...with Chris Park.

Chris Park is a Druid, artist, musician and storyteller, immersed and versed in the ancient lore and wisdom traditions of the Isles of Britain. He is a folk singer and multi-instrumentalist, specialising in pipes, whistles and flutes and various strings, mainly versed in British folk music and song, with a passion for Breton and French music too.

He lives in a luxurious hedge with a wayward family surrounded by beehives and organic farmland in the Vale of the White Horse. There he teaches and researches old ways and new. Hosting community ceremonies, working with bees and apitherapy, fostering peace and seeking an ever-renewed sense of purpose and service.

In today's episode, I am deeply humbled to have Chris share with us so openly his experiences and vast knowledge of Breton's ancient tradition of folklore and the art of beekeeping. He does so with the deep care and consideration of a true Wisdom Keeper. We tap into the richness of the land across The British Isles and what makes it so unique, the magic of alchemy and many benefits and modalities of Apitherapy.
