On today’s podcast I’ll be talking to a new Lucky Star instructor Nam Joti Kaur Khalsa.  Nam is a self-taught professional Henna artist and has been practicing the art of Henna adornment for herself and others for over twenty years. She also teaches about the history of Henna’s uses throughout time and place.  Nam finds inspiration for her art through the natural world, ancient textiles and folk art. She has taught the course that she developed: “The Mystery & Art Of Henna” in person, virtually and at the “Good Medicine Confluence” in Durango, Colorado.  Nam is a mother, wife, teacher of Yoga and meditation, practicing herbalist, gardener and maker of brooms and heirloom dolls. She lives on a homestead in the Texas Hill Country where she and her family raise goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and pigs.  Find her on Instagram: @bluecypressbotanicals Lucky Star Classes: The Mystery and Art of Henna Lucky Star "Extra" offered: Henna Adornment *********************************************************************************** Lucky Star is a women’s art and whole living sleepaway camp that takes place each fall in the Texas hill country. This is no art retreat in a hotel conference room…and no, we’re not camping in tents… we’re actually “glamping” in climate controlled cabins that are built into the hillside overlooking the Guadalupe River, and we’re eating gourmet, chef-prepared food in a dining hall like we’re at Hogwarts!  We’re fully immersed in creative workshops like jewelry making, astrology, mixed media collage, apothecary, abstract painting, writing, sewing, yoga, welding, pottery, and we’ve even had classes on raising alpacas and tomahawk throwing!  No dishes, no laundry, no driving kids, and no deadlines or demanding bosses.  Just a solid five days to be YOU because we believe in the importance of discovering/reigniting the authentic part of you that makes you feel ALIVE and we know that CREATIVITY can be a powerful catalyst for growth, healing, self-care, connection, and just the spark you need to thrive.  When we’re not at camp learning, laughing, making, and singing by the campfire, we’re a thriving creative community of supportive women known as the Lucky Star Galaxy and we’d love for you to join us!   For dates and more information about our upcoming camps, visit our website at www.luckystarartcamp.com.
