Christiana is a very lovely and knowledgeable teacher. It was a great experience to learn more about the incense stick making process and I got quite a few to make and take home. Can definitely recommend

Did this class with my daughter. We like burning incense at home and thought it would be fun to make our own. The class was great. Very relaxing rolling out the sticks and chatting to Christina - who was a lovely host. Would highly recommend.

I loved everything about this workshop. To start, the venue was just beautiful and cozy, amazing atmosphere with plants everywhere.
Second, Christina has a beautiful soul and was very pleasant to spend my afternoon with her learning the incense history, she was very friendly and patient, also, she explained in different ways to help me to reach the goal of making the incense. It definitely was an enjoyable afternoon. All the material is provided.
I highly recommend this workshop!

Enjoyed this class so much, super chill Christina was warm and knowledgeable, I learned a lot from her including the meaning of incense, how to make incense, how to choose incense holder, what ingredients to use when I want to feel calm and when I want to feel energetic, etc. The other classmate was friendly and lovely she helped me a lot in class. The material and tools were impressive, so beautiful. Location was small but decent. Highly recommended

A beautiful box of goodies arrived very promptly although I have only now just had time to use it. It was easy to set up and the incense smells lovely. I will use this many times. The tools and burner are gorgeous and of very good quality. Thank you Christina.

Christina was friendly and her knowledge of Agarwood was impressive. And although the activity was quite relaxing, I found the workshop limited. There was only one choice of incense, I would have liked to have more options of different smells or knowledge of other incense that could be combined together.

It was an interesting class. Rolling the incense was therapeutic and meditative. Christina is a friendly instructor. Class was held in a courtyard of a cafe which is a unique spot to have a class. Overall, a good class. I enjoyed it. I started using the incense at home and they smell divine

Christina was very friendly and responsive to inquiries leading up the the workshop and in the class itself! Lovely venue and it was very interesting to hear about the background of agarwood and incense. We enjoyed our time hand-rolling incense and immersing ourselves in the moment.

This was a lovely class and Christina is a calm and friendly teacher. Rolling each stick of incense was like a little meditation. The oud powder used was high quality and we got to keep the little spoon and spatula which was used for mixing. Overall a very relaxing and pleasant class.

This was an incredibly wholesome experience. The teacher, Christina was very knowledgeable and her calming and friendly presence aided in the enjoyment of the afternoon. The class was well paced and I really appreciated how we were allowed quiet time to focus on our practice and technique of hand rolling. I would most definitely recommend this class to others.
