Join Lead Author Dasha Allred Bond and twenty-three of her bee sisters as they share the sacred stories that surfaced as they explored the deeper well of collective grief. Working with the wisdom of their dreams and the transformative energy of their bee allies, the bee sisters show us the surprising ways the archetype of the divine feminine reveals herself even amid utter despair and darkness. These stories aren't for the faint of heart, as they dare to reveal the deeper truths of core trauma often eclipsed by our surface-oriented, high-gloss, spiritual bypassing culture. These stories are unapologetically real and consciousness-stirring. Readers will find their hearts and minds expanding as they feel into each author's cathartic journey through pain and suffering and into the space of love. Each story ends with a beautiful shared practice or medicine that can be initiated immediately.
A portion of profits from the publication of Dreaming with Bees will go to support Aluna Bridge, a nonprofit dedicated to offering hospice sanctuary to women and children who are unhoused, as well as various nonprofits working to protect our bee friends.
"What a delight to find a hive of twenty-four women healers, artists, and dreamers telling the bees the deepest stories of their lives and weaving magic to bring us up from the dark places on shining wings. The humming of the bees, familiar not only in nature but in the shift to a shamanic state of consciousness, stirs the pages. We are encouraged to find the gifts in our wounds and rescue the inner children who went away when the world got too cold and cruel. We are given keys for ancestral healing. We are shown how we can journey to meet wounded ancestors in the time and place of their own wounding and become the soul friends who can help them through. To create - which means to bring something new into our world - is always healing and Dreaming with Bees - will inspire you to write and draw, to sing and dance, to embrace the wind and commit poetry. May the bees bless you as you find and follow your path of honey."
Robert Moss, author of Conscious Dreaming and Dreaming the Soul Back Home
"Dreaming with Bees is not simply a collection of compelling stories but feels more like the casting of a great spell-a communal invitation to heal generations of unresolved trauma. The raw intimacy shared within each of these women's stories is not only courageous and inspiring it is also addictively readable. And I absolutely love the touch of "medicine" that follows each chapter, almost like a spiritual antidote to each wound being exposed. What an extraordinary tapestry of creativity and wisdom. Bravo!"
Michael Goorjian, author/filmmaker What Lies Beyond the Stars, Illusion, Amerikats
"Dasha Allred Bond's chapters sizzle with pain and grief but also with compassion and even joy as she reflects on leading a group of likeminded women, all bearing their own trauma and practicing their own spirituality, toward the healing and power of community. I love that this book's proceeds go toward caring for the unhoused, a beautiful way of channeling personal brokenness from the past into present-day caring for the overlooked."
Joy Jordan-Lake, bestselling author of A Tangled Mercy, Under a Gilded Moon, and the Christy Award winning Blue Hole Back Home.
"True medicine for your soul, Dreaming with Bees is a beautiful compilation of stories, wisdom, and transformational moments to help us remember who we really are."

Answering their calls, she visited Our Lady's Shrine in Mexico City and the Pyramids of Teotihuacan.
