BEREA, Ky. — A FreeSkool learning session in Berea on Sunday, Feb. 22, will focus on practical herbal approaches that people use to support the nervous system during stressful seasons.
The class, “Herbs to Support the Nervous System, Stress, & Resilience,” is scheduled for 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at HomeGrown HideAways.
🌿 What the Session Covers
The session is led by clinical herbalist Lauren Kallmeyer of Resilient Roots. According to the event listing, the class will cover herbs that may help support the nervous system, decrease stress, and build resilience. Participants will be able to sample herbal teas during the program, and while attendees have the option to purchase products Kallmeyer grows and processes locally in Madison County, the listing notes that no purchase is required.
💡 Why It Matters for Locals
For locals, this kind of class sits in a useful, practical middle ground. It is not a medical appointment, and it is not a sales pitch. It is a chance to learn the basics, ask questions, and leave with a clearer idea of what people mean when they talk about “nervines,” calming teas, and day-to-day plant support—as well as what to be cautious about.
📋 Logistics & Accessibility
A few logistics matter if you plan to go:
- Cost: Free
- Registration: Required (Limited to 20 participants)
