Hive Love

Community Values

Throughout our different experiences together we uphold 6 core values to keep our interactions connected, consensual, and caring.

PEOPLE

We are all connected at a deeper, spiritual level and we are caring in our interactions - emotionally, physically and spiritually. We honor one another.

PURPOSE

Together, we create gatherings where we can learn and practice authentic connection, affection and play in healthy, caring ways. We choose to engage in activities that foster healthy growth and support each other’s physical and emotional well-being.

PRESENCE

We share our full authentic selves and are attentive to our own bodies, feelings, and needs. We show presence through participating, volunteering, and sharing our resources. 

PLEASURE

It’s our nature to experience and embody pleasure. As we hold a safe and consensual container, we are able to immerse ourselves in pleasure and play. 

PLANET

We seek to care for the earth as a beloved.

PASSION

We encourage one another to find what ignites our passions and let our passions guide our interactions and connections.

Hive Love

Community Vision

Hive Love is rooted in the sacred and guided by the African concept of Ubuntu. We are creating interconnected and interdependent communities that…

  • Honor each other and nurture our whole selves

  • Demonstrate compassion, kindness, caring, generosity, and empathy

  • Practice appreciation, clear communication, consent, boundaries, and personal responsibility

  • Emphasize inclusivity, empowerment, connection, abundance and interdependence

  • Value authenticity, honesty, integrity, and personal growth

Hive Love began in 2023 and is centered in:

  • Inclusive, Diverse, and Shared Female and Gender Non-Binary Leadership

  • Connection, Service and Community Building

  • Both teaching and learning from one another (each person’s wisdom and contribution)

  • Heart Centered Interactions

  • All forms of Intimacy

  • Transparency

  • Ecosex

  • Accountability

  • Vitality

  • Sustainability

Our Hive Love vision is in contrast/response to:

  • Capitalism (profits over people), racism, and all other “isms”

  • Oppression, repressive, and control

  • Problematic and inadequate responses to consent violations 

  • Lack of transparency in community leadership

  • Patriarchal and oppressive mindsets and behaviors within sex-positive communities

  • Cults of personality and single, centralized power/power-over
