About this episode
Anita Katherine and Sasha Chadwick discuss bee venom medicine, personal healing, and the relationship between nature and health.
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.
