Earth to Roots Incense Making Workshop

Spices under your fingertips, incense drying beside your cup of tea.

At Earth to Roots in Hackney you learn to make incense that's sustainable and soulful. The workshop covers the history of incense and the benefits of herbs, resins, spices and essential oils. You choose your own ingredients and, under gentle guidance, hand-roll cones and sticks, learning top tips for shaping and burning them. All tools, tea and water are provided, and you leave with your personalised incense and a leaflet so you can keep crafting at home. Reviews rave about the calming, healing atmosphere and the feeling that your hands have learned a new kind of prayer.

There's a version of the Lark who could tell you what to do before this, and where to go after. She plans evenings around feelings, not postcodes.
