Paint the Town (at Flying Free Arts)

Introduction: Henna is not only a great form of temporary body decoration, it's a source of healing, spirituality, and claiming or re-claiming your body. I bring my own energy to this process throughout; starting my mixing my own henna paste. I offer a selection of designs, but I most enjoy working with you to create a design for a specific occasion. I love when you tell me what you are working on emotionally or why an event is important, and I will make an intuitive design to honor your journey. To decorate your body is a form of cherishing it, nurturing it, and healing or celebrating your connection with yourself. I love being a part of that. I love the individual, personal nature of henna art - no two designs are ever the same! I love the female strength that henna is based on (although it's fine for men who want it, too!). I love the scent of henna as I mix the paste, and the scent as I create designs. I love seeing the joy people have in their finished henna.
