Bee Church (April-August SERIES)
Bee Church is a golden hour series where we gather to honor the bees and the potent medicines they offer us!
Each gathering opens with a bee meditation, where you’ll bathe in the healing frequency of the hive and observe these incredible creatures up close. Onyx will then give a teaching on a seasonal bee medicine, which we will also explore through vibrational essence therapy and a sound bath journey. We will close each gathering by enjoying delicious honey cake and a seasonal beverage in the garden!
Attendees will receive their very own bee essence to take home (will vary depending on the hive medicine we are focusing on that month).
Gatherings may be purchased a la carte, or as a series (purchase all 5 and get 20% off with discount code: BEECHURCH).
