The Spirit of Bee

Join us for an engaging story dialogue with master beekeeper/educator, Debra Roberts and Larry Littlebird, Pueblo elder/storyteller and traditional farmer. Debra and Larry will weave together an intimate conversation of indigenous "bee" stories, lessons learned from the hive and women's sacred ways in the bee yard.

For beekeepers, bee appreciators and for anyone wanting to be blessed by the "spirit of bee" for creating a more sustainably conscious world!

Proceeds from this event support bringing back the bees into the local foodshed on the lands of Hamaatsa in Spring 2012.
