“The Incense Journey with John was an exquisite sensational experience, unlike anything I’ve ever done before. He is truly a master. It was quite literally a journey into the senses and far beyond. Not only did it evoke play and a deeper level of presence for our entire group, but it also took me on a spiritual olfactory quest into uncharted realms. I deeply enjoyed it and look forward to journeying again with a sharpened level of perception. It brought to life one of my favorite quotes: The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for your senses to grow sharper. Thank you for showing me the magic, John!”

“I have been lucky enough to experience the blessings of the traditional Japanese incense ceremony (Kodo) and The Incense Journey facilitated by John Launius, a multifaceted inspirational teacher and human being.
John shares his knowledge of the ancient tradition and history of how incense has been used throughout the world for elevation, courage, healing, and centering. He shares wonderful stories that make us laugh and open up. He generously shares the finest incense that he has gathered through his world travel, which has a very potent energetic effect without the toxicity of store-bought incense. John asks thoughtful questions that allow for compassionate inquiry after each round of various incense offerings, each creating a very different impact. Step by step we are led through an olfactory healing experience that unravels the knots in the psyche and opens the heart to more love. Thank you John for an incredible unfolding experience. I can’t wait until we do it again!”

“John led a group of leaders through a traditional, Japanese incense ceremony for us (called Kodo). Not only is John an incredible teacher and wisdom keeper, he is also an incredible human being.
Each time that I am with John, I learn something new. He is not only an incredible teacher, he is also kind, humble, generous, loving, patient, and funny! He is an amazing story-teller. He is able to take complex material and make it simple, which is a true testimony of his years of study, his mastery, and his excellence.
As for the ceremony itself, it is extraordinary. The sensation created by these ancient fragrances is magical. Who knew that our sense of smell could be so transportive? Our spirits were swept away to long, forgotten places where nothing else remained but a vast field of peace, ease, calm, and steady knowingness that there is a larger order at work.
I cannot recommend this experience more highly; I cannot imagine a better teacher than John to lead it. ”
