A ceremonial space for you to connect to the spirit & healing medicine of Cacao & Mugwort (Artemisia Vulgaris / Gråbynke)

Artemisia (aka mugwort aka Gråbynke) is a queen of plants, a magical witchy plant connected to the moon, and used for centuries by wise medicine men and women. This masterplant is one of the most magical witchy herbs we know!

Mugwort

Mugwort has been used as a magical and medicinal herb for thousands of years. Known as the healer of the women, it has been used in rituals since humans first settled in Europe.

Growing wild in rural areas, it is considered by many to be a weed, but its medicine can lift us to higher realms. It is one of our most powerful plant allies, bringing clarity and awareness.

Ceremonial Cacao

Cacao has been used as a sacred plant medicine in rituals, ceremonies and rites of passage for many thousands of years in south and central America. It is an amazing and profoundly healing plant medicine - both gentle, powerful and enjoyable!

In this ceremony we will work with cacao as a sacred door opener into the world of Mugwort.

The energy of cacao can be like a mother - so grounded, so loving, so deeply nourishing and connected to the earth. It is a wise, ancient and powerful plant medicine.

Cacao allows us to deepen into whatever practice or connection intentionally work with. Some comes to our ceremonies to reconnect to their hearts. Others comes for a pause, a resting place between the sometimes stressed everyday life. Others come to connect deeper with the healing energy, wisdom and medicine of nature. Whatever perspective you come from you are welcome.

The Ceremony

Guided by the loving spirit of Mugwort & Cacao, acoustic music and the energy of the winter darkness slowly creaping in, we will gather and journey inwards. This is an opportunity for giving yourself a pause, a rest, a little oasis of medicine with whatever you need at that moment in the soft embrace of the spirit of Cacao, singing and the shamanic drum. A space where you can allow yourself to be present with exactly what is right for you at that moment.
