Wisdom of the Hive with Michelle Cassandra Johnson and Amy Burtaine

"In times marked by turmoil and uncertainty, honeybees offer a powerful example of how to turn toward each other, to deeply commit to creating conditions for survival of all beings, and to build a future where all can thrive." —Michelle C. Johnson & Amy Burtaine Bees are life-giving. They are vital pollinators that support our food supply, and they are also teachers with healing and wisdom to share.  In this episode, host Tracee Stanley sits down with coauthors of Wisdom of the Hive: What Honeybees Can Teach Us about Collective Wellbeing, Michelle Cassandra Johnson and Amy Burtaine, bee-lovers and bee-tenders, activists, and individuals deeply committed to healing work that supports bringing individuals, the collective, and our entire ecosystem back into balance.  They discuss being drawn into the mysterious and sacred world of the bees, connecting with the bees and cultivating a non-extractive relationship, the deep lessons from the bees, and so much more.  Order your copy of Wisdom of the Hive here: https://www.michellecjohnson.com/wisdom-of-the-hive    ABOUT OUR GUESTS Michelle Cassandra Johnson is an author, activist, spiritual teacher, racial equity consultant, and intuitive healer.
