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.
About your host!My name is Moni - I am an artist, apiarist and alchemist. Over the past 10 years, my journey with the bees has profoundly shaped my creative process, allowing me to explore the magic and alchemy of the hive. With 15+ years as a designer working for some of the biggest brands, I continue to channel that creativity into crafting fun, colourful creations and rituals inspired by the bees and made with intention.
Workshop Overview:
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. A one of a kind experience.
