"AMAZING WORKSHOPS in traditional crafts. We did the mask culture & painting workshop, with a practicing spirit healing worker. Who explained and performed traditional medicine and drumming and singing and guided us through making our own masks. We will be back for the cane weaving, batik, and drumming workshops" - Michele Smith
