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.

THERAPIST IG LIVE Chat!
Join us for our a talk with our newest partnered therapist, Charisma Thapa on January 26th during a 1-hour IG Live conversation where we’ll be exploring EFT Tapping — a powerful and accessible practice for regulating the nervous system and gently clearing stuck emotional energy.
So many of us right now are carrying anxiety, grief, anger, and a profound sense of powerlessness. During our conversation, we’ll share our experiences with tapping, how it can support the release of anxiety, and how it helps restore a felt sense of relief, grounding, and agency amid overwhelm.
