Earlier this week, the Southwest Newcomer Welcome Centre hosted their monthly women’s group, which featured henna tattooing. 

Malavika Rejimon, owner of Mehendi Soul in Swift Current, is the artist that taught the session at the centre’s downtown office. 

The night consisted of learning not only how to apply henna, but the rich history behind the art as well. 

Rebecca Anderson, a community connections worker with the Southwest Newcomer Welcome Centre, said that although not everyone who had initially signed up could make it, the night was a hit. 

“We had half a dozen people here and everyone completed some really nice designs,” she said.  

The group meets on the second Tuesday of every month and features a new activity each time for women in the area to connect and learn together. 

Anyone interested in joining is encouraged to reach out via the organization's Facebook page or website.
