Dreaming With Mugwort

Creative Time

Guiding Plant Energies with the Four Vessels

CTHQ

In this healing session, we will share Toltekatl and Andean centered wisdom for working with and building relations with plant medicine. We’ll then partner with mugwort through the elemental four vessels (fire, air, water, earth) to co-create powerful containers for our dreams and manifestations. This will include ingesting, meditating with, and journaling about mugwort. Participants will leave with mugwort bundles and tea blends to take home.This is a QTBIPOC centered space, but all are welcome to join. We ask participants to approach this Indigenous wisdom centered space with care and respect, being sure to name the lineages you learn from as a way of honoring these sacred paths.

About CosmologyscapeThis program is part of Creative Time’s public art commission <a href="https://creativetime.org/cosmologyscape/" title="https://creativetime.org/cosmologyscape/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cosmologyscape</a> by artists Alisha B Wormsley and Kite. The multimedia and participatory public art project, presented by Creative Time, is an invitation to the public to dream. Cosmologyscape seeks to harness the duality of dreams—as both individual tools of self-awareness and collective acts of imagination and world-building—and encourages the exploration of dreaming practices through an artist designed interface. How does it work? Take a nap, zone out, find your dream state. After that, visit <a href="http://www.cosmologyscape.com" title="http://www.cosmologyscape.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.cosmologyscape.com</a> to submit your dream, and if you need help dreaming, follow a Dream Path on the website designed by a group of interdisciplinary artists. The dreams shared with Cosmologyscape will then be translated algorithmically into a pattern derived from Lakota visual language and Black quilting references, represented first in a growing digital tapestry of our collective dreams, and ultimately, into a series of sculptures unveiled in the fall, designed for further rest and dreaming.
