These small sage blends for smudging have been gathered and put together by hand, featuring medicinal plants all gathered from Jessica Silvey's traditional territory. 

Smudging is done by placing plant leaves or stems in a shell or bowl and igniting with a wooden match. The flames are gently blown out and the smoke which heals the mind, heart, body, and soul is gently fanned over the person with a feather or by hand. Smudging can clear negative energy from rooms and homes. you can smudge yourself or lead a smudge by holding the shell and directing the smoke over others. 

Jessica Silvey is from the Sechelt Nation. Born in Egmont, BC, she’s a self taught weaver of Coast Salish and Portuguese descent. Silvey says "Many of my childhood hours were spent with my paternal Grandmother in the forest. It is my favourite place to be, surrounded by cedar trees and silence. I have learned traditional techniques from research as well as trial and error. I harvest and prepare my own materials. When I am ready to weave, the most time-consuming work has been completed. Weaving is my passion and therapy for my soul."
