The mission of the Solidarity Apothecary is to materially support revolutionary struggles and communities with plant medicines to strengthen collective autonomy, self defence and resilience to climate change, capitalism and state violence.
This post shares a rundown of what is available now and what is planned for 2026!
Herbal Solidarity
1:1 Herbal Support
Solidarity Apothecary Clinic
I’m finally officially opening the doors again to new 1:1 clients! The Solidarity Apothecary 1:1 clinic is a sliding scale offering where you can access in-depth personalised herbal support online and medicines are sent in the post. Check out the clinic website here for full info: https://clinic.solidarityapothecary.org/
Black Flag Herbal Clinic
I am so damn excited to announce this new project! I wanted to have a separate structure specifically to support the anarchist movement that could over time become a distinct collective project. The Black Flag Herbal Clinic is a free anarchist clinic offering herbal support to comrades across the world. It offers online one-to-one herbal consultations for comrades whose health has been eroded by organising, repression, trauma or the sheer endurance of surviving under capitalism. Learn more:

There are also opportunities for students to get involved so please check it out if you’re studying herbalism!
Herbal Care Packages
Distributing herbal care packages will continue to be a big part of the Solidarity Apothecary’s work. Herbal care packages are available for people experiencing repression, prisoner family members, grassroots groups, hunt Sabs and for people living at sites of resistance.

Group Programmes
After launching the Hawthorn programme in 2025, I’m now in love with this collective model of care where people access both a supportive group chat and regular calls, as well as individualised herbal support. These are the group programmes I’ll be moving through in 2026:
Rooted in Struggle (Late January – April)
A programme for burnt out grassroots organisers, anarchists and people involved in community care who are carrying the long term stress, exhaustion and heartbreak of ongoing struggle. Learn more: https://solidarityapothecary.org/rooted/
Rose Group Programme (April – June)
A programme for people who love someone in prison and are carrying the emotional labour, grief and stress of supporting them. Learn more: https://solidarityapothecary.org/rose/
Hawthorn Group Programme (September – November)
A programme for people experiencing state repression because of their work towards liberation. Learn more: https://solidarityapothecary.org/hawthorn/
Healing from Incarceration (November – January 2027)
A group programme for former prisoners to create a container of collective care and herbal support to help heal from incarceration. Info page coming soon.

Frontline Herbalism Membership
This project is being developed as a long term home for herbalists taking action, whether that is responding to acute needs on the streets, supporting communities navigating systemic violence, or building herbal infrastructure for a rapidly changing and increasingly unstable world.
The membership will include multiple learning pathways, including:
- Herbal Street Medicine
- Disaster and Crisis Response
- Community Herbalism
Alongside this, there will be a forum, regular calls, guest teachers and practical support for people organising herbal mutual aid and frontline projects.
