Honoring the Sacred Connection Between Bees, Healing & Nature

Kia ora & welcome,

I’m Renata Gilbert, the heart behind The Conscious Beekeeper. My journey is woven from the wisdom of my Māori and Scottish ancestry, a deep reverence for nature, and a lifelong connection to the rhythms of the land.

For me, beekeeping is not just a practice—it’s a relationship. A conversation between the bees, the earth, and those of us willing to listen. It’s about working with nature rather than imposing upon it, honouring the intelligence of the hive, and recognising the deep teachings that bees offer us about balance, resilience, and harmony.

My Path to Conscious Beekeeping & Healing

From a young age, I felt a pull toward the unseen forces that weave life together—the energy in the land, the cycles of nature, and the way ancient traditions hold keys to deep healing. My work is an extension of this calling, bridging holistic beekeeping, energy work, and body-based healing practices to help others reconnect with themselves and the natural world.

Through my practice, I offer:
Holistic, bee-centric beekeeping mentorship that prioritises the well-being of the hive and the natural cycles of life.
Traditional healing practices like Romi Romi/Miri Miri, deeply rooted in Māori knowledge, to restore balance and flow in the body and spirit.
Energetic realignment and ancestral connection, helping others clear stagnant patterns and deepen their relationship with the wisdom around them.

A Life Rooted in Nature & Energy

I live and work in alignment with the elements—walking barefoot on the earth, immersing in water, breathing deeply with the wind. These are not just rituals but ways of being—ways of staying connected to the greater web of life.

Through bees, bodywork, and energy healing, my mission is to guide others in remembering their innate connection to nature, their inner strength, and their ability to move through life with greater clarity and ease.
