Ruby Ray

In this episode of Ruby Ray, we're delighted to have Gabriela Gutierrez back for a conversation about dreaming as a form of changemaking. We discuss the dream practices of the Melissae Bee Maidens of Ancient Greece, and how they used dreamtime as a form of spiritual activism. We discuss dreaming with intention vs. on auto-pilot, and how dreams are a practice of deep healing and self-empowerment. We also talk about "Dream Activism," a form of collective dreamwork undertaken over the solstices and equinoxes every year.

We also talk about:

• How the cyclical nature of the Earth impacts our dreamworld
• Why our dreams are a practice of reclaiming our power
• The difference between medicinal vs. auto-pilot dreams
• Specific practices for distilling our dreams
• Oneiric dreaming temples of Ancient Greece and Mexico

Independent scholar and practitioner of oracular arts Gabriela Gutierrez joins the podcast today to talk about the healing method of bee priestesses from the ancient Mediterranean. The Melissae temple priestesses work with the bees, who are the main animal ally of the female principle because they live in a matriarchal fashion. We talk about the four pillars of the feminine way, the highest teaching the Melissae worked towards, and the revival of something ancient within us all.

• Why this lineage was passed down from woman-to-woman
• How at the heart of this tradition is the veneration of the feminine principle
• What this ancient form of energy medicine is, in essence
• Who were the Melissae temple priestesses & what they practiced
• Why bees are the main animal allies of the feminine principle
