    Wintering - Episode 4

    Surviving and Thriving Winter is often an analogy for death in literature. While we see evidence of death in barren trees and notice the absence of our animal friends as they use the time of winter for hibernation, life is thriving beneath the surface. Join us for this study using the book “Wintering” by Katherine May. This course will consist of a podcast reflection to accompany a self-directed read of the book, intentional asynchronous engagement on social media with prompts on the Hive’s Facebook page, and a practice each week, outlined in both the podcast and with accompanying resources on the Hive’s website. We'll explore three themes, including:  -Welcoming Rest and Space -Light, Dark and the In Between Times and  -Surviving and Thriving Each week will include a related scripture or prayer.

    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. Activity: Contemplation Want the full course including the associated activities? Become a Member at The Hive and gain instant access to this and many other incredible courses in our Membership-exclusive library!    Course Description: In our lives, we face real fears, pain, and suffering. 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.
