The Melissae’s World Bee Day Ceremony
Thu, May 19, 12–2pm Pacific Time
A growing number of people seek to interact with the honey bee in a deep way. There is awe in their voices as they speak of their sweet humbleness after sharing liminal space with them. Many commune with honey bees in an artistic way, ceremonial way, through performance, art, plant medicine. What is emerging is a distinct culture, a unique vision and fecund vocabulary, expressed through influential music, dreams, archetypes, and activism.
The Melissae (bee priestesses) invite you to participate in a simple set of ceremonial practices, so that together we may grow in awareness of the honey bee. After years of study and personal development, each of our presenters has special ways by which they honor bees in their lives. They will describe these discoveries and processes, and then, if you wish, we will all perform a ceremony of offering, forgiveness, and love to our pollinator family in celebration of World Bee Day (May 20).
About The Melissae
Laura Bee Ferguson, founder and director of The College of the Melissae, invites Rahibe (alumni) and members of the school’s network to share glimpses into their inner musings and spiritual studies with honey bees. Each has discovered lines of understanding that, seemingly self-discovered, also exist collectively. This synchronicity and unity is helping to provide a framework for a renewed animistic look at our relationship with Nature, one another, ourselves, as well as the world around us.
