3x Reishi Layer Cake <3 <3 <3 This last week in the lab has been all about pressing tinctures made over the harvest season, which is decidedly behind us now.
This one produced a triple extract — capturing a full spectrum of water and alcohol-soluble constituents through a process of boiling and cold soaking a few different batches of the fruiting body, and combining the resulting extractions: aromatics, starches, alkaloids and other compounds make it into the final product and join a conversation with your body.
Most of the strained liquid Reishi tincture gets batched into our Steady Mood Tonic.
Some is bottled solo and set aside on the apothecary shelves for Singles + Custom Blends, which you can also order in the web shop.
But first, the extracted and compressed mushroom ‘cake’ gets fully dried in the dehydrator, burnt to ash, and then processed into purified cell salts, and finally, added back into the tincture. (Spagyric process).
The remaining part of the ash is processed into something special for a new project involving … pigments. Let’s keep it vague for now :)
Over the years, process is getting slower and deeper.
Nothing goes to waste <3
***DATE SHIFT!!***🌀🎼BODY LYRICIST with @_sigridlauren at @goodwitch.world on Saturday 12/13 from 1-3pm!
Sigrid is back for an open level dance workshop for every body :))) 🎵 🌀🕳️
Dance as poetry, power, and prayer
Our session begins with an aerobic warm-up before moving into four choreographic phrases that weave together synchronized movement and improvisation for cathartic release.
Movement and emotion exist in a continuous loop: each gesture evokes feeling, and each feeling shapes the next movement.
Class culminates in assembling our phrases into a sequence drawn from Sigrid’s choreographic repertoire: a structure for movers to embody, express and excavate.
Open to all levels of movement experience, ages 18 and up.
Herbs provided from the GOODWITCH apothecary, to support our practice.
Spots are limited.
Pre-register!
Discount for Studio Members :)
GW Studio is a 4 minute walk from the Hudson Amtrak station. No car needed for day-trippers. Lots of walkable spots for food nearby. Buy train tickets early to avoid surge pricing!

˚✧₊⁎⁺❝᷀ົཽ≀ˍ̮ ❝᷀ົཽ⁎⁺˳ ✧༚ VERVAIN: somatic herbalism workshop this Thursday from 6-745pm, virtual + IRL :~)
So excited to reopen my herbal teaching practice with this new hybrid online/in-person container, inspired by our monthly Tarot Club meetings.
Each month in Tarot Club, we’ve been meditating with a seasonal herb, chatting about a corresponding card/archetype, and hanging out reading for ourselves and others. It’s feeling so good to have that easy space to learn and connect with each other.
You might remember BODYSPELL online way back in 2020, or maybe you attended one IRL at Performance Space over the last few years.
This practice is near & dear & truly at the heart of how I work with the herbs creatively and as medicine.
Since Tarot Club has been such a smash, I’m reviving BODYSPELL as a deep-dive into our monthly herb—we’ll share medicinal, folkloric, ethnobotanical and personal plant stories. We’ll flow back and forth between personal process and collective sharing, moving, meditating, drawing, writing, talking…
This is a practice for deepening and affirming your relationship with the herbs.
More info up in the place^
