Maravilhamento: A Solstice invitation
A Bee-inspired afternoon brought together by film maker Silvia das Fadas in São Luís, Alentejo, Portugal
An invitation to the Sense of Wonder (MARAVILHAMENTO), in celebration of the Bee Spirit and the Winter Solstice. English and Portuguese.
“Bees want us to know them in a new and deeper way,” and I heard their call and devoted my attention to a network of wise women who are on a path of research and reverence for wild honeybees, in a collective attempt at co-creation and healing. An initiation that now manifests as Offerings of Listening and Vision for interspecies flourishing.
Um convite ao MARAVILHAMENTO, numa celebração do Espírito das Abelhas e do Solstício de Inverno.
«As abelhas querem que as conheçamos de uma forma nova e mais profunda», e eu ouvi o seu chamado e devotei a minha atenção a uma rede de mulheres sábias que se encontram numa trajetória de investigação e reverência para com as abelhas melíferas selvagens, numa tentativa colectiva de co-criação e cura. Uma iniciação, que agora se traduz em Oferendas de Escuta e de Visão para um florescimento interespécies.
