Hello Loves,
Sadie here, Steward of LoversLand, a Healing Sanctuary on sacred land near Austin, TX.
We're building by hand two Healing Structures (first of its kind double bee bed and a healing hut by the pond!), and need your support to complete the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Accessible ramps that enable those on wheels to come heal in nature.
Funding goal: Our goal is to raise $4,444 to build 2 ADA-accessible ramps (one for each structure)
Timeline: We aim to complete construction by 4/21/2026!
What is Bee Bed therapy?
Bee bed therapy involves resting on beds above active beehives. The bees' vibrations (190-270 Hz), humming, and natural hive aromas—honey and propolis—create a therapeutic environment. Benefits include relaxation, stress reduction, respiratory support, improved sleep, and immune system stimulation through clean, ionized air.
Propolis Aerosol Benefits:
Research from Technical University of Dresden shows hive air contains volatile organic compounds from propolis, wax, and honey with high therapeutic potential for respiratory health (Medikoel) . A systematic review of 158 studies found propolis effective as primary or adjunctive therapy for respiratory tract diseases and disorders (ScienceDirect) .
Why Reiki and Sound Healing?
Our Healing Hut weaves together Reiki, Sound Therapy, and Holistic Healing to bring your body back into harmony, so it can remember how to heal itself through nature's frequencies.
A major study of 1,411 Reiki sessions published in peer-reviewed journals found statistically significant improvements in pain, anxiety, depression, tiredness, and overall well-being after a single 45-90 minute session.
Sound and vibrational therapy has been studied in multiple NIH clinical trials with remarkable results: improved memory and alertness in Alzheimer's patients, significant pain reduction in chronic pain sufferers, and reduced anxiety in surgical patients. The low-frequency vibrations (190-270 Hz) from our bee sanctuary match therapeutic frequencies proven to activate the body's relaxation response and promote natural healing.
As a former Googler turned land steward and Reiki practitioner, I'm committed to creating an accessible healing space that honors both ancient wisdom and modern science.
LoversLand will be the first bee bed healing facility in Central Texas, bringing this centuries-old European healing practice to our community.
Thank you for considering our fundraiser!
Love,
Sadie and the Co-Stewards of LoversLand
