A unique workshop that blends the spiritual with the practical, exploring the rich folklore, history, symbolism, rituals and timeless connections between humans and bees. You’ll immerse yourself in an array of intentional crafts using materials imbued with alchemy from the hive to create your own rituals, inspired by the magic of the bees. You will learn about ancient traditions and the mystical element that bees have enchanted cultures for centuries.
As we delve into the alchemy of the bees, we will learn about beeswax, propolis, pollen, bee-friendly flowers and honey - all of which are powerful, transformative, earth-infused mediums. In this workshop, we will craft an array of tools, inspired by ancient traditions and folklore, that harness the power of the hive, to use in your own rituals and ceremonies. You will create:
Beeswax candles
A Wildflower smudge stick
Propolis Incense
Protective Pollen talisman
Honey Infusion
Set against the backdrop of our funky, colourful Studio in Surrey, which coincidently sits above our honey and wax processing workshop! We keep our group small so expect personalised guidance and plenty of space to let your creativity shine.
Please come in comfortable attire. Anything you won’t mind getting a little waxy!
What we will provide:
All materials and tools needed to craft your bee inspired rituals.
Help yourself to ‘unlimited’ tea and cake throughout the day! (IMPORTANT - Please let me know of any dietary requirements beforehand). End the day with our homemade mead or our homemade non-alcoholic honey cordial, celebrating the ancient connection between bees, honey, wax and Mother Earth.
Honouring the Hive
Our day will culminate with a ritual to honour the bees and offer gratitude to these remarkable creatures. Together, we’ll celebrate the bees with intention, creating a personal connection to these ancient art forms, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for these incredible pollinators.
