Women Intuitive Beekeeping Retreat in Hawaii
With Jenny Bach, Alison Yahna and Colee Garr
January 12 - 19, 2027
Join us for the Wise Woman Spiritual Beekeeping Retreat and Training, on the beautiful & enchanting Hamakua Coast, Hawaii Island.
This 6 night, 7 day retreat and training will train women to become sisters of the hive, and bee guardians and learn the sacred intuitive art of keeping bees using the most gentle practices.
This retreat will integrate the understandings and practices of ancient Melissae tradition combined with intuitive beekeeping practices.
We will work with live beehives daily, practice yoga, receive bodywork, eat amazing catered meals and develop self-intuitive powers that can be used in our daily lives to create more joy and abundance.
There is an ancient saying, “bees find their keepers”- are you being called?
We will focus on themes of arrival, ground, and ascend in this retreat.
This retreat will be healing and activating in essence. Components of the retreat will work with live beehives to cultivate the skill of beekeeping while also cultivating devotional practices related to honoring the sacred bees, the Great Mother, and Divine Feminine.
Apiary work (Beekeeping)
We will train sisters to work with bees to become beekeepers/guardians using Intuitive and Holistic practices.
We will spend time opening hives and understanding the colony and their needs. We will work bee hives daily. All levels of beekeeping are welcome. This retreat and training are for beginning and experienced beekeeping sisters.
Temple Work and Devotion:
We will spend time in the temple to develop a deeper intuitive nature through the practices of the Melissae and Wise Woman traditions.
There is an intricate weaving of rituals combined with tending and caring for bees that will enhance our connection and skill as beekeepers/guardians.
The ceremonial, ritual, and devotional work will naturally activate our own healing, bringing forth more magic in our lives.
Activating
The training will be intensive as we work with live bee hives while using devotional rituals and ceremonies. Sisters will gain skills to work with bee colonies, using gentle intuitive practices that ultimately support the revered honey bee and cultivate harmony, cohesion, and oneness between beekeeper and colony.
Instructors are skilled to teach this uncommon practice of intuitive and gentle beekeeping.
Healing
Bodywork, daily yoga, womb keeper wisdom, and sisterhood connection will allow you to dive into relaxation and healing as we develop our intuitive self.
The retreat Center offers deep relaxation, beauty, and safety as we explore the healing properties of keeping bees while activating Wise Woman Magic and Manifestation.
Join us in the act of bringing the magic of manifestation using the power of infinity, timelessness, and earth energy during this week-long retreat that will be memorable and deeply healing.
