Learn to create new neural pathways to promote a balanced mood at Herbal Magic: The Power of Aromatherapy on Wednesday, January 27 from 5-7 p.m. in the Evergreen Lodge.
Instructor Candy Reeder will teach students how aromas travel through the limbic system and send messages to turn off the fight/flight response. The more you use the support of aroma, the stronger the pathways that reduce stress will become! Students will explore using herbs found in everyday life to support their most confident, joyful, and productive self.

About the instructor:
In 2018 Candy Reeder moved from a busy city to Champaign, where she truly met nature. She began gardening and wild schooling with her six kids, learning about native plants and wildlife, how to both give to and receive from Earth, creating natural remedies from “weeds”, and the power of connecting with nature to balance stress and sadness. Candy’s business is called Joyfully Blooming because she loves helping people find joy in discovering their authentic, natural self, hidden under the facade of social demands.
