Are we discovering the history of incense from all countries?

This is a discovery; we will not delve into the history of each substance or its major traditions (Tibet, India, Japan, etc.). We are primarily knowledgeable about local substances, and it is these that we wish to promote.

Will we be able to harvest local plants?

This course is not a botany course. Its aim is to share and introduce you to local wild plants. Some will be easily recognizable, while others will require some learning before they can be found in nature and used. That's why we've created a lesson on how to forage for these plants.

I live outside of Europe. Are the ingredients specific to Switzerland or France?

When I talk about local incense, I mean European incense. But you'll also learn to make two blends using exotic, non-European ingredients. This way, you can adapt the recipes as you wish, with ingredients from here or elsewhere.

How many recipes does the training include?

The training includes descriptions of three methods (incense burners, charcoal, and stick making). The stick making chapter currently contains three different recipes. From these, you can create dozens of others.

You say we need to go foraging, is that between videos, something we have to do ourselves to prepare for the next video?

There are no mandatory homework assignments, but one of the goals of the training is to encourage you to go outside and collect resins around your home.

When does the training start and end?

It has no beginning or end. These are pre-recorded videos. Once purchased, you can start watching the videos in the order they appear on the program and rewatch them as many times as you like.

How long does access last?

Access to the platform is unlimited; you can access it as many times as you want.

However, it is possible that one day Cueilleurs Sauvages may cease operations or that we may decide to discontinue this training. In that case, your access will be guaranteed for a period of time. minimum one year.

I don't understand how to view the videos!

First of all, you need to connect using the same login details as during your order. Then, you can access and save the training access page Add it to your favorites. You'll just have to click on the video titles.

If I have any questions, how could I ask them?

You can ask me your questions by email and I will answer you as quickly as possible.

Are you a professional incense manufacturer?

I'm an environmentalist by training, passionate about plants and their uses. I currently make a living teaching wild plant identification and have been running incense-making workshops for six years. I learned to make incense on my own, through trial and error. It's my humble experience that I invite you to discover in this workshop.
