Wise Women BeekeePers
is a collective of people, projects and efforts to support the health honeybees and Earth
Our mission is to live in Peace, harmony and Balance with Earth as the Bees do.
Our Focus is on Regenerative, Bee-Centered Practices that support all pollinators and perpetuation of true honey bee health. The bees as our Teachers provide great wisdom and connection to the Earth and how to live in balance . Many of our practices are rooted in the wise Women and Melissae Ways that promote Intuition and reverence in Sacred Beekeeping or bee-Tending. Our Programs and efforts range from Non-Profit programs centered around putting bees in schools for youth or building food resiliency in our local community
Offerings and Services
Our vision is to see the bees thriving once again in healthy, diverse, and abundant landscapes. We are devoted to inspiring and training ethical beekeepers, Melissae, bee-tenders, and conservationists who walk with reverence for the honeybee and serve as guardians of living food systems that nourish generations to come.
For more than a century, industrial practices have brought great harm to the bees, just as they have to the land. Yet within this time of challenge lies an invitation to remember another way.
Our work is to restore a path of harmony, balance, and right relationship with the bees, the land, and the living world. Through care, knowledge, and reverence, we seek to cultivate a future where the bees flourish, Hawaiʻi thrives, and the Earth is honored as a sacred home for all life.

Jenny has devoted her life to the sacred practices of keeping bees. Jenny has studied shamanic and ancient beekeeping in Europe and has cultivated her beekeeping training around using intuition, magic and ceremony.
Jenny will weave together the ancient wise woman practices, later known as witch, with present day beekeeping. She will initiate a training program during this retreat for womb-havers to develop deep knowing of intuition while working directly with live bee hives and using ceremonial practices related to the Melissae.

"If you are feeling the buzz, stop and listen to the call.
I would highly recommend bee-ing part of Spiritual Beekeeping for women on your journey with the bees.
It is a rich combination of sisterhood, self-reflection and healing, bee integration and education, and time on the beautiful island of Hawaii.
Truly a special experience to deepen your path of tending and caring for the bees."

"A multi-sensory, multi-dimensional activation for those who yearn to deepen in devotion of stewardship of the Earth through the lense of the bees.
Amazing teachers, and a heavenly environment to deepen into the body of self and the unified field."

"This is a powerful retreat that will satisfy your longing to sit among sisters and work with bees in a deep healing and life enhancing way.
Itʻs a step into next level Earth stewardship and the rising of the divine feminine in each one of us.
It was a perfect blend of earthy roots simplicity and luxury accommodations with decadent ceremonies. I definitely feel less intimidated by the immensity and responsibility of caring for and working with the bees."

"I had an interest in learning about bees and also looking for a chance to get away and relax physically and emotionally.
This was a very well run retreat with plenty of spiritually focussed practices, as well as some instructions on beekeeping. This is not a course on the technicalities on beekeeping, but rather a retreat to connect with your female self, other sisters, the beautiful mother Earth and how it is all connected by understanding the way of the bee."

"If you are not from the Hawaiian island and always wanted to go AND you love or keep bees, this is an AMAZING experience. The women leading the retreat were so knowledgeable and combine their teachings with such love and kindness. I did not know anyone going into the retreat and now have more sisters from far and wide. Iʻve been a beekeeper for 5 years and was trained "traditionally". A lot of the practices I was taught felt quite exploitative of our precious bees.
This retreat taught the more spiritual aspect of being a bee guardian. Now I consider myself a gentle partner of the bees. I feel more able to meet the bees where they have been desiring."

"This was my first retreat.
It has been more effective than I ever expected.
The timing is like divine intervention for me.
I now feel like I can see my true path opening.
All the aspects we worked with: movenment, massage, song/chant, good food, medicine, and honey has brought me into a new profound state of balance and clarity of sight.
I am deeply grateful and humbled to be here."
