Hi again! So, it's June~ and for some reason this midsummer moment almost always finds me writing. Well, to be honest - writing and planning and doing and generally shaping the scheme of things for dozens of projects and initiatives that somehow insist on being born at this special moment when the sun is approaching the height of its summer presence and the subsequent turning-around; when the bees start to turn their attention from building the comb that will define their size for the winter to come and toward collecting and ripening the nectar that will become their winter honey.
Let the scope of that run-on-sentence be an indicator of how fast things go in June- there's so much to do there's little time for punctuation!
And so here I go too - to stretch the analogy, I also have been building up what I need in preparation to fill it with substance which I hope to tend and ripen for the nourishment of myself and my community in the future that is always moving toward us.
What I have built instead of comb is experience, which has influenced the form that Full Circle Sanctuary is taking as it moves from concept into physical presence. I will talk a lot more about that in the near future but here's a glimpse:
In the time since I last posted regularly, my partner and I have moved from upstate NY to southwestern Virginia, where we are stewarding a very special 11+ acres of meadow and forest near the honeybee sanctuary where I was trained and now work. What I hope to put into this "comb" (yes, I am going to take this analogy to its limits), instead of nectar, is observations, images, wonderings, and insights; it is my hope that they will ripen through a practice as close to living thinking as I can manage on any given day.
You will have noticed by now that regularity with posting has not been my strong suit. Part of this has been due to the flurry of activity that major life changes bring, and a greater part to the fact that I am wired in such a way that I easily become flummoxed but the tech world - how accounts are connected, whether or not they should be, how to streamline All The Things, and so on. I hope to enlist the help of friends who are more tech savvy and/or differently wired to help me out in that regard.
In the meantime, I have been collecting my responses to a lot of posts in a variety of beekeeping groups, with this idea that maybe, just maybe, they want to be little sproutling blogposts. You remember neesbees.org, right?

“to come full circle, enter the center”

We believe that whole-being wellness is fostered when we can engage with what is external to us (the world) from that which is at our still, sacred core. To that end, we hold sanctified space for the exploration of a wide array of modalities, traditions, and practices that promote the wellbeing of humans as well as the Earth and her creatures. An ever-emerging resource for practitioners and seekers alike, we bring people together to explore many facets of healing, personal growth, and planetary stewardship.

As a participating teacher, I draw from a broad range of experience, including: sacred center ceremony, essential oils, energy modalities, body/breathwork, wordsmithing, and Biodynamic beekeeping. My primary collaborator combines a love of natural food production and preparation with a canny knack for creating beautiful spaces in natural settings. As space-holders we invite other practitioners, whose work we’ve experienced, to share their events and offerings in this online space while we bring the next phase into being.

We have incubated several projects that spring from this vision, many of which have their own pages and/or groups. These include “flourish with us (oilpeeps tribe)” for our essential oils folks, “hearthwife” for projects and contemplations on simple living, and “nee’s bees”, which chronicles my calling and ongoing journey to become a biodynamic beekeeper.

In the interest of transparency, it’s most accurate to say that as “full circle center” we currently host small gatherings in our homes or rented spaces, as we are in-the-process-of-becoming a physical Center with a specific geographic location... imagine a Nature-based Retreat Center whose buildings are built sustainably from natural materials, with indoor and outdoor workshop/ceremonial spaces for hosting events which include an array of spiritual traditions, healing modalities, and sustainability practices, with a Biodynamic honeybee sanctuary at its heart... we are in the “scouting locations” phase, which will be followed by the fundraising phase (because our present abundance is in what we offer more than what we have stored away and we are clear this center needs to happen, we are moving forward).
