Join us for a beginner workshop on henna art design to learn about the history of henna as an ancient form of body art and the various cultural significance of its origin in South Asia, Middle East, North Africa and other regions. Traditionally, henna is used during spiritual, social, and religious occasions, like weddings, baby blessings, birthdays and graduations, etc. It remains as authentic ritual passed from rich and varied cultures.
