About the author

ANNA ALKIN

ANNA ALKIN

Anna M. Alkin holds an M.A. in religion from Yale Divinity School. Her interest in spirituality, social justice, and the natural world has led her to work in Congress, spend four months on silent retreat in the Tucson desert, accompany a death row inmate to the end of his life, lead college students on multi-day pilgrimage experiences on the streets to learn from the homeless, and found LunaSol Farm on 14 acres just outside of Eugene, Oregon, where she and her family raise chickens, berries, and locally-adapted honeybees. She discovered shamanism more than a decade after leaving church and a career in ministry. In addition to beekeeping, boy-raising, and writing, Anna also serves as a shamanic spiritual guide for clients both near and far: www.gaiashamanism.com.

    Lovely. Recently, I wrote over the door of my shamanic workroom: “Grow The Wilderness Within.” (I believe I got this from John Lockley, but I’m not sure. It’s a wonderful phrase, though!)

    Thank you Anna, your words read so familiarly with me.
    So encouraging to hear them. I particularly like your sentence
    ” …..roots in the sky instead of reaching down…. ” this, to me sums up the ‘confusion’ so many of us seem to have about spiritual connection and practises …. thanks again

    Anna, you have written wonderfully, capturing the cadence and dance of the bees in a perfect metaphor for us two-leggeds. Colony collapse indeed. Biomimicry is the solution, learn from our pollinating pals about working together for a common goal.
