Karista
Wandering Spirit Henna
Hello fellow humans! I'm Karista, the owner and lead artist of Wandering Spirit Henna. Art has always coursed through my veins and lived in my bones. There isn't a time of my life that I can remember, that I wasn't doing art of some form. I've dabbled in all sorts of mediums over the years, but henna is unlike anything else that I have ever worked with. I apprenticed underneath a good friend of mine, Leah of Soulflower Henna. She had a very strong spiritual basis and worked with henna from a spiritual perspective, offering intuitive henna and manifestation services alongside her typical designs. She believed in the way that henna could be used to bring healing to others, in more ways than one. Through channeling energy, manifestations, or something even as simple as giving a design to someone that makes them feel more confident in their body. I stand firmly in that belief myself, and I've known my whole life that I was meant for MORE. I knew I was meant to bring healing, love and light to people of all kinds; I just didn't know what that meant or what that looked like. Through henna, I found my purpose. I am an artist, a healer, a lover, and I am a light to ALL. I offer henna services that range from basic designs, all the way up to deeply connected sessions where we talk and connect, and I channel whatever it is you might need in your life at that moment, into the henna design. Whether it be health, abundance, patience, rest, radiance, healing, etc. Each session is tailored to YOU and your emotional/energetic needs. I am here living this human experience, to be a vessel for pure light and love in every way I can. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you, and bringing you whatever it is you're looking for!

ERIC
MEDICINE MAN, AUTHOR, NATURE ENTHUSIAST
In 2015 Eric resigned from his job with the US federal government, and headed to the Amazon rainforest of Peru to drink Ayahuasca for the first time. He was searching for a cure to challenging food sensitivities, and was hoping to find something more to life than what conventional culture had offered.
He was so fascinated with what he discovered there that he decided to continue down this path. Since then he has immersed himself in the field of Sacred Plant Medicine while learning and gaining as much experience as possible. He has done this by returning to Peru regularly, to study natural methods of healing and awakening. Most importantly, Eric spent three winters as the caretaker of an isolated Ayahuasca healing center in the Atlantic rainforest of Brazil. In 2019 he published a book documenting his first winter on the property.
In addition to visiting South America, in 2017 Eric completed a psychedelic preparation and integration coaching program. He likes to stay up to date on this rapidly changing field by attending conferences, and listening to various podcasts that discuss the subject in depth.
Eric is passionate about practicing a healthy diet and lifestyle. He enjoys the challenge of applying the insights received during ceremony into a daily routine. He believes that healing first on an individual level is an essential step to awakening as a society, and ultimately to being responsible stewards of the planet. In other words, Sacred Plant Medicines represent our best chance of surviving and thriving as a species.
