Stress and the Brain

Stress is at the heart of every disorder. Just like rust, stress
corrodes whatever container it’s in. Each person’s body responds differently to stress, whether it’s anxiety/depression,
digestive problems, heart disease, autoimmunity, or weight
gain. So let’s talk about how the brain reacts to stress and
what we can do about it! When the brain is regulated, choices become less impulsive (especially food choices) and we
can mesh with the world instead of busily react to it. Instructor: Anne Buzzelli of Buzz Nutrition, Staunton Public Library,
6pm-8pm on July 29. Price: FREE or 2 hOURS. Please let us

Introduction to Permaculture Design:
A Garden-inspired Workshop

What if you could plant a garden that would feed your family,
provide entertainment and engagement for your community,
educate yourself and your children, and nourish the soil in
a way that left the earth MORE productive and sustainable
than when you started? This is the idea of permaculture,
an ecological design theory that seeks to build agricultural
and cultural systems that not only sustain, but create greater
health and vibrancy. This two-evening workshop will focus on
the theory of permaculture design the first night and on more
specific garden applications the second evening. Whether
you are a new gardener just beginning, or a green thumb
seeking to reimagine your garden design, this workshop will
be a fun, creative exploration of the possibilities of permaculture in the garden. Instructor: Meghan Williamson and Holly
Parker. MHPA, 6pm-8:30pm on May 8 and May 15. Price: 2.5
hOURS. Please call to let us know you are coming:
