This week we’re reflecting on two very different experiences that gave us very similar take-aways. Sue Ellen hosted a workshop to remember the ancestors and Savanna attended a workshop on pelvic and womb care.. We both walked away with the lesson that it all comes back to again and again, remembering to love. If you can listen with love you’ll hear the yes when you need to and trust the no’s when they arise.

This week we’re talking imagination and intuition, really we think they’re kind of one and the same, and how important it is that we use them! It’s not a “use it or loose it” situation, they’re never lost to us. Sometimes we just have to remember to tap back in.

Sue Ellen shares an old Inuit poem called Magic Words

What if we could learn to shift from idolizing interdependence rather than independence? What would change if we could learn to co-evolve in our relationships and embrace the value of community? The honeybees have done just that and we could learn a lesson or two from them!
We’re joined by the extraordinary ordinary teacher and beekeeper Thea Vierling to get into all things honeybees 🐝
