BUSY BEES

Image: Wellcome Library, London

We are a busy society, obsessed with demands, feedback, and output!

Which drains the spiritual health necessary to live with imagination, compassion or generosity.

This leads to stress, burn out, anger, and depression

WITHIN COMMUNITYMindfulness practiced with others can make it easier to

notice progress and overcome roadblocks.

Real, lasting transformation comes through learning new habits.

The Hive is the place you come to to overcome burnout and develop

spiritual health through community.

WHAT IS SPIRITUAL HEALTH?

Contemplation helps us dismiss distraction and attachment long enough to hear our inner calling.

Art enables us to explore parts of life that we often overlook.

Action is the courageous outcome of rooted individuals expressing their callings.
