We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Candice Covington. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Candice below.

Candice, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?

1. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build.

I would love to leave an inheritance of curiosity, the desire to explore concepts, and hopefully aid others in developing a rich relationship with the plant-kingdom; sharing how these allies can support personal growth on all levels of being including: mental, emotional, soul and spirit.

2. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone?

That my work is a love-letter to and from Nature.

3. What do you hope to be remembered for?

Creating simple Nature-based systems that allow individuals to work with and in fact consciously craft the very fabric of their being, by leveraging the rich natural world around them through resonance. Allowing people to access the aspects of self that set behaviors into motion but are not controlled by the mind or sheer will alone, ultimately allowing true change to occur.

To make commonplace the knowing: we are vibrational beings in a constant state of flux, and that a significant key to our well-being and growth is reinforcement of our desired energetic patterns. Teaching how to recognize inharmonic patterns in ourselves, identify vibration tools -plants / patterns in Nature – with a strong, stable resonant frequency, and use those tools to transmute the inharmonic energy into a beneficial form. In other words, we can purposefully introduce outside vibrational energies to positively influence, through the power of resonance, our natural signature, or vibrational pattern. Introduce how the natural world, with its vast and wondrous array of forms and energies, offers us a treasure trove of vibrational tools that we can use as antidotes for negative energetic patterns and supports for the cultivation of positive qualities. How the vibration of each, plant, mineral, and archetypes from Nature, can be understood as an energy pattern with a specific and unique structure, or signature, that create specific repeatable outcomes. How when these energetic signatures resonate with our natural vibrational patters, we can use them to precisely fine-tune our own energetic bodies and produce specific ways of being.

I will consider my work a success if I make the above so common place, that a first reaction is to reach for the plant / essential oil / whole-food that helps one achieve their goal or shift an unhealthy behavior—bringing the understanding we are never alone and Nature offers a solution for every subtle state of being!

Candice, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My first loves are plants, the natural world, alchemy, and writing. I have authored 3 books. Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice: Working with the Chakras, Divine Archetypes, and the Five Great Elements and Vibrational Nutrition: Understanding the Energetic Signature of Foods. My third book is due to be released in Spring 2024 with Healing Arts Press, working title, Working with Floral Absolutes & Other Tantalizing Tidbits: Learning from Nature as a Storyteller.

As my titles reveal the core of my work is exploring how one can engage with nature / plant kingdom, in a holistic, archetypal, and alchemical way. I am fascinated with finding patterns (archetypes) in nature and delving into how they interact with humankind and how these pervasive energetic patterns create specific states of being—that when used in a mindful way—can be understood as subtle blue prints; creating repeatable patterns that create behaviors.

I like to start philosophically and work my way to the practical and mundane–I pull heavily from Eastern wisdom traditions due to the sheer volume and profundity of the information provided on subtle energy organization its relationship with matter—then simplify and simplify further.

One of my favorite questions asked today is, “what problems do you solve for your clients?” I like to take timeless wisdom and make that information, easy to digest and useful in day-to-day life. My favorite ways are the following:

1. My essential oil and flower essence company Divine Archetypes. I created to offer some of the more difficult to find products featured in my books / Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice / Working with Floral Absolutes; providing an alchemical and fragrant in-depth system to access and work with the whole of self.

2. I am so excited to announce that in conjunction with Lisa Morley we just launched Loop Spa & Wellness! The treatments are a beautiful combination of hands-on healing, massage, crystal layouts, therapeutic salts and muds, and my favorite medium: oils! We have imported nutrient rich base oils and essential oils from around the world to craft our signature treatments.

Our Soil to Soul Signature Treatments Include:

1. Pure Light Massage with Chilled White Marble. Norwegian Cloudberry Oil with Yuzu, Neroli, Gardenia and Sandalwood Essential Oils.

2. Summer Bliss Massage with Corn Meal Scrub. Tomato Seed Oil, with Sweet Basil and Lemon Essential Oils. `

3. Energy Detox Massage with Full Body Crystal Grid. Black Current Seed Oil, with White Sage, Common Sage, Palo Santo, Sweet Grass and Lemon Essential Oils.

4. I am so excited to be instructing the philosophy aspect of 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Loop Yoga and Wellness. Allowing me to do a deep-dive into some of my favorite topics!

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

To educate and make available plant-based healing that is alchemical in nature for those who crave an in-depth system for personal growth.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

This is very simple. There are always going to be trends and those will be fickle and change, over and over. To build a strong work / creative foundation – create from the heart – no matter what is ‘up’ at the moment.

Early on in my process (I started very young) I was overly swayed by others input on what I should be focusing on. Looking back my work during those periods felt flat to me.

My favorite feedback on my work is from MidWest Book Review, referring to my work as iconoclastic,. My ‘unlearning’ is not following to closely in someone else’s footsteps, always leave space for your own inner-knowing to bubble up!
