Honeycomb

A day of meaningful play, heartfelt connection, and a delicious potluck feast!

HONEYCOMB 🍯

Good humans. Brave conversations. Sweet connections.

Welcome to Honeycomb, a monthly gathering where we come together for meaningful play and a rejuvenating soak in community. A place to bring your whole, gloriously imperfect self and discover what becomes possible when we get real together.

What to Expect?

Connection Playground — We'll begin with authentic relating experiences designed to help us drop in, connect, and discover more of one another.

ZEGG Forum — A profound community practice of seeing and being seen.

Community Potluck — A shared feast and time to enjoy each other's company.

A Little Something Extra — After dinner, the adventure continues! Each month brings a different offering — perhaps improv, singing, embodied connection, or another delightful community experiment.

A Little More About ZEGG Forum

ZEGG Forum is a powerful practice of making the invisible visible.

Our community sits in a circle, creating a stage where one person at a time can step forward and share whatever is authentic, alive, and true for them. Facilitators may help the presenter explore and reveal themselves more deeply, and afterward, community members may offer reflections, known as “mirrors.”

No prior experience is needed, and there's never any pressure to step into the center or an expectation to share more than feels right for you. Simply witnessing can be a rich experience in itself.

A Taste of New Culture

Honeycomb is inspired by New Culture — an exploration of how we can create more loving, authentic, and connected ways of relating. At its heart are values like self-awareness, honest communication, consent, personal freedom, and the power of community.

These are things we get to dip into together at Honeycomb.

Shared Leadership & Experimentation

Honeycomb embraces shared leadership, experimentation, and the freedom to be safely imperfect.

Have a connection experience or activity you'd like to offer? We'd love to hear about it!
