The Art of Botanical Smoke Cleansing
Monday, November 30, 2026 | 6:00–8:00 PM
The Keep Space Gallery at JaJa PDX
819 SE Taylor Street, Portland, OR
Featuring Joanna Wiley & Jenna Kluwe

Join Joanna Wiley and Jenna Kluwe for a beautiful evening of sacred creativity, plant wisdom, and intentional making as we explore the time-honored practice of botanical smoke cleansing.
Working with aromatic herbs, flowers, and greenery gathered from our gardens, the land, and our own botanical collections, we will explore the relationship between plants, purification, blessing, and the sacred practice of tending our spaces.
Together, we will create two handcrafted botanical cleansing wands using cedar, rosemary, lavender, sage, seasonal flowers, and other beautiful botanicals. Each bundle becomes a personal expression of your intentions, infused with the beauty and wisdom of the natural world.
This is more than a craft workshop. It's an invitation to slow down, connect with the plants, create with your hands, and bring meaningful ritual into your everyday life.
During Our Time Together, You Will:
• Explore Sacred Plant Wisdom — Learn about the traditional and contemporary uses of aromatic herbs and botanicals for cleansing, purification, blessing, and intentional ritual.
• Connect with the Natural World — Discover the beauty of working with locally grown, garden-harvested, and responsibly gathered plants.
• Create Two Botanical Cleansing Wands — Choose from a beautiful selection of cedar, rosemary, lavender, sage, flowers, and seasonal botanicals to design and hand-tie two unique bundles.
• Learn the Art of Bundling — Explore simple techniques for arranging, wrapping, and securing your botanicals using natural string and decorative ribbon.
• Weave in Prayer & Intention — Bring mindfulness, gratitude, and personal meaning into the creative process.
• Explore Spiritual Hygiene — Learn ways to incorporate botanical smoke cleansing into your personal rituals, sacred spaces, and everyday practices.
• Learn Drying, Storage & Safe Use — Discover how to properly dry and care for your handmade bundles before using them.
Completing Your Sacred Plant Bundles
Each participant will create two unique botanical cleansing wands to take home.
Choose the plants, colors, textures, and fragrances that speak to you. Whether you're drawn to the grounding presence of cedar, the aromatic beauty of rosemary, or the gentle fragrance of lavender, each creation will be entirely your own.
Your freshly made bundles will need time to dry completely before they are ready for smoke cleansing. We will share simple instructions for drying, storing, and safely working with your creations.
Additional botanical bundles may be created during the workshop for $5 each, while supplies last.
No previous experience is necessary. All botanical materials, string, ribbon, and tools are provided.
