What Does Service Look Like 🕊️
My Dear Priestess Sister Julie and I by the healing Susquehanna River
The Universe Has a Sense of Humor 😊
My life is sooooooo different than I mapped it out to be. I was nerdy and looked down upon my intuitive gifts for most of my life. I wanted those doors closed. The feeling tone and reality of this past weekend makes me sigh and giggle... The universe has a sense of humor, that is all that I can think of right now.
🌙 Preparing to Serve
When preparing for a weekend of mystery school, the basics are always in place. I bring my awareness to my personal practices starting in the morning, still in bed. I feel into my dreams, if any. I am intentionally keeping my head and most importantly my heart open to receive any kind of information that pertains to any aspect of facilitating ~ for myself, for each of the Beehive Mystery School initiates, the framework for the weekend, and the activities.
✨ Surrendering Control
I have to be resolute to keep my wants and ego out of the way. It gets easier and easier as I get older and wiser, thank the Goddess! Resistance is futile.
The need to control is now replaced by allowing the flow with dynamic emotional intelligence
The need to know everything ahead of time is replaced with Trust ~ I call it the "big T"
The need to organize the order of events is replaced with amazement and awe for how it all unfolds together effortlessly
The people pleasing and making sure that everyone is happy is now replaced with amazement of all the different things that each individual will get out of the activities ~ very originally designed by their shadow work, their traumatic history, and the places that they are working on to achieve empowerment within themselves
🦋 The Business of Transcendence
The business of transcendence is truly mysteriously unfolding in front of our eyes. It is humbling to feel and perceive it as a group setting. The momentum for growth exponentially unfolds and allows for the "mirror effect." It is beyond the beyond reaffirming when there is zero spiritual bypassing, and radical compassion as a foundation. Again, humbling!
📞 This Weekend's Divine Download
This past weekend was no exception to the rule of awesomeness. I was driving and had a huge hit (download) to call a close Priestess Sister that just lost her husband a couple of weeks ago. I invited her to join us at The Hive for an extremely potent process that all level 1 mystery school students are initiated into in the beginning of their healing journey with me.
The Art of Letting Go 🙏
I HAD to drop attachment to:
The outcome
Her feeling overwhelmed with all the shocking and unexpected happenings in her life
Any fear that the initiates would not be able to hold themselves together in true and empowering empathy, clear energetic boundaries, and buckle at that level of the 'real' work ahead
To me this IS "Priestessing." The epitome of 'Beeing of and in Service.' 🐝
I also trust Creator... if it was not meant to be, my sister would have not said yes, or there would be other happenings to not allow the event to take place. I have seen this over and over again. To my surprise Julie immediately said "YES." She was eager to heal, to learn as much as possible about what was happening on the invisible side, and to feel held, loved and seen.
💫 Trust Transforms Terror
I was touched by her level of trust in me. In the old days that would inform my nervous system in the way of freaking me out. It has been a long road to get to here. Not better or worse, just different. I am simultaneously getting better and better at not judging what 'feels good or feels bad.' I have the clarity now to work with whatever shows up without attachment.
🌟 Saturday's Sacred Structure
⚡️ Morning: Seva Project Deep Dive
I decided to start the day with them by jumping into dissecting their upcoming Seva Project workshops. This was the weekend to examine closely every aspect of their free offering to the community, one by one. I call it the "Blow by Blow" meeting. We look at their intentions, how to spiritually prepare, craft their bios, dive into how their offer will look like in all areas, and create a timeline from top to bottom.
Over the past few years, The Beehive Mystery School has naturally evolved into a spiritual business training incubator for those called to become practitioners. At the same time, it offers something equally profound for those not pursuing a spiritual-based business: a rich collection of skills that enhance their current careers while weaving intention and spirituality into their everyday lives in practical, grounded ways. Through these activities, participants discover a powerful pathway to building self-esteem and developing the art of present listening ~ gifts that transform both their professional endeavors and personal relationships. Whether building a healing practice or bringing more consciousness to the work initiates already do, the mystery school holds space for folks unique journey.
