Creation of Ancient Incenses

Workshop for Youth in Marijampolė

In collaboration with youth organizations in Marijampolė, I had the opportunity to lead a workshop on creating ancient incense, where young people learned about traditional incense-making techniques from the past. We worked with juniper wood, which has been used for incense for centuries due to its unique scent and calming properties. These workshops became a wonderful way to spend free time, allowing participants to relax and escape from the daily hustle. The creative process – from preparing the incense to lighting it – was a form of meditation, where participants could disconnect from their thoughts and fully immerse themselves in the experience, simply enjoying the moment.
