"Mugwort opens up chambers of ancient memory within the brain, bringing to one's dream life stirring visions of past and future that overflow with magical imagery. The symbols that dance through your Mugwort-touched dreams pull out the cobwebs of our forgetfulness and assist us in remembering old, unwritten ways of healing and living that attend to the needs of spirit and soul." Judith Berger, Herbal Rituals.
Maggie Rose and I are hosting this candlelit evening Mugwort tea ceremony, to thaw out from the ice and darkness of Winter and to warm-up towards the light of Summer.
Ostara or Spring Equinox is a potent time of year to banish what no longer serves, to call in what we need, and to celebrate Mother Earth and Green Man. Mugwort, Sound and Gongs can assist with this, making space for new growth and alignment.
So, we ask ourselves…What do we need to banish to allow new growth? What do we need to feed our seeds and shoots to help them to grow healthy and strong? Are there any new seeds to be sown?
This event will suit anyone who:
wants to celebrate Spring Equinox
wants to set intentions for the next cycle/season
wants to release/banish obstructions and resistances that no longer serve
needs guidance on how to nurture ideas, healing, projects, etc
needs healing, alignment and grounding
wishes to connect with plant wisdom, Mother Nature
wishes to connect with sound medicine
has female hormone related issues
wishes to open up to innate healing abilities

About Sound and Gong Baths
A gong bath stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system - the space where healing takes place
'Re-tunes' and clears stuck energy.
