Apitherapy in Romania

A long held desire to visit Dr Stefan Stangaciu's clinic in Romania and take his intensive Apitherapy Course became a reality this June. After deciding to attend, Paula followed a strong intuitive sense NOT to fly there, to travel by train instead. Not knowing why, and not influenced by worldly events, Paula followed her intuition, and received unexpected learnings and experiences from this guidance. You can listen to Paula's previous interview with Dr Stangaciu HERE Episode 20 of this Podcast. Paula shares more details about the inspiration of Chapter 3 in her Spiritual Beekeeping Workbook.
