Make incense from the plants of Lake Tahoe. In this small, hands-on workshop, you'll work with natural Tahoe pine resin, aromatic herbs, flowers and botanicals to create your own incense completely from scratch. You'll grind, blend, knead and hand-roll your incense while learning about the Sierra Nevada plants, traditional incense-making techniques, and how I harvest, prepare and distill botanicals for my small-batch apothecary. This isn't incense made with synthetic fragrance oils, charcoal or artificial fillers. We work with real plants, natural resins and botanical ingredients. You'll leave with your own handcrafted Tahoe incense, the knowledge to make it again at home, and a souvenir from Tahoe that you actually made yourself. Perfect for plant lovers, couples, friends, solo travelers and anyone looking for something different to do in Tahoe beyond the usual tourist activities.

I had the most wonderful afternoon hanging with my friends and learning all about the plants of Sierra Nevada. And we made our own incense. It was so fun. Sarah the owner of Hippie Juice Wellness is a vast of information. And you can tell this is something she truly loves and loves sharing with others. Book a class! It’s so fun and the incense is all natural and smells wonderful.
I had such a wonderful time learning how to make natural incense. Sara was incredibly knowledgeable about local plants and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. it was peaceful, hands on, and unlike anything I’ve done before in Tahoe. I left with beautiful hand made incense and a deeper appreciation for the plants around me. I highly recommend this experience!
We had an amazing time with Sara. Her house and workspace was so inviting and inspiring. She explained how she curated the pine and distilled the herbs for aromatics. So cool! We learned a lot, so feel there is so much more to learn from her-i’d definitely recommend this class and any other one she teaches .
