"What a delight to find a hive of twenty-four women healers, artists, and dreamers telling the bees the deepest stories of their lives and weaving magic to bring us up from the dark places on shining wings. The humming of the bees, familiar not only in nature but in the shift to a shamanic state of consciousness, stirs the pages. We are encouraged to find the gifts in our wounds and rescue the inner children who went away when the world got too cold and cruel. We are given keys for ancestral healing. We are shown how we can journey to meet wounded ancestors in the time and place of their own wounding and become the soul friends who can help them through. To create - which means to bring something new into our world - is always healing and Dreaming with Bees - will inspire you to write and draw, to sing and dance, to embrace the wind and commit poetry. May the bees bless you as you find and follow your path of honey."

Robert Moss, author of Conscious Dreaming and Dreaming the Soul Back Home

"Dreaming with Bees is not simply a collection of compelling stories but feels more like the casting of a great spell-a communal invitation to heal generations of unresolved trauma. The raw intimacy shared within each of these women's stories is not only courageous and inspiring it is also addictively readable. And I absolutely love the touch of "medicine" that follows each chapter, almost like a spiritual antidote to each wound being exposed. What an extraordinary tapestry of creativity and wisdom. Bravo!"

Michael Goorjian, author/filmmaker What Lies Beyond the Stars, Illusion, Amerikats

"Dasha Allred Bond's chapters sizzle with pain and grief but also with compassion and even joy as she reflects on leading a group of likeminded women, all bearing their own trauma and practicing their own spirituality, toward the healing and power of community. I love that this book's proceeds go toward caring for the unhoused, a beautiful way of channeling personal brokenness from the past into present-day caring for the overlooked."

Joy Jordan-Lake, bestselling author of A Tangled Mercy, Under a Gilded Moon, and the Christy Award winning Blue Hole Back Home.

"True medicine for your soul, Dreaming with Bees is a beautiful compilation of stories, wisdom, and transformational moments to help us remember who we really are."
