Awaken to the wisdom of dreams through this monthly community Dreaming Circle. Meditative exploration of dream material and ancient European shamanic practice (as based on the Lyceum - formerly know as Path of Pollen) will lay the foundation through which dreamers will come to know more fully both their own dreaming vessels, or body of dreams, as well as the collective dream held within the dream weave created when community dreams as a collective. While guidance and instruction will be given, and this work will build upon itself, newcomers are welcome any time.

PLEASE RSVP by emailing goldenwellapiaries(at)gmail.com

Takes place the evening after the Full Moon. All genders welcome. No experience necessary. $10 suggested donation. Rotating hosts of teachers including (but not limited to) Nicole Burke and women who have embarked upon the Voices of the Well apprenticeship.

VOICES OF THE WELL: EARTH AND WOMB WISDOM TEACHINGS
Women were once the known Voices of the Otherworld. We have the innate ability to speak for the voiceless, for the Earth, heavens and that which exists beyond the veil. We are living in a time where the reemergence of our voices is needed more than ever. In this bold exploration of women's wisdom ways, as based on Shamanic practices of the Path of Pollen, we’ll once again drink from the sacred well of feminine mystery in order to reconnect, reinvigorate and reclaim our voices and call forth the unfolding story of a new more vibrant and sacred reality. (2019 1 & 2nd year courses are underway, now taking applications for 2020, click through links to learn more)

We will explore ways of enhancing our ability to allow unlearned ways of knowing to surface in the body, discovering what we can experience about ourselves and others as both simple and complex movers.

European Honeybee Shamanism, also known as the Path of Pollen, is an ancient and ever changing gyno-centric tradition that exalts the sweet honeybee as a sacred glyph, teacher and guide. Through this introductory exploration of some of the secret practices held by this arcane tradition, we follow the wisdom of the bee in winged flight to move between worlds. In these ways, we come to know both the freedom and ecstacy resulting from deep communion with the unseen world around us, only to return to the sweet inner knowings discoverable in the dark depths of the Divine nektary within. We take pause as we move between this ingress and egress to embody the gnosis that flows forth as a result of the opening of this liminal doorway. (learn more, click image or title)
