You're Invited To Gather In The Hive!

Hello and happy Friday! We are so excited to be writing this announcement for the newest stage of evolution in our family's plans and visions for Home In The Hive. For the past year we have watched in wonder and amazement as our online community has blossomed and bloomed, providing such wonderful fruits of community and support for all of us to learn from and enjoy. Time and time again we have witnessed the power of this collective coming together to nourish and love one another through our journeys of pregnancy, birth, spiritual growth, raising a home, and all aspects of life. It's been so beautiful to be part of creating such a space of communal inspiration! Lately we've been talking a lot about the importance and necessity of community and our desires to connect with this online realm in deeper and more tangible ways, going beyond the platforms of our blog and Instagram. We wish we could invite each of you into our home to share a meal and a conversation, but since that is not currently a feasible option, we are aiming to get as close as we can with our new intention! 

Each week we are privileged to be in contact with families and individuals from all across the globe and each week we are given the opportunity to pour our love and energy into answering questions and being a resource and support in all the ways we can, but we want to do more! After a few days of deep meditation and receiving inspiration from some very close friends, we are so excited to announce that we are going to start hosting inspirational workshops here in the hive, that all of you will be invited to attend and participate in! In order to streamline information and make more significant connections with you, our online family, we are going to be facilitating conference call inspirational workshops where everyone will have a chance to tune in and hear a message from us, as well as have time for input, feedback, questions and answers. We have seen what the power of this collective community can do and we really believe that so much more is yet to be accomplished through our synchronized energy and intention, and it's for that reason that we will be hosting these gatherings in our hive.

As we continue to sustain our ability to do this type of work, growing the hive, and most importantly, to stay home and raise Luna together, we will be accepting donations for these inspirational workshops, but we absolutely do not want this to prevent anyone from being on the call. All are welcome and any amount of energy sent to the hive is deeply appreciated. Workshops will cover a wide variety of topics, from natural birth and parenting, to astrology and crystal healing, from sustainable living practices and real food eating, to alternative medicine and so much more! Our plan is to gather once a month, with the first gathering taking place on this very special upcoming New Moon! Each month we will post the new topic and some things to be thinking about before the next call takes place. If you feel inspired and have the means to support our work with your financial energy, we will be accepting donations for the gatherings through paypal. If you have questions or comments, or to make a donation, please use the email homeinthehive@gmail.com for all contact. Thank you! 

Here's what you need to know for the first gathering!

When & Where: We will meet on the next New Moon, Thursday, January 30^th at 5:30pm PST. Everyone is invited to dial in at (530) 881-1000 and enter the access code 119076# when prompted by the automated operator. You will then hear an invitation to introduce yourself, at which point you can go ahead and say hello and your name, or you can pass and remain a silent listener, totally up to you. Of course we would LOVE to hear from everyone, but we understand that this type of thing is new to most, and intimidation is a fear we all must face at one point or another along the path! So we welcome all to do what feels comfortable at this time. If you are going to be arriving more than a minute or two late on the call, please refrain from introducing yourself as we may have already started the session and we want to respect everyone's time. Thank you!

Topic: This first inspirational workshop will serve as a sort of meet & greet and getting to know one another on a deeper level. We will start the gathering with a guided meditation and then Oscar and I will both be giving an introduction of ourselves, going deeper into our backgrounds and how we both found the path we are on today. Oscar has a degree in psychology that has led him on a path of deep interconnectedness and understanding of the human race, through many realms of work and intensive study in the metaphysical world, he has developed a strong sense of passion and direction for what we can all be doing to create conscious shifts of love and positivity in our lives and in this current paradigm. I am a licensed cosmetologist and have been submersed in studying the world of natural health and wellness for almost ten years. The opportunity to travel around the world doing missionary work as a child and teenager has greatly shaped my perspective and calling to bring healing and restoration to this earth and her inhabitants. Both Oscar and I will be speaking more deeply on how we got started with the paths we are on now, how we are working towards where we want to be, and ways we believe we all can start to return to the garden and bring new life to this beautiful earth of ours.

We would be so pleased to have you join us for the first gathering in the hive and to spread the word to anyone you know that might be interested in coming along! Thank you for reading this, for being a part of the journey, and we can't wait to connect on the New Moon! Love & Light from our hive to yours.

Ashley, Oscar, Luna & Francois
