    The Great Wait - Introduction Class

    Starting Sunday, December 1st for Members! Check out this preview of the upcoming course, "The Great Wait - Celtic Advent Meditation."  Course Description: ​Join us for a contemplative journey through the sacred tradition of Celtic Christianity in "The Great Wait." This course invites participants to explore the four sacred readings from the Christmas Eve Vigil, immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of scripture and meditation. The ancient Celts gathered around the fire on Christmas Eve to retell the key moments of the Birth of Jesus during different parts of the night. Each passage corresponds to the dance of darkness and light that surrounded the community as they told the ancient story of waiting for Christ anew. Each week, we’ll reflect on one of the readings, engaging in thoughtful discussions that illuminate the themes of divine presence and the universal embrace of God's love made Incarnate in Jesus. Our time together will include a meditative sit, where we allow the wisdom of the scriptures to resonate within our hearts. To deepen your exploration, journal prompts will be provided, encouraging personal reflection and insight into how these themes connect to your own spiritual journey. Together, we’ll contemplate the ways God reaches out to all people and fosters a deeper understanding of hope, anticipation, and community during this sacred season. Experience the stillness and renewal of Advent as we await the extraordinary gift of Christmas. All new Memberships start with a 7-day free trial.  Visit our website and join our Membership Community! thehiveapiary.com ------ Support The Hive by becoming a Patreon member: https://www.patreon.com/thehiveapiary Subscribe to the Hive's email newsletter for more great content: https://bit.ly/thehiveemailsubscribe Join the Hive's Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheHiveGroupSpiritualityandWellness Follow the Hive on Instagram:  @thehiveapiary Get in touch: thehiveapiary@gmail.com

    Fear, Mist, and Monsters - Job: Chaos, Monsters, & Unification

    Class 4 In the Book of Job, we hear God ask, “Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook or tie down its tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through its nose or pierce its jaw with a hook?" (Job 41:1) The Leviathan is just one of the metaphorical chaos monsters that are mentioned in the book and they show us just how unknowable the whole universe is. In Job, we learn that true union with God is a STAGE of spiritual development and not a one-time STATE. But we are asked to enter into the mystery of God’s wisdom even further as we learn to let go of our preconceived expectations of life.

These things can feel like metaphorical monsters lurking in the shadows and mist of a murky reality.  It can seem wherever we turn, there are people who can only seem to offer Hallmark-esque platitudes and even toxic positivity in response to the actual help our souls desire. The Biblical Wisdom tradition takes the opposite approach to pain and suffering. Through Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job (three of the classic Wisdom books in the Bible), we can find a pattern that has been time-tested to help us find deep growth, even when we're facing the things we fear most in this life. Taking an in-depth academic and spiritual approach to these three Book of the Bible, we can learn to grow in wisdom and hope.

    Fear, Mist, and Monsters - Ecclesiastes: Smoke & Illumination

    Class 3 In Ecclesiastes 1:1, we hear, “vanity of vanities! All is vanity.” The word for “Vanity” in Hebrew can also be translated as smoke or mist. In this Book, we hear a wise voice ask just why is it that bad things happen to good people, and how are we to learn to dwell in the mysterious reality that we may never fully know the answer to that question on this side of the veil. This powerful volume in the Biblical tradition teaches us maturity and illumination as we walk the path of wisdom.

    Fear, Mist, and Monsters - Proverbs: Fear & Purgation

    Class 2 In Proverbs 9:10 we hear that, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” In the Biblical wisdom tradition, the most terrifying thing seems to be chaos--a world that has no meaning and where the good suffer but the bad succeed. But Proverbs shows us that the “fear of God” actually leads us to discern God’s order and how we can avoid most chaos by living our values.

    Fear, Mist, and Monsters - Introduction to Wisdom

    Class 1 What does Biblical wisdom even look like, and how is it a mystical path of spiritual maturation? This class will give us an introduction to both the 3-fold mystical path of the classic Christian tradition and why mystics have been using it to face the “dark night of the soul” for generations.

    Pray Like a Cicada

    Every year in the summertime, we are greeted by the loud songs of the cicada broods. There's normally about seven different broods at any given time who hatch underground after having lived five years or so underground. For many of the broods, they come up to the surface, they mate, they die. This year, however, we're also being visited by 'Brood 13' and 'Brood 17', and the sound is deafening. This meditation is an understanding of these cicada's prayers as a way of reevaluating our own prayer life. Want to watch the video version of this episode?

    The Way of Light

    Welcome to "the Way of Light!" This is a service found in the Episcopal Church's Book of Occasional Services (Published by Church Publishing) celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus. We hope that these prayers will be a powerful companion on this Easter journey and suggest you listen to this meditation while walking as they are traditionally experienced. You are also invited to pause between stations to extend this prayer session as long as you like. We are grateful to The Rt. Rev. Frank and Victoria Logue for recording these stations. And to The Rev. Jane Gober who organized this reading and added her voice to the recording session.   Visit our website and join our new Membership Community! thehiveapiary.com   Support the Hive by becoming a Patreon member: https://www.patreon.com/thehiveapiary Subscribe to the Hive's email newsletter for more great content: https://bit.ly/thehiveemailsubscribe Join the Hive's Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheHiveGroupSpiritualityandWellness Follow the Hive on Instagram:  @thehiveapiary Get in touch: thehiveapiary@gmail.com
