Henna Adornment

Henna is a magical plant that, when ground into a paste and applied to the skin, binds to the keratin and leaves behind a reddish brown stain. Receiving Henna from a well practiced artist is a rite of passage and an intimate bonding experience. Some would call it sacred. Nam Joti will be available by appointment for Henna adornment on the back of the hand or other area of the body outside of class time. This is an opportunity to slow down and allow yourself to be honored.

Henna needs to sit on the skin to dry for about 30 minutes after being applied. Once dry, the longer you leave the paste in contact with the skin, the longer the stain will last. Nam Joti uses Rajani Henna from Rajastan, India, which stains the skin a dark brownish red for about a week after application.

This can be booked in 30 minute sessions outside of class time Thursday, Friday, or Saturday afternoon. You can book in advance with Nam via email bluecypressschoolofholism@gmail.com, on her website at BlueCypressSchool.org, or on sign up sheets at camp.
