Description
Many transformations become visible in the hive as the days become shorter and the bees prepare for winter. All students and friends of Spikenard are invited to join in three days of gratitude and celebration of the bees, the landscape, and our own inner transformation. Three days of special lectures, art and music making, tending of sanctuary land, and special experiences of the seasonal rhythms through the bees!
One central activity of this festival workshop is learning Beelining… a traditional method of attracting and then following bees in the field to locate wild beehives! It is such an incredible experience, that is not only very fun and useful, but also gives us a completely new perspective of the foraging activity of the hive.
In another special activity for this festival, we will join our friends and neighbors at JPI (the Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics) in making and burying the autumn biodynamic preparations!
Homemade organic snacks and lunch are provided throughout the workshop.
