I’m Evan Sylliaasen. Back in my early 20's I discovered the power of resins through incense and aromatherapy. I then learned how to craft them into other extra-potent medicinal and aromatic preparations. I felt like I unlocked a special key to the natural world of healing by tapping into these powerful, gem-like substances.

Through my work with my company Higher Mind Incense and my school, The Northwest School of Aromatic Medicine, I’ve seen beginner medicine makers encounter the same problems over and over when working with resins. There are basics you must understand about these complex substances that can make working with them much easier.

That’s why I created The Botanical Resins & Gums Course and put everything I have into it. I cover every aspect of working with resins across various aromatic and medicinal practices. This leaves you with a complete experience and many avenues to pursue crafting to your heart’s content.
