The Ways of Incense: Trails of Time, Tells of Faraway Places

A celebration that marks the cycle of growing and burning in the Gunaikurnai Country through the intricate practice of incense making, burning, and smelling. The facility provides a sanctuary for individuals searching for a sense of place and belonging, including those who have lost their homes to recent bushfires and are on a journey to rekindle their relationships with nature and fire. Through the process of crafting and burning incense, reconciliation is thus strengthened and enhanced with fragrant dialogues. 

​

The architecture of the facility; the residency, workshop, and incense meditation pavilions, take a contemplative approach, aiming to foster an environment that encourages individuals to slow down and reconnect with themselves and with the land. The crafting program involves a thoughtful process of selecting indigenous plants that grow on-site to connecting deeply with its essence through the mindful practice of incese meditation.
