Hello Brave Souls!

Capturing the essence of my transformative journey with Stella Porta's "Dreaming With The Hive" program is a challenge, yet I hope to convey the profound impact it had on both my personal life and creative realms.

Participating in dream-weaving sessions with a small circle of women has profoundly enriched my waking life and creative expression in a remarkably short period. This experience has been one of deep exploration and empowerment. Stella's insightful guidance on seamlessly integrating the wisdom of our nighttime dreams with our daytime realities has been a pivotal aspect of my transformation. This harmonious blend has not only simplified navigating life's complexities but has also significantly nurtured my heart and fueled my multimedia artistic endeavors.

Through Stella's teachings, and the reflections of my fellow dreamers, I embarked on a path of empowerment, learning more deeply to awaken my creative potential and that of others. Stella's unique approach to weaving dreams into reality has opened my eyes to new ways of contributing to and elevating human consciousness and well-being. An inner-standing, or heightened ability I call, “Visionality”.

The practices of Recalling, Weaving, Mirroring, and Returning to Wholeness, have magically created the sense of being rooted and grounded. I now take action in my waking life more confidently and creatively. These practices, along with exploring the meaning behind symbols, connecting to the wisdom of ancestors, and weaving a tapestry of meaning, sparked a shift in my perception of life. Stella provided the portal that allowed me to tap into a wellspring of insight and inspiration.

Stella’s program introduces a variety of impactful practices, but the one that continues to resonate profoundly with me is the art of weaving and mirroring.

My journaling practice has now become a blend of weaving daydreams with nightdreams, a cornerstone of my personal growth journey, thanks to Stella and her Honeywomb programs. Initially, I had strayed from the practice of recording my dreams and reflections, but “Dreaming With The Hive” rekindled my passion for capturing the ephemeral threads of my subconscious and interlacing them with the fabric of my waking life.

During the program, while my dream recall may not have been as vivid, the act of journaling about the threads or pieces, unveiled its profound influence on my daily existence. The ritual of inviting the wisdom of the bees, the hive, the Melissae, the womb of the world, into my dreams became a nightly beacon of guidance, healing, and empowerment. Despite not always remembering my dreams upon waking, the practice of sensory recapitulation unlocked a realm of magic and insight.

Although my dreaming mostly feels like being in a dark space and gestating in a womb, through this process, I discovered the potent symbolism of dwelling in darkness. This space, though seemingly void, brims with messages of creation, renewal, and the essence of life. Now living in Portugal for 7 months, on my ancestors’ land, drinking fresh mountain spring water, my dreams have revealed a profound connection to the Earth and its cycles, embodying the nurturing spirit of Mother Nature herself.

This journey of dreaming with the hive has signified a period of personal gestation, where new ideas, projects, and facets of my being are incubating, ready to emerge into the light. It symbolizes a rebirth and a yearning for a fresh start, encouraging me to embrace the mysteries of creation, honor the healing process of transformation, and anticipate the new paths that await.

Each night, the darkness of the womb has beckoned me to introspect and engage in deep inner work, preparing me for the unveiling of new aspects of myself. It has also reminded me of my universal connection, reinforcing my sense of belonging within the vast tapestry of existence and the interconnectedness of all life.

In embracing journaling and the weaving of daydreams with nightdreams, I've found a powerful tool for navigating the complexities of life, nurturing personal development, enhancing creative endeavors, and aiding in the restoration of well-being throughout the world.

I am immensely grateful for the journey Stella has guided me on, and I wholeheartedly recommend her Honeywomb programs to anyone seeking to explore the depths of their dreams and the heights of their creative potential.
