Details

Join us for hands-on crafting as we weave together natural fibers, intention, and seasonal spirit to create your very own whisk broom — a timeless tool for cleansing, grounding, and ritual.

In this workshop, you’ll learn traditional broom-making techniques using natural materials, while exploring the symbolic and energetic uses of whisk brooms — from altar cleansing and aura clearing to simple home blessings.

You’ll leave not only with a handcrafted broom infused with your own intention, but also with the knowledge of how to use it for both practical and spiritual purposes during the dark and reflective winter months.

All materials provided.
