Renata Gilbert
Her journey is intricately woven from the threads of her Māori and Scottish ancestry, grounded in a profound reverence for nature and an intuitive connection to the rhythms of the land. From a young age, she was drawn to the unseen forces that shape life—the energy that pulses through the earth, the cycles of the seasons, and the ancestral wisdom that holds the keys to deep healing.
To her, beekeeping is far more than a skill, it’s a relationship. A sacred exchange between the bees, the land, and those attuned enough to listen. Her approach is one of humility and partnership, honouring the innate intelligence of the hive and embracing the teachings bees offer about balance, resilience, and interconnectedness.
Her work bridges holistic, bee-centric beekeeping with traditional healing modalities and energy work. She offers mentorship rooted in the well-being of the hive and the natural cycles of life, guiding others to tend bees in a way that is respectful, attuned, and spiritually grounded.
She also carries and shares the traditional healing practices of Romi Romi and Miri Miri, powerful modalities rooted in Māori knowledge that support the restoration of balance in the body and spirit. Through energetic alignment and ancestral connection, she helps others release stagnation, clear patterns, and remember their place within the wider web of life.
