Our Mission
THE WORLD IS CHANGING ALL AROUND US.
ARE YOU PREPARED TO BUILD A NEW ONE?
Introducing the Human Nature Institute. Our mission is to plant the seeds of a regenerative society for our descendants by teaching the arts of being fully human and awake in the world.
EarthWake is our new series of daylong workshops, games, and deep connection designed to immerse you in fun & meaningful learning, while in the context of an interactive 'learning village.'
During each immersion we will experientially travel through the 5 main arts of our human nature: healing, sacred practice, earth tending, societal connection, and creative expression.
Each daylong highlights all 5 aspects of our Human Nature, because we believe it takes the combination of all them to be fully alive and awake on this earth.
Together we will spiral into deep connection to self and other. We will play, move, wander, and sit still on the landscape. We will share our gifts with one another, and be seen and heard.
Lastly we will catch the story of the day, as our ancestors have done for centuries.

Featuring
"Bee Charmer" Shane
Shane "Bee Charmer" of Hawaii island is an Apitherapist specializing in separation disorder. Shane's evolved method of bee venom therapy allows for the bee to live during treatment. He uses special tweezers to pull out the stinger WITH the bee so the venom is delivered safely and the bee keeps her life.
Bee venom therapy is an ancient Melissa practice. Treating modern illnesses from lyme disease to cancer. Shane has successfully aided in many remissions and held sacred space for healing for over 10 years with BVT(4 years with evolved harmless method).
Shane is also working with genetics so the bee does this process on their own! It's called "uncorking" where the bee removes her stinger by spinning and pulling it out on her own.
The Sacred Melissa and the path of pollen has been taught by Shane here in Hawaii along with private bee keeping intensive programs.
Apitherapy can heal by methods using candle meditation, brohmery, sound healing, ayurveda, plants, flower essence, BVT, honey, pollen, gems, minerals, and story time. The greatest teacher was Dr. Rudolph Steiner which Shane also helps guide.
