| Vatra Gitana presents Wilmington's Third Annual Breast Fest! |
| |
The women of Vatra Gitana continued the tradition of Breast Fest as a day of pampering and entertainment. It is a celebration for the grandmother, the mother, the daughter, and the sister, to indulge
in the sacred philosophy of our ancestors, women taking care of women.
It is a place to revitalize your bodies, minds, and spirits.

| |
 |
| |
| Taking cues from the Hindu Goddess Kali, who is called both the mother of creation and of destruction, we
decided to make her our symbol for this year's theme of "I Create". We hoped you joined us at the cafe to see what you could create through our
services and workshops. |

as well as some new and exciting ones. There were also door prizes and other give-a-ways.
