Connecting to Joy (Group forming now for June – Dec 2025)
Email: melissabeemorningstar@gmail.com with interest or questions.
Are you looking for a way to find your community while you deepen your relationship with yourself and the natural world? Do you find yourself engaging with the plants or animals and yearn for more? Do you want to walk through life with joy in your heart, not because you don’t see the hurt, but because you see the hurt and choose to expand joy? Do you find bees fascinating or see that they always find their way to you? Do you want to do something to fight back against some of the harmful forces in the world in this moment of time and aren’t sure where to start? Are you looking for a community of like-minded people to share time with outdoors, enjoying yourself? Do you know you have intuition and aren’t sure how to fully connect and trust it?
If you answer yes to many or even some of these questions, the Connecting with Joy program may be for you. We will walk the landscape and do ceremony with the plants and animals who share the same home. We will drink teas, craft items of intention to support our journey, get our hands dirty in the soils of Earth, talk about mythos as we work with some of the wisdom that bees offer us as a gift, through writings and drawings of the Melissae, bee priestesses, who celebrated the bees and their teachings in ancient Greece. Check out Whispers from the Bee on Facebook or Instagram if you would like to get to know me more.
The commitment is for 8 months, May – Dec, one day a month on Wednesdays (9:30-2:30). The cost is a scale of $20-$40 per gathering, depending on your economic ability. The total for the entire program is $160-$320.
If you have any questions or would like to sign up for the program, email Melissa @ melissabeemorningstar@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you! Location is Coyote Hollow, in Savoy, MA.

Bees have been guides for humans for many, many years. The relationship of bee to human is a journey of enlightenment, healing, connection to self and all that is, wrapped up with a bow of love. If you are ready to ask Bee to enter your dreamscape with the help of plant ally Mugwort, this journey is for you. You will receive a 1/2 fluid oz bottle of propolis tincture (50% alcohol base) with mugwort flower essence.

Creating with Presence – with the guidance of bees (2021 – Completed)
Dreaming with the Landscape: Creating with Presence
This is an invitation to join me in a journey to your inner landscape, with help from your outer landscape and of course, the bees.
Say yes to this monthly offering and you will say yes to creating the space and time to allow your own inner being to speak with the multitude of intelligent beings around you; the bees, the trees, the land, the rivers, the elementals. When you strengthen your connection to the beautiful world that surrounds you, regardless of what it looks like, you strengthen your ability to connect with your innate senses, where whispers from the Melissae still are heard and the touches of an ancient time morphed into a new time are still felt.
Words are metamorphosed into the sounds, shapes and feelings that they are and all things reverberate with their sacred name. The name Melissa, comes from the Greek word μέλισσα, “honey bee,” which in turn comes from μέλι, “honey.” Melissa officinalis, a plant commonly called lemon balm, which Pliny the Elder wrote that bees were “delighted with this herb above others,” is named for Melissa as well. As in this delightful connection, the Dreaming with the Landscape journey provides a sweetness, a sense of delightment and an invitation to dive deep into our landscape to heal, inspire and metamorphose all who enter our field.
The bees remind us of our own power and help to guide us to the new way of being. We will follow the sacred bee calendar and be guided by the wisdom of bees in a journey of creation together.
The total cost for this year long journey is $199 if paid in full. If you would like to break up the payments into three $75 payments due January, May and September, the total cost is $225. You can pay me through paypal – melissa@aylatree.com or venmo – @aylatree. If you would like to send a check by mail, please contact me at melissa@aylatree.com for details.
