Immerse yourself in the simple beauty of our rural life in South-West Alentejo, Portugal. This is a time to pause, rest and listen — to the bees, to ourselves, to the stillness.

Throughout this retreat, we will cultivate a state of “BeeTime”—where our actions, words, and thoughts attune with the hum of life. We will spend ample time in the presence of bee colonies, becoming a little “hive,” flowing in harmony with our own rhythms, the bees, and the weather. Surrounded by land and bees, we will nurture care for ourselves and one another.

Your Hosts and Facilitators: Annelieke van der Sluijs and Ulrike Krampen

We invite you in our bee practices for an initiatory journey. Through direct contact with bee colonies, sensory exercises, and nature-spirit connection, you are offered the opportunity to explore how your life — and possibly livelihood — can be nourished by bee wisdom. Each BeeShip weaves practical bee-care, ceremonial ritual, and community learning with the rhythm of the hive.

This offering builds on our deep relationship with the bees, the practices we have developed as the BeeWisdom team, and the interconnected, co-creative richness of our life journeys.
