Join our resident Food Artist for some portal hopping at the Atina Foods Studio Kitchen, where we will enjoy mugwort infused food, make mugwort medicine and create ceremonial objects from this potent plant.

This is the first session of a 3 part series, “Artemisia Milagrosa - Grandmother Medicine”, a partnership between Daniela Rivero and Mugwort, while in residence at Atina Foods, 2024.

This session will offer a creative space to work with mugwort as a food, medicine, and as a Grandmother plant. Participants will enjoy a mugwort dish, make a medicine preparation, and create a spiritual object that can be used in ceremony. There will be space to reflect on our relationships with plants, and how they can be worked with to uplift our collective liberation.

Project Description:

"Artemisia Milagrosa - Grandmother Medicine"

Widely regarded as a common weed, Mugwort is a keeper of portals, and a generous relative that thrives in the margins. As plant medicine, they help to digest, metabolize, and clear illnesses and parasites. As a Grandmother plant, they nourish, cleanse, and protect our spirits, dreams, and emotional bodies. This project offers a practice of working closely with Mugwort through community events where participants will be invited into ceremony, relationship, and creative collaboration.
