Our Mindful Henna Wellbeing Workshops are a nurturing space for women to slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and explore mindfulness through the meditative art of henna. In a world that often pulls us in many directions, these workshops invite participants to step away from the noise, ground themselves in the present moment, and engage in a creative, calming practice rooted in centuries of tradition and healing.
Through the gentle, flowing strokes of henna application — whether drawing on paper or skin. women are guided to focus on their breath, tune into the sensations within their bodies, and observe their thoughts without judgment. This process encourages deep self-awareness, allowing participants to notice where their energy feels blocked, tense, or free-flowing. As they create intricate patterns, they begin to embody a sense of stillness and self-compassion, fostering emotional release and inner balance.
Each workshop combines mindfulness techniques with the therapeutic nature of henna art, promoting relaxation, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of self. It’s a space to honour the body, express creativity, and build confidence, leaving women feeling empowered, rejuvenated, and more connected to their authentic selves.
Thank you to Arts Council Wales for their support in exploring henna as a natural pigment for painting.
