco Pottery woven with the intent of creating a sacred space you can take anywhere
• Three cards with information about how to use your earthing kit and some information on the crystals themselves. Deb has crafted a simple ritual you can use anywhere for grounding and healing.
• 1 selenite wand
• 1 quartz crystal
• 1 black tourmaline
• 1 amethyst
• 1 citrine
• a small packet of pink salt infused with organic rosemary and lavender
• a private link to learn even more about working with each element of your earthing kit

Deb Swingholm of Flowering Moon and Rebecca Graves Prowse of Gravesco Pottery have spent the better part of two years exploring what would make an ideal ritual kit that can easily travel anywhere yet be personal, adaptable and work effortlessly for a variety of uses.

When you receive your earthing kit you will find a QR code in the bottom. Simply scan that with the notes app or camera app using your phone to open a portal to even more knowledge about incorporating ritual into your daily practice, how to work with each element of the kit and a series of opportunities to explore the Divine Feminine and your own energies more deeply.

Rebecca says, "It is my desire to create a portable altar and all the tools needed for rituals wherever you are, regardless of your skill level or familiarity. I wanted to create something that a beginner can use and learn from to gain confidence in making ritual an enhancement in their daily lives. I also desire that experienced practitioners enjoy the ease of having an altar at their fingertips whenever and wherever they are, to be able to call upon the energy of the crystals, create a sacred space or perform a ceremony in any moment."

Deb says, "The most important thing you need in order to craft your own personal ritual is a clear intention or prayer.  What are you trying to accomplish?  Once you know that, think about how you can represent that desire and give it wings.  What actions, colors, symbols, tools or prayers can help make that real?"

It is our collaborative desire that you benefit from the knowledge and ease of the portable earthing kit.

Due to the handmade nature of each kit, we are currently accepting pre-orders for the first set to be released on Saturday, March 20th - the spring equinox.

Ethically sourced with proper intention, our palo santo sticks will bring a sacred element to your smudging, blessing or clearing practice. 

It was of the utmost importance to find palo santo that is ethically sourced with independent certification in collaboration with the indigenous tribes of the area. This is not an endangered variety of palo santo, but it is properly harvested to encourage the longevity of this sacred wood.

Each bundle includes 3 generous sticks in a cotton muslin bag.
