Come as You Are
Create • Connect • Belong
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit advancing creative health, wellness, and social healing through accessible, trauma-informed expressive arts, mindful movement, nature, and compassionate community.
Rooted in community, we work to end loneliness and mental health stigma and create a world where everyone can heal, connect, and belong.
A Healing Path for Everyone
We believe no one should heal alone and that creativity and community support human flourishing. We especially serve those with limited access to healing and connection, including elders, caregivers, trauma survivors, helping professionals, and people navigating mental health challenges, grief, stress, and isolation.
We offer a community-centered model of creative health and wellness through non-clinical expressive arts and mind-body experiences that can support well-being, resilience, and individual and collective healing.
Everyone is welcome, and no one is turned away because of financial hardship.

Meet our co-founders: Marga & Geanina
The Pollinators Foundation was founded in 2022 by mother-daughter Marga Fripp and Geanina Fripp Emerson. Their heart-led work is inspired by their shared experiences as caregivers, Marga’s 30+ years of nonprofit leadership empowering women, trauma survivors, and diverse immigrant communities, and their shared belief in the healing power of the arts, compassion, and community.
Today, Marga leads the foundation as Executive Director, while Geanina serves on the Board, helping steward the vision they created together.
Meet the Healing Collective
Many gifts. One shared purpose: healing.
Our Hive brings together practitioners, teachers, artists, gardeners, counselors, and community nurturers who hold welcoming spaces for connection and care.
Through mindful movement, expressive arts, Reiki, sound, music, plants, counseling, and embodied practice, each member offers another doorway to well-being.
Stories of Healing
Real experiences. Lasting connection.
Creativity, movement, nature, and compassionate community help people find renewed hope, calm, and belonging.
“The Healing Hive and the community I found through the Pollinators have been a healing balm for my mind and soul.”
— Mary C.
