Mugwort Dieta

Calling all sensitive ones,
those that find themselves at a crossroads or liminal space in life...

Are you experiencing the mystery of stagnancy in your body, mind, or spirit?

Do you know there is a depth of inner intuitive wisdom that is waiting in be accessed?

Are you curious about herbalism and communicating with the more than human world?

Mugwort welcomes you to illuminate your inner vision, open your physical and energetics channels, and flow with more ease to create the life of your dreams!

In the northern hemisphere, this time is known as the thinning of the veils. Mugwort is here to guide the way...

Who is Mugwort?

Latin Name: "Artemisia Vulgaris," named after the Goddess Artemis

and aka, Moonwort or Cronewort

Mugwort is a plant that grows all around the world, finding itself as a roadside trademark throughout cities and along edges of forests alike.

Connecting with this plant is known for increasing our intuitive knowing, remembering dreams, regulating menses, easing muscle ache, increasing digestive health, and supporting us as we move through major life transitions.

I see this plant as initiating us into plant spirit connection in general - a gateway plant if you’d like because it can connect us to the more than human realm.

A few associations and actions: nervine (regulates nervous system), digestive bitter (increasing digestive fire), energetically protective (warding off unwanted energies, even physical due to antifungal & antiparasitic properties), female reproductive support

What is a dieta?

Dieta means “diet” in Spanish, and has roots in the herbal ways of welcoming in and intentionally communing with a plant physically as well as the spirit of the plant. Traditionally in South America, a dieta is done in complete immersion, away from any outside distraction, meditating with the plant in some form of isolation.

By both introducing this plant into your everyday life, as well as refraining from certain distractions of your choosing, the wisdom of the plant can be deeply imbued into your mind, body, spirit. This experience helps you to foster a relationship with the plant in a way that can be accessed for the rest of your life.

3 Parts to this Immersion

1) Work with the plant daily for two weeks

You will receive a box of handcrafted mugwort preparations!

(such as: tea, a dreampillow, oil, flower essence)

2) Abstain in order to commune

Commit to limiting distractions in order to tune into your inner world

Plants “speak” in a language that can only be heard when our senses are developed to the subtleties of life. When we gift ourselves a few weeks to limit some of the physical & energetic distraction we face daily, we are better to receive the guidance from the plants, our bodies, and spirit.

HIGHLY ENCOURAGED: No alcohol or recreational drugs

OPTIONAL: No TV, social media, processed food, etc.

Meet Your Guide

Hi, I am Nicole Stratis, a plant enthusiast and folk herbalist. I've been walking the herbal path since 2017 and Mugwort was one of the first plants that initiated me into my herbal studies as it supported me in my journey with PMS and overall menstrual health. Over the years in my bodywork practice that specializes in abdominal massage and craniosacral therapy, this plant has come in so often

to support my clients - from herbal oils to plant spirit medicine.

Although I have taught about this plant in a few workshops, I feel like I am finally answering the call to bring forth a container for a deeper dive with Mugwort in a way that it has been asking for. Many people can benefit profoundly from this plant ally and my prayer is to provide the space for people to meet this plant in an authentic, life changing way or to clarify and deepen their existing relationship with Mugwort.

And it is with respect and reverence for the traditions of the south that "diet" with plants that I share this container. My time in the Amazonian jungle in 2018 on a master plant teacher dieta has been a backbone for how I've been guided to work with plants, the land, and community. I'm devoted to continue learning on this path of love, listening, and reciprocity.
