Sourcing and quality

Origin: California

Soul Space’s white sage is sourced from both cultivated and wildcrafted material. The cultivated sage comes from a family grower in Northern California, while the wildcrafted material comes from Southern California.

At Soul Space, we gently warm raw botanicals, resins, and woods to release their natural aroma without direct burning.
