About the Cabinet

the Community Medicine Cabinet was founded by Madalyn Berg (she/ ella) in 2014. Born in San Francisco, CA to Colombian, Italian and Ukranian Jewish Parents, Madalyn is a social practice artist, clinical herbalist, and educator living Santa Rosa, CA. 

At the Cabinet our work is creative and ultimately our goal is to invite ecological and interpersonal (re)connection through the lens of plant medicine.

One part nature connection, one part art practice, and one part health education, the cabinet is built with three compartments supporting our consultations, classes, and an evolving apothecary. This work is oriented around practices- observation, collection, medicine processing, and story listening- that all invite connection.

Putting Community in the Cabinet

Our subscribers are a gaggle of artists and plant nerds, fellow humans from all walks of life. It’s important to us to be an accessible resource and our newsletter is a part of making information about herbal medicine freely available.

We like that Substack is an App without all the scrolling and we’re here to make content for ourselves and each other instead of the algorithm.
