Coast to Coast Salmon is a small, fisherman-owned business based in Lincolnville connecting Maine communities to wild sockeye salmon, sustainably harvested in Bristol Bay, Alaska - direct from fishermen Courtney & John Sidik. Our pickup days are meant to connect more Maine households with wild sockeye and to give folks a chance to talk with their fishermen, ask questions about where their fish comes from and most importantly to celebrate wild, nourishing and truly sustainable seafood while supporting fishermen who catch it. is partnering with to provide a convenient pick-up location to our Portland community.

Pickup day offers: Bulk Options: 10lbs - $220, 15lbs - $315, 20lbs - $400
    This is top-quality wild sockeye salmon from our boat and other independent fishermen on the bay.

We’d invite the community to pre-order by June 15th to reserve a share of salmon from the limited supply brought back. After that deadline, you may still order as long as inventory allows.  Orders can be placed by emailing coasttocoastsalmon@gmail.com or at www.coasttocoastsalmon.com (link in bio) where Good Medicine Collective will be listed as a pickup location. We encourage friends to order together to share the salmon and savings!

We may also bring a small selection of partner products if there’s interest (canned smoked salmon, salmon jerky, and wild Maine seaweed from Maine Coast Sea Vegetables), though the focus is on bulk orders.

Join us on April 8th 6-8pm for a special Psychedelic Studio in honor of Bicycle Day—a moment in history that quietly opened the doors of perception for generations to come. We’ll begin with a short historical video exploring the origins and significance of this day, then move into an open, community-centered space for storytelling, reflection, and conversation.

This evening is an invitation to gather in curiosity and reverence—for the history, for our own experiences, and for the ways these medicines continue to shape healing and consciousness.

Come as you are. Listen, share, and be part of the unfolding dialogue.

All proceeds support ongoing education and community building around consciousness, culture and healing. Link to register in bio.

Celebrate teacher appreciation week by joining us for a special fundraising event to support the vital and incredible educators in our community!

Riverbird and Good Medicine Collective are hosting a community screening of When It Breaks, a documentary following the “inspiring story of Special Education teacher Konrad Wert and his personal journey from teacher burnout through becoming a folk-singing advocate. Stepping away from the classroom, Wert turns to his musical side career as a means to tour the country with his family and engage teachers, parents, and audiences in a conversation about the current state of Special Education and the epidemic of Teacher Burnout. As opportunities arise, Konrad must decide how his service is most effective- as an advocating artist or as a teacher in the classroom.”

Teaching is an invaluable profession and is also notoriously under-supported and underpaid, leading to burnout. This July, Riverbird Clinic is offering an Educator Resilience Retreat as a way to care for, nourish and help restore our educators. 100% of the proceeds we raise from this event will go directly to supporting accessibility to this retreat for our community educators. Come help us care for our beloved teachers!

Our evening will begin with an open-mic poetry reading. Share your own words, or the words of another poet who has impacted you, or simply receive in the audience. We’ve found that pairing film screenings with shared poetry creates a uniquely intimate and connective experience. After you make a donation for your ticket, a link to sign up to share a poem if you wish will be in your registration email.

For this month’s PSYCHEDELIC STUDIO, Good Medicine Collective hosts anthropologist and chaplain Bonnie Glass-Coffin from Utah State to discuss 5-MeO-DMT. It is one of the most potent psychoactive substances on the planet and has been foundational to spiritual practices in South America (and the Caribbean) for at least 5000 years. It is an increasingly popular alternative to other tryptamine psychedelics because it is short-acting, easy to use, and because it has few side effects .

Bonnie will present a general overview of the history and current use of this powerful plant in a spiritually-informed understanding. The evening will include community participation in building a despacho. This is an earth-honoring gratitude ritual, native to the Andes. We hope you will join us for this informative and experiential gathering.

in collaboration with Good Medicine Collective and .mechanics, is deeply honored to hold an empathetic, safe, and nurturing space for grief, gratitude, and community. Join us and a team of over 20 facilitators, healers, social workers, death doulas, grief counselors, art therapists, shamans, and performers. Space is limited to 100 participants.

Grief and gratitude are not meant to be solitary, though today many of us grieve and give thanks alone; communal ritual offers the opportunity to witness one another’s pain and joy, share our stories of heartbreak and heart-made, and to hold each other as we journey into the depth of our collective sorrow so that we may more fully experience the joy of being alive and connected to each other and the world around us.

This event will include:
• poetry and song
• an invocation to the unseen world through spoken word and drumming
• grounding somatic movement practices to help us find deep support as we unwind and soften the bracing in our bodies
• time to explore different healing modalities including Reiki, art therapy, and more
• the creation of a beautiful shrine
• guided writing practices that include an opportunity to share and witness in small groups
• dancing and singing together to let our feelings move through us and back into the world

Robin Wall Kimmerer writes, “If grief can be a doorway to love, then let us all weep for the world we are breaking apart so we can love it back to wholeness again.”

Join us Wednesday, Feb 11th 6-8pm for our next Psychedelic Studio featuring Sarah Seigel- IFS practitioner, ordained Interfaith Minister, Recovery and Mindfulness Meditation Coach. We will explore Iboga within both its traditional Bwiti context in southern Gabon and its contemporary clinical relevance. Initiated into the Bwiti tradition, Sarah brings a rare perspective on how lineage-based spiritual frameworks shape the safety, meaning, and integration of powerful psychoactive medicines.

Drawing on personal experience with ibogaine in addiction treatment, Sarah will briefly address the distinctions between ibogaine (a single alkaloid) and Iboga (the whole root bark), while keeping the primary focus on the role of ritual, community, and integration in supporting therapeutic outcomes. This conversation will examine the challenges and responsibilities involved in translating an initiatory tradition for Western clinical and cultural contexts.

Sarah is co founder with Ryan Rich of Bassé Root Church in the USA.

At Good Medicine Collective, we stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors and recognize that recent events have created real fear and uncertainty for many in our community. We are committed to offering care rooted in dignity and belonging, and to providing healthcare and wellness services in a calm, safe, and welcoming environment for all.

As part of our ongoing commitment to wellness and belonging for immigrant individuals and families, clinicians at Good Medicine have long provided no-cost medical services, including required exams for those seeking permanent residency.

In response to the current climate, we are making thoughtful adjustments to how this care is provided in order to prioritize community safety and privacy.

We hold the safety and well-being of our entire community at the heart of everything we do. Our intention is to ensure that Good Medicine remains a space where people feel safe, supported, and protected, especially those who may be most vulnerable right now.

If you’d like to support this work and our immigrant neighbors, please donate via the link in bio.
