This is a rare opportunity to join Ulrike and Annelieke in a new moon venom ceremony, receiving the wisdom of this powerful medicine through sting, oral or vibrational medicine. We will weave our ceremonial work with time spent in company of the bee colonies living with us.

The Venom Deva is a healer and an initiator. Venom is an immunostimulant and psychoactive substance which spurs the expansion of consciousness. It stimulates the self-healing capacities of the body by helping it to mobilise its own resources to deal with imbalances and to re-establish homeostasis.

Counter to what is generally believed, a bees can free herself after gifting her precious venom gift. We notice a growing capacity of the bees who live with us to do so. It is also possible to help the bee retrieving her stinger, soft apipuncture.

Dive into the essence and spirit of propolis using a process that is both practical and sensual: trituration. We enter the field of understanding and experiencing without words. Our intuitive and telepathic being awakens and connects to the medicine and wisdom of this magical substance.

Trituration is an ancient technique using pestle and mortar. Our practice is rooted in homeopathy and ceremony. Grinding as prayer, matter refined, essence released.

Between trituration rounds, we sit with the bee colonies who live here with us. This time anchors our work in the living intelligence of the hive. We let the bees teach our senses to listen beyond sound: to vibration, scent, and subtle knowing. Returning to the mortar, what we receive at the hives weaves with the medicine of the propolis.

We meet in a small circle. The work is both individual and collective: each participant present with their own prayer and receptivity, yet held by the group. As the pestle moves in spirals, our shared attention turns with it, weaving a stronger field. In this field, what is revealed can go deeper. The healing potential of the work is enriched and amplified.

Annelieke and Ulrike are your hosts and facilitators, orienting our circle, leading the ceremony and introducing you to the bees.

The Hive Experience is an immersive journey exploring the deeper lessons of the hive — both around us and within us.

Through teachings, practices, community, and guided experiences, we will dive deep into the magic of the beehive and explore how to apply its wisdom to our lives.

This online course is led and held with love and passion by Sandira Belia, author of Bee Wisdom: Teachings from the Hive.
