There is no constant or correct way of being a body.

Engaging creatively with

 +  Body

 +  Earth

 +  Community

is healing in itself  :~)⁣⁣

an ecosystem of care + creativity

=

a collection of perspectives + fantasies

of being a body

=

inspired by the

fluidity of life with chronic pain + disorderly moods.

As we create, 

we keep in mind that we all have unique ways of moving through the world 

being present + processing information, 

and that our abilities may even shift from day to day.

We strive to center access for our diverse chronically ill + disabled + neurodivergent communities, 

who share some of the experiences that inspire this work. 

Access is love!

Our site is designed for compatibility with a screen-reader, 

and every image + video is captioned for the visually impaired. 

Same goes for our Instagram posts.

All virtual events are live captioned.

To accommodate those (like us) with chemical sensitivities, 

our offerings are made + shipped in a workshop free of synthetic fragrance, 

and all the cleaning products we use are unscented + non-toxic. 

We do not use essential oils in our products, which can be irritating for those with sensitive skin.

Our formulas + classes are offered on a sliding scale.

We welcome requests for changes to make our world more accessible to you! 

Accessibility is a process—we are always learning.  

Our approach to movement combines various modalities

with various subjects of study

to create a variety of therapeutic + athletic + creative movement offerings 

that center people with complicated body experiences. 

We offer private one-on-one + small group sessions

as well as public workshops + classes. 

We make our formulas with herbs we grow 

or sustainably wild-tend around the edges of our home/farm when abundant. 

We start organic seeds in tested soil + never use chemicals. 

Our little herb farm is right outside the workshop!

If we need an herb we can’t harvest ourselves, 

we reach out to people we know + love who run small organic farms.

If we still can’t find what we need (rare) we’ll hit up a trusted organic bulk source.

Importing herbs from other countries makes it difficult to ensure freshness + a transparent supply chain, 

and creates more pollution due to excessive shipping—so we don’t do it.

Whenever possible, we prefer to connect with organisms grown closest to our own bioregion, 

with whom we have a tangible relationship. <3

We work with psychoactive funghi + plants (like Cannabis) from an herbalist's perspective, 

respecting the plants as medicine + as teachers. 

We actively promote equitable access, jail support,

 and an end to the racist "war on drugs."

Our packaging is made in limited editions, in collaboration

with different artists (friends) 

with different body experiences

so we can explore through many perspectives 

and always be creating, together.  :~)

Your orders are shipped in 100% recycled biodegradable boxes + wrapping paper, made in Colorado/Ute + Cheyenne Land.

Our formulas are bottled in recyclable glass containers, made in Europe. Their dark violet color helps protect the ingredients within, keeping them fresh + active. 

We re-use our bottles + jars! Request a free shipping label to send us yours. 

Financial resources shouldn’t be the determining factor in whether or not we can access care.

Offering payment on a sliding scale is an attempt to help this work reach people from a diversity of economic backgrounds.

If you are able to pay on the high end of the scale, please do! 

The highest cost listed reflects the true cost, intended for those who are able to meet all their basic needs 

(food, housing, transportation).

We trust you to pay what you can afford and what feels right to you. Doing so will help others to access this care, and help keep this work sustainable.

If the low end of the scale is still inaccessible to you, reach out and we will figure something out. 

Wherever you are on the scale, this care is for you.

:~) 

Our Living Library is a portal to free + subscription-based writings where we explore scientific + spiritual themes through experiential, embodied language—a dimensional mix of research, poetry, personal commentary + quotes from our teachers.

Our first physical publication, WRITE EARTH is now available in the webshop.

We're working on more books.  :~)

We're working to develop GOODWITCH as a sustainable ecosystem of care, where resources flow toward those who are systematically denied access to "wellness" + "healing."

In 2020, we co-founded the Herbal Mutual Aid Network—a grassroots organization providing free plant-based care as reparations. Our farm + workshop double as production space for free medicine and space to gather + collaborate with fellow community organizers. 

Your purchases + donations + shout-outs help us to sustain this work—Thank You! 

Our new Studio is a space for herbal formulation + art projects 

and a space for visits—

public herbalism + movement workshops

and 

private herbal consultations, somatic coaching + strength training sessions.

We also offer curbside pickup for webshop orders

and free Studio Visits for those who want to stop in with a few questions + shop the Apothecary in person.

We're located at 

34 Allen Street in Hudson, NY

Just a block-ish away from the Hudson Amtrak station—

a direct 2 hour train ride from NYC's Penn Station.

Our private entrance is on the left side of the building. 

Entry requires a few stairs. 

Once inside, the space + restrooms are wheelchair accessible. 

Open by appointment only. 

We look forward to having you over! 

:~)

Most days it's just our founder in the studio.

Sometimes (during a big harvest or prepping for an event) we get studio support from friends, including Tyi Jones and Moth Morgenson.

Every creative aspect of our practice is collaborative:

Herbs we don't grow often come from local friends at Gentle Time Farm.

Graphic design is created with Caroline David.

Nearly all our writing is shared with brilliant writer + writing coach, L.A. Warman before it's published.

Our website was created by Jon Lucas. 

Other current collaborators include Gabrielle Rosenstein, Precious Okoyomon, Dachi Cole, Maia Ruth Lee + ...

Creative direction, writing, teaching + formulation are done by our founder. 

Remy is an herbalist, artist, movement facilitator + community organizer 

working to create collective language around care + embodiment.

She makes herbal formulas, images, writings + movement-based mediations through GOODWITCH, 

her interdisciplinary care practice since 2013.

Fluctuating abilties shape her focus around accessibility + interdependence. All her work is collaborative.

Her certifications + trainings include herbalism, the science of Meridians (TCM), 

Pilates, and integrative somatics.*

Areas of independent study + practice include dance, neuroscience of the somatosensory system, performance art, poetry and metalwork.

* Remy is a somatic meditation and movement facilitator, not a therapist. Her work is informed in part by trainings and certifications received from licensed therapists, but it does not resemble therapy. :~)
