Join us for a four week journey into the world of henna! Learn to mix and apply henna to adorn yourself and your friends. We will cover mixology and application basics, learn basic henna motifs and regionally specific henna styles as well as how to embellish henna with body paints, glitter, gems and mica pigments. Each participant will receive a complimentary mini henna kit and information CD. The class will end with a “Night of the Henna” style "party" with a Bollywood Movie, Indian snacks, and henna, henna, henna!

Goodness Magazine
Download PDF article
Back in June 2009 Rovinghorse Henna was honored to provide henna for the cover of Goodness Magazine. The story that goes with the photograph on the cover is about one woman’s story of recovering from breast cancer, and how henna was a big part of her healing process. Our story is on page 14 of the online version of the magazine.

We are continuing on the journey of Linda Oleson, the woman in the article, and have hennaed her in observance of the beginning of her course of chemo, and also in observance of its ending. We hennaed for Goodness Magazine and we hennaed to prepare for reconstructive surgery. We will henna with Linda one final time in celebration of her whole journey with cancer when she has fully recovered from her reconstructive surgery.

Rovinghorse Henna is dedicated to helping cancer patients through their process by providing henna services at reduced rates. We also are working to promote a wider understanding of henna in the cancer treatment community and facilitating its use in individuals’ paths to healing.

We will post a final set of pictures of Linda soon, so check back!
