Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a plant long revered for its gentle psychoactive properties. Known to deepen the connection with the subconscious, it offers a gateway into the rich terrain of our dream world. On September 28, 2025, we carried out a collective daydream ritual in the garden of the Four Siblings Collective. Guided by artist and herbalist Zakia el Abodi, we explored the medicinal properties of mugwort, daydreamt together and reflected on dreaming as a portal into more-than-human worlds.
