Learn how to make the Henna paste and apply it to the skin with instruction from women who practice this art as part of their cultural heritage. Participants will learn about life in the rural Atlas Mountain regions of Morocco, the Amazigh culture, and community development in the remote region of Zawiya Ahansal.
