This will be an introductory workshop to dreamwork through the lens of animism and working with the plant spirit mugwort / artemisia vulgaris for deepening our relationship to our dreams.

Emotional well-being and the way in which we interface with the world is often the most overlooked component in any healing program. In many instances, our emotional blocks and stressors are what drive chronic imbalance in the body. In a very real way, stress (as defined as anything that overwhelms our ability to cope) depletes our bodies of essential nutrients, disrupts the normal functioning of cellular communication and inhibits proper movement through our meridian system.

Kinesiology is a form of manual bio-feedback that can utilise muscle resistance testing to identify emotional blocks to healing.

This workshop focuses on films that dive into the mystical aspects of an herbal practice/mysticism in a modern context.

When it comes to movies it’s easy for magic to be shown as something outside of our lives. “Movie Magic” aka special effects and high budget tricks allow us to see a large spectacle rather than the mundane magic we would face in our everyday life. Though this list will have some movies with some large props or effects it looks to highlight films that play with the mundane in their efforts to showcase this magic.

This presentation pulls information from The Artist's Way to speak about the importance of creativity in healing. Folks will take away plant partners they can work with and exercises to do to activate their own creativity.
