Herbalist and Aromatherapist Sheridan Semple Connects Express Yourself with Local Plants

sheridansemple.com

KDNK’s Megan Tackett and Raleigh Burleigh speak to local herbalist Sheridan Semple. Sheridan is offering a series of classes about our native plants and their medicinal uses in the Roaring Fork Valley. The first class is at True Nature on at May 11 at 2:30 with focus on evergreens.

Raleigh Burleigh was raised in the historic floodplanes of Satank. The Carbondale Rotary Club sponsored him as a youth ambassador to Chile the year before his graduation from Roaring Fork High School. He studied International Affairs and Journalism at the University of Colorado, Boulder then applied those studies traveling throughout South America the following year. Returning to Carbondale thereafter, Raleigh acquired an internship with KDNK News which led to the opportunity to serve as News Director from 2017 to 2019. After another trip to South America in early 2019, Raleigh Burleigh drew deeper into the confluence as Program Director at KDNK. Raleigh now serves on KDNK's board of directors and as editor of Carbondale's weekly newspaper, The Sopris Sun.
Megan Tackett is the host of Express Yourself, KDNK's weekly arts show, and Everything Under the Sun. Megan also hosts All Things Considered on Fridays and is a reporter for Carbondale's weekly nonprofit newspaper: The Sopris Sun.
