About the event
As autumn paints the landscape in fiery hues and whispers of winter dance through the air, step into the season's transformative energy, where harvest celebrations meet ancient wisdom and nature becomes our teacher.
Immerse yourself in the mystical world of mugwort, the sacred dream herb of moon goddess Artemis. We will explore how autumn herbs support our journey inward. We'll journey through the Celtic Wheel of the Year, discovering the profound significance of Samhain as nature's new year and the sacred time when the veil between worlds grows thin. Through hands-on crafting, you'll create your own ritual besom (witch's broom) using natural materials gathered from the farm, and design a personalized spell jar filled with crystals, herbs, and intentions to guide you through winter's reflective embrace.
Come learn and experience. We'll practice mugwort meditation, build ancestral altars with seasonal treasures, and explore body oiling rituals for deep autumn nourishment. Set in AOOA Farm's beautiful barn and surrounded by working gardens, you'll engage all your senses as we honor this season of harvest, release, and spiritual preparation.
Perfect for families and curious souls aged 10+, this workshop weaves together practical herbalism, creative ritual crafting, and seasonal wisdom in a supportive, magical environment. Leave with handmade tools, herbal knowledge, and a deeper connection to autumn's sacred rhythms.
