Ukrainian Folk Healing Class

I have been teaching the Slavic Folk Healing Class over the past couple of months to some fabulous and keen students. So far, we have had a magical and mystical journey through this class, learn ancient healing wisdom. I just thought that I would share a few photos so far to show you a peek at what we have been doing. Enjoy!

In this photo, a modern Ukrainian Folk Healer dressed in traditional clothing. This apron is hand embroidered, took a year to finish working on it daily.
