We're Officially Relaunched!
Published on May 30, 2023 by Remy Maelen



Herbal Mutual Aid Network is officially back! 

As of today, our 3rd birthday (!), we have made a public call for fundraising and began distribution on our Free Brand of herbal formulas—always free, never for sale—designed in collaboration with herbalists whose identities reflect the communities we serve. 

The first formula, We Flesh, created with Jess Turner of Olamina Botanicals is a topical oil for aches, pains and wound care—is formulated with locally grown herbs + flower essences to create a physical and energetic seal of protection. It’s beautiful! With your support, we’ll be pouring 500 bottles this month. 

Our first round of access points for this formula will be IN PERSON through various community organizations and events in Hudson, NY, prioritizing access for low income longterm residents. Details will be announced tomorrow. 

Additional access points coast-to-coast will be announced when we meet our budget. 

To access physical + virtual offerings, join the Network at www.hman.love and stay posted on IG @goodwitch.world for updates. 

Our new operating structure centers local organizers coast to coast and is based in collaborative decision making, energetic sustainability for our organizers and fiscal transparency. We are very excited to share our current projects and the team of collaborators we’ve been building over the last 3 years! Including Arvolyn Hill, Jess Turner, Star Feliz, Kale Mays, Nkoula Badila, Kelsey Lu, Aminah Nieves, Mesiah Sweetgrass, Kaija Xiao at Gentle Time Farm, Isabel Avina, Felice Graham, Tyi Jones … and many more … as well as Earth Arts Center who provides our fiscal sponsorship.

To all our care recipients, donors and collaborators, THANK YOU for being a part of our community so far! We’re honored to take this next step with you.
