## Resource

In this episode, Anita sits down with Sasha Chadwick (creator of Hive Mind) for a grounded, yet mystical, conversation on bee venom medicine, the terrain model and what it means to rebuild trust in the body’s intelligence. Sasha shares her extraordinary entry into beekeeping (including a swarm landing on her doorstep), her personal healing journey through allergy, anaphylaxis and “purging" - and her evolving view of venom administration as a form of environmental exposure and recalibration. Together, they explore how the body interprets threat, how symptoms can be communication and why the hive itself is an archetype for community, contraction/expansion and renewal. This episode is a deep dive into sovereignty, nature’s patterns and the medicine of relationship - with striking parallels to birth and initiation at times! This episode is a conversation exploring philosophy, lived experience and ancestral frameworks around nature and health. Nothing shared is medical advice. Always seek qualified support for allergy, anaphylaxis, pregnancy and any medical concerns.
