Ariella Daly – Intentional Dreaming With European Bee Shamanism

Your dreams are a world you can cultivate.

By working with the honeybees as guides — and through intentional dreaming — you can develop a profound relationship with yourself, Spirit, and the animate Earth.

In this opening session, Ariella will introduce the tradition of European bee shamanism. She’ll share how dreaming with bees can uniquely affect your dream state. You’ll explore the importance of honeybees as sacred beings in the ancient world and European folklore. And, you’ll come to realize why bees are so important to humankind now.

The session will include a meditation to enter the sleep state… as well as some simple techniques for improving the dream space and recalling dreams.

In this first module, you’ll discover:

• What Dreaming With Bees means and how to approach it
• The importance of honeybees as sacred dream allies
• Techniques for cultivating a healthy dream environment
• Methods for improving the dream space
• Simple techniques for dream recall
• The Dreaming Tree Meditation for entering the sleep state

In this second class, you’ll continue your exploration of bee shamanism by turning your gaze to the Melissae, or bee priestesses of ancient Greece. You’ll discover what the early matriarchal cultures have to offer us now — in our modern age of great change and imbalance with the Earth.

Through an oral teaching method meant to help you cultivate both the imagination and the body’s innate wisdom, Ariella will share about Earth dreaming and the Dream Weave.

You’ll also practice a technique called Sensory Recapitulation to aid in both dream recall and memory development.

You’ll be guided in a meditation that uses a breathing technique to support your connection with the animate Earth and the vast cosmos.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• Who the Melissae are and the power of the Sacred Feminine in dreaming
• The mythic landscape of the Dream Weave and what it means for you
• The importance and impact of oral teachings and oral culture in learning about dreams
• Sensory Recapitulation for mapping your waking and dream life
• Dream fragments and the hypnagogic state
• Breathing techniques for connecting with the Earth and cosmos

Over the next three sessions, you’ll dive into the heart of this course — dreaming in the garden of the hive.

You’ll explore the Path of Pollen teaching of your Interior Garden and discover how attention to the garden can bring physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing — and aid in the development of intuition, creativity, wisdom, and divine revelation.

You’ll center your practice around the heart, approaching this exquisite knowledge center with both intentional dreaming and heart-flowering practices meant to deepen your intuition and support wellbeing.

This portion of the course will be very experiential, with deep and imaginative listening to the whispering of your Interior Garden. To aid in your heart flowering, you’ll work with the Sisterhood of the Wise Maidens as spirit allies that will infuse love into your dreaming.

By learning to develop your embodied seership in waking, you’ll enhance and enrich what Spirit and imagination can bring to your night dreams.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• Embodied dreaming and how it can benefit you
• The Interior Garden as a map for self-knowing
• The Sisterhood of the Wise Maidens and their library of wisdom
• How to dream with the rose of the heart
• A guided exercise for cultivating the wisdom of the heart center

You’ll continue with your Interior Garden explorations, turning now toward the brow… where you’ll explore the wisdom of the cosmos and all that is above. You’ll be joined by the Sisterhood of the Spinners to infuse your seeing and dreaming.

To aid in this practice, Ariella will introduce you to the symbol of the bees’ dance, known as the lemniscate and commonly pictured as a figure eight. You’ll use this symbol as a multipurpose tool for energy work and connection with the hive within.

We will also engage in a dream mirroring or dream discovery technique meant to bypass interpretation and go straight to the wisdom of Spirit speaking through you and your imagination.

In this module, you’ll:

• Dreaming with the rose of the brow
• Experience listening to the stars and listening to the brow
• Explore the lemniscate as a living symbol and guide
• Learn about the Sisterhood of the Spinners and their weaving magic
• Be exposed to a dream mirror demonstration and be guided in a practice for body-informed intuition

In this session, you’ll come to your final rose of exploration, connecting with the wisdom of the Earth and the sacral center. You’ll continue with your experiential practices of body-informed seeing, and meet the Sisterhood of the Fey — the dream bringers.

In this session, you’ll experience:

• Listening to the Earth and listening to the belly
• The continuation of the body-informed intuition technique
• A practice for exploring messages from your dream voices
• The Sisterhood of the Fey and nature connection
• Dreaming with the rose of the sacral center

In this session, you’ll begin the work of integration, and receive a primary bee shamanism practice — The Walk of Infinite Flight. The Walk has many other names and applications, but the primary teaching remains the same.

This session will be dedicated to learning and experiencing this movement meditation, both as a dreamwork tool and as a vehicle for many other forms of personal discovery, gnosis, harmony, healing, and communion with Spirit.

(Note: This session will require you to have a flat indoor space of about eight by four feet — a bit larger than a yoga mat.)

In this module, you’ll:

• Receive the power of The Walk of Infinite Flight guided practice
• Use The Walk of Infinite Flight as a tool for dream discovery and inner balance
