Traditions of Mothers and Daughters differs from History in that:

"Traditions" focuses on the origins of the belief systems that are the
cultural context of henna; the function of the behaviors of henna
practises as a response to ecological stressors, biological stressors,
social stressors and women's inherent challenges such as menarche,
pregnancy, miscarriage, marriage ... like that. So: the social aspects
of henna through a woman's life, across the different countries ...
the "why" do henna.

"History" focuses on the progression of henna from its origins through
time, countries, into and out of religions .... some traditions here,
but mostly the political, economic, religious and historical forces
that moved henna from one area to another, how these contributed to
development, flourishing or neglect of the art.

Those are "biggie" classes that take me several hours to get through
properly, and I can't do more than one a day.

"little" classes ... demonstrations of mixing and technique, I can
knock out in an hour ... but perhaps someone else can handle them ...
or perhaps that could be a group seminar. I just plain can't lecture
more than about 4 hours in a day or I'm too pooped to party!
