The Apothecary
COMMUNITY IS OUR MEDICINE
Thursday-Saturday:11AM-5PM
Sunday-Wednesday: Closed
The Apothecary at Shelterwood Collective is a welcoming, street-level space in Pioneer Square designed to foster community, creativity, and healing. We stock items to help support your daily rituals, growth, and grounding.
GIVING TREE
This season, we’re tending to what matters most: each other.
As the year comes to a close and our community moves through both celebration and strain, we want to be intentional about supporting folks who are particularly vulnerable right now: our neighbors experiencing food insecurity, immigrants, undocumented families, unhoused neighbors, and elders.
Now through Winter Solstice, Shelterwood Collective and Casa di LaValle are hosting a Giving Tree, shining light on organizations doing essential, dignity-affirming work in our neighborhoods.
Each week, we will uplift one of four grassroots organizations dedicated to supporting safety, nourishment, and resilience in our community. If you are shopping with us in person, you are invited to make a contribution at checkout, and we’ll gift you a special ornament as a thank-you. You are also welcome to donate directly online. Let’s make this season one of generosity, joy, and solidarity.
Organizations we’ll be supporting:
El Centro de la Raza
A beloved cultural, educational, and justice-driven home for immigrant and Latinx communities in Seattle and King County. They have a food bank, hot lunch, senior programs, after school care, legal advocates, financial advisers, and more. We encourage you to buy your Christmas trees from El Centro this year — it will bring joy to your home and help sustain 43 critical community services.
FamilyWorks
With a Food Bank, Family Resource Center, and a growing network of mobile and satellite service locations, FamilyWorks serves families who have been marginalized by food, economic, and racial injustice.
Long Haul Kitchen
Offering mutual aid for unsheltered and unhoused folks in Georgetown and SoDo, LHK provides aid without barriers and focuses on access to high-quality, nutritious, and delicious food; harm reduction; and other essential supplies.
Wa Na Wari
Wa Na Wari means “Our Home” and their Love Offering program is one of many serving Black and Indigenous folks in the Central District. They work with local farmers and organizations to source fresh ingredients and Black/Indigenous chefs to prepare well-balanced, nutritious, and culturally relevant meals at no cost to the community.
Our Giving Tree is an altar to collective care — a reminder that in uncertain times, our power is in how we show up for one another. Thank you for helping us make this season one of generosity, solidarity, and shared community magic.
A Place to Gather
Our space is oriented around a communal table and our guiding mantra is "Community is our medicine.” Our vision is to steward an inclusive gathering place where people connect through shared experiences of beauty, creativity, and communion. We host Artists as a part of Pioneer Square’s First Thursday Art Walk as well as community events and classes.

Small Reverences
a solo Exhibition by Calley Morrison
November 6-January 31
Calley Morrison
Calley is a weaver, textile artist, cloth-tinkerer, and natural-dyer. She started weaving in 2015 and currently works on a multi-harness floor loom out of her studio in Ballard. On the loom, her practice centers around exploring optical mixing and composition through traditional overshot motifs and naturally-dyed warps. Off the loom, she incorporates cutting and folding and stitching the textiles into new shapes and forms. Through a combination of wall hangings, framed fragments, and the cloth pal series, she strives to share a depiction of her process and experimentation.
Visit her website to view more of her work.

This collection of works is offered as flags for small reverences. Each piece is a symbol of a moment, of sitting at the loom in quiet ceremony, of mixing weld yellow with indigo blue in gentle experimentation, of contemplating composition along the warp. The textile becomes a flag, a tiny monument to the acts of weaving, dyeing, and becoming.
Within each textile is held both the joy of what was achieved and the sorrow for what was lost, what might have been, had different choices been made.
