Self Discovery at The Hive

Our wisdom is all mixed up with what we call our neurosis. Our brilliance, our juiciness, our spiciness, is all mixed up with our craziness and our confusion and therefore it doesn’t do any good to try and get rid of our so-called negative aspects, because in that process we also get rid of our basic wonderfulness. We can lead our life so as to become more awake to who we are and what we’re doing rather than trying to improve or change or get rid of who we are or what we’re doing. The key is to wake up, to become more alert, more inquisitive and curious about ourselves.” ~Pema Chodron.

So often, folks come to the practice seeking to improve themselves, change something, become something different. What if instead, you assume that all you need is already within you waiting to be discovered, affirmed or encouraged. Self-discovery allows you the opportunity to work with your most natural self without resistance, practice curiosity and compassion, and get to know yourself without judgment, blame, or expectation.

The Hive’s Self-Discovery practice includes a variety of modalities and stems from the tools and philosophies Melissa finds beneficial in her own personal practice. 

UPCOMING SELF-DISCOVERY STUDIES

Ending & Beginning with Magick

Whether you choose an a-la carte practice or you cozy in for all three gatherings, this self-discovery series utilizes a wide variety of resilience building tools + the imagination + the body. Harness the cumulative energy of the New Moon, New Year’s Eve + New Year’s Day:

Astrology Chat, Create the Container & Ritual Prep

Tuesday, December 31st 10am-11:30am/12pm (depends on you/how long you want to stay!)

  • 1:30pm-4:30pm    HIKE (optional)

                                             
Rather than practicing the skills of yoga and breathwork, students will rely on yoga and breathwork as trusty tools in their toolbox to create a state of strong focus and concentration. Each practice includes some combination of the following tools/skills:

  • yoga poses (you’ll need to get up and down from the ground, using a chair to help is cool)
  • guided breathwork
  • guided meditation + self-guided, silent meditation
  • astrology and Melissa’s teaching
  • compassionate self-reflection questions based on end of year astrology and 2024 review 
  • quiet time on your own
  • suggested oracle/tarot readings
  • insights on crystal and nature allies
  • end of old year ritual
  • start of new year ritual
  • options to actively participate in ritual
  • quiet time in a safe, welcoming, creatively alive environment to process the last year, start integration, and begin to dream and feel forward into the next cycle of time
