Ariella Daly- The Wild & The Sacred Beekeeping With The Sacred Feminine

How is the honey bee connected to the feminine? And how does following the bees through ancient myth support dismantling patriarchy?

Meet my guest is, Ariella Daly- she is a dream weaver and bee tender. She's devoted to both the physical and the spirit world, and she synthesizes natural beekeeping, shamanism, dream work, and earth activism through writing workshops and teaching.

Her work combines firsthand knowledge of the honeybee species with an intimate understanding of European bee shamanism. She's known for helping people connect to the wild and sacred through their relationship with bees, nature, the sacred feminine, and the inherent intuition of the body.

At this time - we are in dire need of remembering our own sense of belonging and relationship to the more than human world. And we're looking for how to heal, reconnect, and remember.

Is it possible that other species, ancestors, and myths are seeking us as much as we are seeking them? People are often drawn to Ariella because they are interested in bees and perhaps have a spiritual calling, or perhaps they want to keep bees in a more natural way. But I specifically wanted to bring Ariella onto this episode because of her capacity and talent for dream weaving. I’ve heard her speak in the past, and you'll notice that when she speaks. She weaves a tapestry of mythology, story, and current events in with her work with the bees, and she's most definitely a bridge for tapping more deeply into the mystery that is always right here, She reminds us what we've forgotten- which is how to read the signs and see the symbols and follow that mysterious, generative, feminine energy that is always an invitation to reveal more.
