The Hive Experience Journey

We will travel through the living wisdom of the hive, using each theme as a mirror and source of insights for our own inner landscapes and collective experience.

Week 1

THE HIVE ~ A Fantastic Superorganism

In this session we will explore the underlying forces that shape collective intelligence and the mysteries hidden behind the five eyes of the honeybee, and journey from darkness into light in an opening ritual.

Week 2

MALLEABLE STRUCTURE ~ Beeswax Wonders

Wax creates form while remaining flexible. This week explores sacred geometry and the relationship between structure and adaptability, and how healthy containers can support growth rather than limit it.

Week 3

IDENTITY ~ Awesome Propolis

Propolis protects, seals, and creates boundaries. Together, we will explore the various ways to use this unique substance and what it can teach us about identity, healthy boundaries, protection, and what we choose to let in or keep out.

Week 4

YIN-YANG POLARITY ~ Honey & Pollen

Honey and pollen are the essential fuels of the hive, created through a complex alchemy. This week, we explore these gifts of the hive and what they teach us about polarity and the dance of energies within us and between us.

Week 5

INITIATION ~ Mystical Venom

Bee venom is the most complex and transformative substance of the hive. We will meet its spirit and let it guide us through an initiatory journey of death and rebirth.

Week 6

INTEGRATION ~ Sovereignty and Unity

The journey culminates with a collective practice in which each participant experiences themselves as part of a living, dynamic system, and receives personal insights to support the integration of their unique journey.

Week 4 – Desiree

The Hive Experience – A keeper of old bee wisdom

Netta Caligari, Apitherapist, Beekeeper, Founder of The Apiarian Home

“Sandira teaches like a keeper of old bee wisdom, someone who has walked through the element of fire and come back to share the magic of the honeybee’s gifts with us all. She creates a warm and welcoming space that balances biology and spirituality, holding room for the physical benefits while never losing the deeper purpose underneath—our connection to the honeybee. I left the session feeling informed and emotionally moved, with a deeper respect for our relationship to the bees, and to nature.”

The Hive Experience – A magical and vibrational moment

Nathalie

Thank you for the magical and vibrational moment I spent at your talk, and your programme is wonderful. I feel a strong resonance with your teaching, and the bee came into my life thanks to your book La Déva des Abeilles.

The Hive Experience – A powerful effect on me

Belinda

I really enjoyed your masterclass on bee venom. It did have a powerful effect on me. I fell asleep in the middle, it was more of a dream state. Then just as you were asking the bees for the energetic venom, I woke up, and actually felt something happen in my body as I was holding my LI4 point. I felt very emotional, and my nervous system was very calm. I am intrigued by the work you are doing.

The Hive Experience – Exactly how I feel and perceive the bees

Laura

So much of what you say about the bees is exactly how I feel and perceive them. I admire your confidence in expressing yourself and in valuing your own work, which is truly so valuable. I feel accompanied, and grateful for your existence.

The Hive Experience – Good to receive, like honey

Anaïs

I am very impressed by the clarity of your words and by your ability to structure and explain something that I perceive or know but had not realised in this way. Your transmissions are rich, accurate and precious. They allow me to understand what I observe and, of course, to learn more about the wonderful universe of the hive. It is good to receive, like honey! Thank you.

The Hive Experience – In awe and gratitude

Desiree

Thank you so much for this incredible medicine offering, Sandira. I remain in awe and gratitude for your gifts and am very much looking forward to going deeper in the Hive Experience.

The Hive Experience – Just what I needed to reopen my heart

Justine

Just a quick message to say how much I enjoyed today’s session. Thank you for holding such a wonderful space. It was just what I needed to ground myself and reopen my heart. Sending you lots of love and well done on another fantastic session.

The Hive Experience – Ready to be in communion with the bees

Linda

Thank you so much for the meditation during the bee venom medicine class this afternoon. I had been stressed for several days, very nervous because of different things. I have to go see the bees tomorrow, and right now I’m truly relaxed, as if cleansed of this anger, ready to be in communion with them and celebrate life!

The Hive Experience – The honey blessing

Katie

I really loved this class. The honey blessing was so much more powerful than I expected and it’s something I know I’ll always carry with me! Thank you so much.
