There is an ancient saying, “bees find their keepers”- are you being called?

 

Join us October 7-12, 2024  for the Wise Woman Spiritual Beekeeping Retreat, Initiation Course on Hawaii Island.  This 5 night, 6 day retreat will train womb-havers to become sisters of the hive, bee guardians and learn the sacred intuitive art of keeping bees using the most gentle practices. This retreat will integrate the understandings and practices of ancient Melissae tradition combined with intuitive beekeeping practices.  All levels of beekeeping are welcome.

​

The Initiation course is the first training in the Melissea series and is prerequisite/required before joining the second training. 

 

The January 2025 Retreat/Training : 

We will be hosting the second series Melissae Course.  You must complete the Initiation course before attending this training.

​

What we will do: 

There is no other retreat like this.  The Wise Woman Spiritual Beekeeping Retreat offers an integrated approach to train womb-havers, sisters to care for bees using intuitive beekeeping practices while cultivating our own intuitive nature to guide our own lives. 

 

In-field training sessions: Apiary work 

We will train sisters to work with bees to become beekeepers/guardians.  We will spend time opening hives, understanding the colony and their needs.  We will work bee hives daily, weather dependent. All levels of beekeeping are welcome. This retreat and training is for beginners and experienced beekeeping sisters.

 

 

Temple work and devotion: 

We will spend time in the temple to develop a deeper intuitive nature through the practices of the Melissae and Wise Woman traditions and ceremonial work.  There is an intricate weaving of ritual combined with tending and caring for bees that will enhance our connection and skill as beekeepers/guardians.  The ceremonial, ritual and devotional work will naturally activate our own healing, bringing forth more magic in our lives. 

 

 

Note: Wise women were known as healers, herbalists, foreseers, midwives and beekeepers in past European civilizations. The term Witch was later derived and used during witch trials and persecution. 

 

THEME: 

 

 Components of the retreat will work with live bee hives to cultivate the skill of beekeeping while also cultivating devotional practices related to honor the sacred bees, the Great Mother and Divine Feminine.  

We will focus on themes of arrive, ground and ascend in this retreat. This retreat will be healing and activating in essence.

 

Activating:  The training will be intensive as we work with live bee hives while using devotional  rituals and ceremonies.  Sisters will gain skills to work with bee colonies, using gentle intuitive practices that ultimately support the revered honey bee and cultivate harmony, cohesion and oneness between beekeeper and colony. Instructors are skilled to teach this uncommon practice of intuitive and gentle beekeeping. 

 

Healing:  Bodywork, yoga, womb keeper wisdom and sisterhood connection will allow you to dive into relaxation and healing as we develop our intuitive self.  The retreat Center offers deep relaxation, beauty and safety as we explore the healing properties of keeping bees while activating Wise Woman Magic and Manifestation.
