This year I’m celebrating World Bee Day with a dance… In my Sarah Connor-inspired work clothes because I’m ready to fight Skynet 😆

In another lifetime, I was a classically-trained professional dancer.  I left the dance world 7 years ago somewhat disillusioned, but the art of movement is always in my blood — Both my parents were classical dancers when they were teenagers, and I have deep appreciation for all kinds of dancing.

So as part of the evolution of Poison and Bee, I want to incorporate dance back into my practice. Honey bees dance to communicate, and datura dances wildly in the face of a wind storm… Here I am, dance like I want to win (If you know where that reference came from, you are extra cool!)

Fun tidbit: After dancing with the bees at dusk (a liminal time), I dreamed about, for the first time, large swarms of bees and honey bees dispensing fortune/oracles… There is this shamanic tradition that involves “dreaming with bees”, so I wonder if the dancing had triggered something…🤔
