Bois d'Hiver Nerikoh evokes a snow-laden forest of ancient conifer trees. Picture in mind the towering pillars of a forest cathedral, made entirely of giant redcedars, Douglas fir trees and Hemlock Spruce, their evergreen branches laden with impeccably white snow. 

Bois d'Hiver Nerikoh was created especially for Yule - the Winter Solstice. To celebrate the spirits of the forest and anticipate the return of the sun with fragrant smoke from resins and foraged botanicals carefully blended and shaped into tiny round soft-pellets that produce a aroma, redolent of precious resins (frankincense, myrrh, sandarac, and wild harvested piñon resin and spruce pitch by my friends in Canada and the USA), mingled with forest-foraged needles and saps from spruce, balsam fir, and juniper berries, and many other fragrant spices, and brightened by clary sage from my garden and bright grapefruit blossoms from my orchard. It is anchored in cedarwood, sandalwood, and a pinch of agarwood and snowy Borneol camphor.

Nerikoh is a traditional Japanese kneaded incense, that is hand-rolled and aged and fermented underground for several months or years. It is less known in the west and often burnt during the tea ceremony because they are a refined and smoke-free form of incense. Precious woods, herbs and spices are finely ground and bound together with honey and dried fruit, then rolled into tiny balls. 

To use Nerikoh: Kneaded incense is not meant to be burnt, but rather warmed in traditional Koh-Doh cup, or for more convieneinct and accessible technique - place on top of an electric incense heater or aromatherapy lamp/diffuser. You'll only a tiny pinch of each ball to scent a room for hours on end, releasing  gentle yet enveloping and exotic aroma. 

Just like the miniature tree, “Bon Zai” is the essence of nature, with all of its simplicity, beauty and silent glory. Japanese woods and exotic herbs harmonize together to create this unusual and refreshing scent. Like a resilient evergreen tree, it survives all seasons and moods.

Annual course dedicated to the in-depth research and study of the Plant Kingdom. 

Bi-weekly sessions, which take place year-around in which we will listen to, observe and discover the plants in their natural habitat at Ayala Moriel's "Cave" and fragrant garden in Clil, and mostly outdoors in the wilderness of the Galilee. 

The course focuses on exploring the life cycle of plants, and the mysterious and magical teachings that we can draw from their ways of life, survival mechanisms and unique qualities: Chemistry, colour, aroma, flavour and texture and the plant's way of life all teach us about the plants properties and how they can assist us in healing our body, mind,  spirit and the planet. 

We will develop close relationships with the local plants, as well as discover some exotic ones from far away lands that are essential for understanding the human-botanical connection and its history in medicine, cosmetics, incense and perfume. 

We will learn about the history of plants from ethnobotanical point of view, their versatile applications from time immemorial - as food source, medicine, spice, construction, weaving, incense, perfume, magic, art and so much more. 

The course is suitable for medicine people and healers, artists and artisans, and anyone who hears a calling from the plant world - be it from professional or personal reasons. For me personally this course is making a dream come true - to get close and intimate with the Plant People and give back to Mother Earth. This connection on and of itself is healing to all people and the planet! 

The course will commence December 12th, 2019, and will take place on a bi-weekly basis, to a total of 24 sessions throughout the year. 

Tuition fee: $1,666 USD, or up to 12 payments of $150 each (total of $1,800).  
Exact dates and locations for the sessions will be handed to participants after signing up.

The tea interpretation of Charisma is so realistic you will be convinced you are drinking the perfume. Premium jasmine green tea is perfumed in the fhe ancient Chinese tradition by layering wilted green tea leaves with fresh jasmine sambac flowers. The flowers are replaced with fresh ones several times until the tea leaves are utterly fragrant. Organically grown and handpicked lemon verbena and spearmint from Ayala's home village in northern Israel add a pure and refreshing lift; and osmanthus blossoms add a round floral-apricoty finish. Charisma tea will transport you to a dewy herb garden at sunrise, the perfect spot to sip your tea! The tea is packaged in our new large tea tin, and can be re-steeped up to 4 times. You will be able to make as many as 300 tea cups from this tin!
