Description
Come and spend a magical evening with Mugwort. Mugwort has been the herb of dreamers, seers and wise women for centuries, a plant ally reached for to open intuition, deepen dreams, and connect with the unseen. This midsummer evening, we gather to meet her.
In the beautiful setting of Abington Woods, sitting in circle in the cosy geodome, we’ll explore this ancient herb’s rich history and quiet power. Together we’ll share a mugwort tea ceremony while I tell you the stories, lore and medicine of this remarkable plant. You’ll craft your own mugwort smudge stick, a lovely tool for cleansing your space, along with a mugwort and lavender dream pillow to slip beneath your own pillow at home. Then I’ll guide you on a gentle drum journey to meet the spirit of mugwort herself, and to receive whatever insight she has for you, before we close.
This evening is for anyone curious about herbal wisdom and longing to deepen their connection with the plant and natural world, and with their own inner knowing. It’s a chance to slow down, tune in, and remember that you are part of the living world around you. I’d love for you to join our circle for this special summer gathering.
