Henna Rituals

“We need spiritual rituals in order to celebrate joy or salve trauma. They are a place of comfort, a recognisable signpost to mark significant life events. Well-performed rituals provide a sense of past and future. Of before and after. The ritual provides people with a sense of beginning or closure and will send them away knowing that their lives have been touched by a positive experience.

Ritual helps us to create a language that authentically articulates our experience of ourselves in the world, and acknowledges where we have come from and where we are going.”

–Chrissie Lloyd, Crystalline Celebrations

Henna Rituals are a distinct offering from the private appointments, parties, and festival bookings you may be used to seeing from henna artists.

When you book Hennamorphosis for a henna party or private appointment, you’re getting my 15 years of experience with henna, my personal artistry, my home-mixed organic henna, and my quick, careful application of henna in a 15- or 30-minute block, or for your guests during the two hours I’m at your event. 

But a Henna Ritual is different. Ritual is the universal human response to the Momentous. Rituals help us move from the Before to the After of pivotal events in our lives, knowing that we will be irrevocably changed on the other side. They bring us nourishment and protection. They help us heal. 

Conceived and conducted with compassion and intention, a ritual with Hennamorphosis creates a confidential emotional container intended to help you honor your moment, whatever you may be going through.

Each ritual takes place in a private space in Frederick, Maryland, curated especially for your experience. I’ll work with you to identify the lighting, scents, music, and images that suit your needs to shape a meaningful, structured ceremony.

With this offering, the ritual itself is the therapeutic experience, and the henna design is what you carry away to remind you of the experience.
