co-creating & Collective care
Rooted in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, in what is named "Barrio Boriken", The Honeycomb Network is a vibrant, Puerto Rican femme-owned hub where art, healing, and social transformation converge.
Connecting a collective that believes our remedies are co-created beyond the individual and that cultural exchange and community care is key in our ability to thrive.
We center healing justice strategies, collaborating with local BIPOC holistic artists, educators, cultural workers, land stewards, energy practitioners, authors, and therapists.
Together, we cultivate + curate spaces where expressive arts, accessible knowledge, and a well being praxis intersect. Holistically supporting individuals and amplifying the brilliance, resilience, and ancestral wisdom of the communities we serve.
From immersive healing arts workshops, herbal classes, and somatic movement and pop-ups to cultural celebrations, community reading salons, and dialogues. Our dynamic curation of programming interplays traditional modalities with forward facing solutions. We honor land reconnection, celebrate creative play, and practice regenerative futures of collaboration.

THE FINAL SHEDDING:
A Threshold Ritual Before the Lunar New Year
As we approach the Lunar New Year and the Fire cycle ahead, we pause to honor the final shedding, the last layer, story, attachment, or pattern that cannot cross with us.
The Last Shedding is a somatic and ritual container rooted in the Embodied Alchemy framework, co-created through The Honeycomb Network and Liberated Learning. Together, we work with endings as fertile ground, returning what has completed its cycle back to the earth so it may transform and nourish what comes next.
Through our cohort created collective oracle, we’ll receive shared messages that guide:
Somatic practices to support embodied release
Journaling prompts to name and witness what is cycling out
Herbal allies to ground and assist the process
A burial ritual for what we can no longer carry forward, returning it to the ground with reverence
Together, we will clear, close, and cross the threshold into the next chapter
PUERTO RICAN PLANT LINEAGE STUDY
A SEVEN MONTH HERBAL INTENSIVE
We invite you to join our seven-month Puerto Rican Plant Lineage Study: a slow, intentional cycle of learning and relationship with medicinal plants of Borikén.
Each month, we’ll study one plant in depth:
Cundeamor, Anamu, Rompe Zaragüey, Guanábana leaf, Guayaba leaf, Ortiga, and Malagueta.
This is a devotional study rooted in cultural memory, accessibility, and respect for plant medicine traditions.
Begins February 13th, 2026!
