I believe in your ability to awaken and embody the wisdom that lies within you.
Helping people reconnect with the wisdom of nature and their own inner voice lights me up. In a world full of distractions and noise, I believe it’s essential to rediscover the quiet, sacred spaces where we can listen deeply.
That’s why I’ve developed courses that weave together the practical art of beekeeping, dreamwork, animism, and nature-based practices. These are tools to help you drop into a more meaningful relationship with the earth—and yourself.
This isn’t just about learning beekeeping or dream interpretation. It’s about breaking down the barriers that keep you from fully embracing your inner wisdom and purpose. The truth is, your life should feel connected, purposeful, and in tune with the world around you. That’s the life I’m living and the journey I want to guide you on. Let’s uncover your own path through nature, dreams, intuition, ancient lore, and the sacred practices that have been waiting for you to remember them.
A 6 week course on dreaming practices for the womb using bee lore and meditations. In this course we will dive into working with the honey bee as dream ally and spirit guide, discovering some of the symbology behind the bees, and learning how to intentionally draw their teachings into our dreamscape.
Dreaming With Bees
A 6 month container to hone your seeing and enhance your living and loving. It is both a dreamwork training and a facilitator training. It will offer you the skills and practice needed to ethically and effectively incorporate this manner of dreamwork into your life, your practice, and your work.

Natural Beekeeping
Learn what it takes to keep bees in a more natural way
Most beekeeping courses out there are about the A-B-C’s of beekeeping. If we are going to learn how to listen to the bees, we have to start by asking not how but who. Who are the bees as individuals? Who are they as a collective? Who are they in relationship to the land?
This course is a four hour video lecture series on honeybees and natural beekeeping.
Kindred Bees

The Art of Reading Comb
Learn what's going on in the hive
The most magical things in my waking life transpired during my first dream course with Ariella. I have a newfound appreciation for the dreamworld, and now have a dedicated dream practice with a group of dreamers from that course. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
"My dream life has never been as fascinating or beautiful as it was during those 6 short weeks of dreaming together.
Betwixt & Between
Gabe
For six years I've been beekeeping using Langstroth hives and though I've taken classes to learn techniques and approaches to keeping bees over the years, I've struggled with colony loss year after year and managing them throughout the winter months. I'm delighted to share that it's late October and I've never had a healthier, more robust hive heading into late autumn like I have currently."
"The past 10 months I've completely transformed the way I keep bees through Ariella's teachings, wisdom and reading suggestions.
Farrah
TEnding the Sacred Hive
Having experienced both Betwixt and Between and Dreaming with Bees, I felt honoured to be with such a numinous and wise teacher, who super-charged my own dreaming and shamanic practices. I learnt so much. This is important work, and it has has a spiritual life and energy of its own which goes above and beyond whatever you might expect of an online offering. 100% recommended.”
"All of Ariella’s work is deeply Spirit and womb-driven.
