Bring Back the Bees Faerie Camp

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Canadian Celtic musician Oona McOuat is very active in giving back something to the community. Whither  it is about saving whales or bees, she continues to make something happen. Teaching is part of her passion. According to her website: Oona teaches children these sacred values at her unique Faerie Camps and her singing & harp lessons: Honour the wild and her creatures; protect the elements that provide Life for all beings, and honour the Spirit of all these things. A lesson we all need to embrace at this crucial juncture in civilization. Last time, I featured One World One Heart Beating project. I think it is one of the best videos I have seen this year! This time I am posting  a video about Bring Back the Bees Faerie Camp. Oona has interesting workshops and you can check them out in her official website:
