FOR THE FOLK: MONTHLY MEET-UP with FRANKIE CASTANEA, AUGUST-MUGWORT
$30.00
Limit 4 per order
AUGUST MEETUPS - August 10th, 7pm - 9pm
Mugwort / Dreamwork / Protection / Mothers
This month, we will be meeting our first plant teacher: Mugwort - a teacher of dreaming, protection, and cultivating comfort. We will meet Mugwort in live form, learn about her preparations, her role in dreaming, protection, and connection to the mothers. We will sit with her, learn about how she can aid us, including a plant meditation, and learn more about her medicinal and magical properties. This meetup will work with Mugwort as a framework for exploring working with dreams, calling in protection, and working with matriarchs.
Participants are encouraged to work with the plant throughout the month before our next meetup, where we will have a quick sharing circle on our experiences from the month before.
For the Folk is a monthly meetup and community space rooted in reconnection, collective care, and the necessity-based magic that often accompanies the magic of the people and the things we do.
This group meets (on the second Saturday or second Sunday) of each month. Each month focuses on a plant ancestor for learning, integrating community medicine, folk magic, and centering on informal transmission of knowledge to support reconnection to human and non-human ancestors.
All of these gatherings are led by the plant ancestors - where they want to take us, what they want to teach us, and how they want to show up for you. Because of this, our outlines in the descriptions are subject to change. We ask that you come open to meet the plant teachers in whatever they feel you need in this moment.
For the Folk is strictly anti-fascist, rooted in collective liberation, right relationship, and we continue to work to develop our tenants to support a variety of people in their unique journey.
