“We exist because our world is hurting, but we can do something about it. We can bear gifts of care, kindness, and joy to nourish and heal our world’s beating heart.”
— Marga Fripp, co-Founder & CEO

The Healing Hive at Folkmoot
Our studio space, The Healing Hive, is a healing arts sanctuary—a place where mindful movement Qigong, therapeutic art, dance, and nature-based healing come together in compassionate community care.
In a time when many feel lonely and disconnected, we, The Pollinators, stand united with a clear intention: to amplify the good and take "baby giant steps" toward collective well-being, balance, and belonging. Together, we create nurturing communities that help us navigate personal and shared struggles, humanize the mental health conversation, foster meaningful connections, and support healing and peace for all.
Bee a Pollinator of Hope and Healing!
Your tax-deductible gift—one-time or monthly—sustains our sanctuary of care, making compassionate connection and healing arts accessible and free for those who need it most.

The Pollinators Declaration for a Flourishing World
The Pollinators Foundation is a 501(c)(3) on a mission to end the stigma around mental health and foster healing and well-being through the transformative power of art, movement, nature, and mind-body practices.
Through trauma-informed healing arts practices—blending compassionate community care with mindful movement Qigong, therapeutic art, dance, and nature-based healing—we support people’s healing and well-being while cultivating a future free from mental health stigma, where differences are celebrated, and every individual is valued for who they are.
These scientifically proven and time-tested practices help reduce stress and loneliness; support emotional, physical, and mental well-being; amplify joy and gratitude; and strengthen community and belonging.
Healing happens in community. Like bees in a hive, we each contribute to the well-being of the whole. No bee alone can sustain the colony, just as no person thrives in isolation. To truly flourish, we need each other—working in unity, serving the highest good of all. Our vision is to end the epidemic of loneliness and the stigma surrounding mental health, and to empower people to restore dignity, self-worth, and purpose.

“What if we created a beloved community, a sanctuary of care where everyone mattered, and our collective pain, grief, and struggle became the pollen that nourishes the garden of life?”