💗 Midday: The Deep Work Begins
After the first blow by blow meeting, I shared with them the next part of the day with the deep work ahead for my dear friend. I did not share it earlier because I needed for them to be fully engaged with the workshop meeting and not worry about what was to come. I however did send them a message earlier in the week with instructions for self-care and preparation for Friday, the day before for an 'intense' experience on Saturday.
The reason that I surrendered so quickly to activate this session is because this group takes all the work they are activating with me so seriously. I explained what was happening and gave them a choice of what role to play. I also asked a graduate from the level 4 mystery school to come over for a pivotal support role.
🌈 Service Is Not Glamorous
It all worked out like a vortex of transformation and healing. It was challenging, it was unexpected, heart-wrenching and heart-warming all in one. Being of service is not for the faint of heart. It is not glamorous, it is not a straight line from A to Z. The way to perform this level of work is to remain fully present, fully aware of the guidance coming through. And in addition, I was guiding the initiates to perform accordingly, to take ownership of self-care, and for them to maintain a sober level of empowerment.
🕊️ Messages of Grace
At the end, my friend asked if anyone had anything to share. The ones that had amazing messages to share brought my dear Sister to tears of grace and gratitude. She was amazing through it all!
💧 Purification by the River
I ended this deep exploration by the mighty Susquehanna River with her to activate a final purification rite by those healing deep waters. I drove her home in her car. It was a precious time to help her process and to make sure she was safe on the road.
The initiates took time by the Yellow Breeches Creek with Breath Walk, a form of yoga in motion. A needed time for them to be outside in nature, and to clear the intensity of the work well performed in the Hive. It was an outstanding win-win for everyone.
🎁 Evening: The Gift of Human Design
After I returned we jumped into another phenomenal activity with another mystery school graduate. Ruthie Lerato blessed myself and the curious initiates to an incredible class about Human Design. Ruthie is an eternal seeker of knowledge, of healing, and of ways to serve. Since her years in mystery school Ruthie has transformed her life and has been traveling the world learning and now teaching as well... AMAZING!
We had a grand time digging into the systems that Ruthie has been sharing. She has the gift of teaching very complex Human Design concepts with purpose, clarity, practical examples, and excitement! The hours flowed...
🌺 Witnessing Transformation
I am SO thrilled to be witnessing Ruthie become more and more professional and enlivened as she shares life-shifting information. She has become an outstanding listener to the group energy as she generously holds the space impeccably. It was ecstatic for me to see her in action with such love in every word and mannerism.
🌅 Sunday: Integration & Continuation
On Sunday we processed the occurrences of Saturday and continued with the blow by blow meetings. As usual there were priceless aha moments, more than I could count, in the midst of life-changing self-awareness. I am grateful and deeply honored to keep showing up.
💝 What Service Really Looks Like
Here's what I've learned about true service, so far: It asks everything of you and gives you everything in return. It demands that you show up even when you don't know how it will unfold. It requires you to trust the guidance more than your fear, to hold space for the messiness of transformation, and to witness both the breaking open and the piecing back together with equal reverence.
Service is not about having all the answers ~ it's about being willing to sit in the questions alongside those who are brave enough to ask them. It's about creating containers strong enough to hold the weight of grief, spacious enough to allow joy, and sacred enough to honor the mystery of it all.
This weekend reminded me that I am not the healer, the teacher, or the guide. I am simply a witness to the Divine working through all of us. My only job is to remain open, to trust the downloads, to follow the thread even when I can't see where it leads, and to remember that every single person who shows up is both student and teacher, wounded and healer, seeking and already whole.
The nerdy girl who wanted to close those intuitive doors? She's still here. But now she giggles at the cosmic joke: the very gifts I tried to hide have become the doorways through which grace enters. And service? Service looks like saying yes even when you're scared. It looks like trusting the "big T" more than your small plans. It looks like a Saturday that breaks your heart and puts it back together, stronger and more spacious than before.
I wouldn't have mapped this life. But oh, how grateful I am to be living it. 🙏✨
With love from The Hive 🐝
