Embracing Deep Beauty

It was a pleasure and a privilege for me to offer a presentation at the 2006 Moebius Syndrome Conference about “Embracing Our Deep Beauty”. The first part dealt with nurturing an inner beauty experience daily and the second part demonstrated outer beauty enhancement and transformation with the help of Kryolan Cosmetics.

Kathleena facilitated a special workshop for women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction at a residential detox facility called Chrysalis in Oakland, CA. The purpose of the workshop was to help participants to explore and nurture a healthier, more loving relationship with their bodies and to foster more self esteem.

Conscious Beauty was part of the celebration for National Nursing Home Week by bringing a little nurturing, styling and outer beauty appreciation to some lovely ladies at the Villa Marin Retirement Home in Terra Linda, CA on Mothers day.

Teens for Safe Cosmetics strives “to inform teens about an all-encompassing eco-lifestyle, beginning with greener alternative choices in cosmetics and personal care products as many ingredients have links to cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm.” Watch the YouTube video where Kathleena talks about Jane Iredale cosmetics as part of a Teens for Safe Cosmetics event.

My friend Sonja, author of beauty blog The Coveted, invited me to do a workshop with Chinese teens on March 29th that incorporated self-care, beauty and makeup tips, as well as a photography session. Neutrogena was good enough to donate products. Watch the video here.

Continuing her involvement with Teens Turning Green, Kathleena volunteered at the Project Green Prom fashion show at The Village in Corte Madera in May 2009.
