CONVERSATION AND SOUP
At the end of winter we check the bees and can see which colonies have died. It is a painful process to untangle the combination of human error, accident, disease and climate that causes the life of a colony to collapse.
In this ‘slowed down’ conversation, we will use the format of ‘The Impossible Conversation’, originally used by Jesuit monks and developed by Building Conversations to reflect on how we individually and collectively experience the loss of a non-human companion.
It might be a pet, a plant, a landscape, a tree or even a glacier.
26th February: The Impossible Conversation
____________________________________
There has been a long tradition of humans telling the bees when something happens in the family- a death or sickness, but what if something happens to the bees?
How can our relationship with bees help us to reflect on questions of loss and renewal more generally?
