                                                                  Dollmaking can help you to heal at a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.  The essential process of healing yourself with artmaking is one involving creating  change so that you can become more conscious and restore your connection to   your intuition and your soul.  When you are physically ill, in pain, dealing with emotional  issues, or challenged by a life changing event, you can start to heal yourself with art by opening up to your inner voices, listening to them, and allowing their messages  to emerge.

                                                                  In the one year long online class, you will make four or more medicine dolls: a guardian,  a scapegoat, a talisman, loving kindness and an inner healer.  In a weekend retreat setting you will make 2 dolls: a scapegoat and talisman. Class involves keeping a journal as well as making the dolls. This work will take you through a creative process toward a goal of healing an aspect of yourself and/or your life. Your intention drives the process and keeps you focused. Your journal becomes the record keeper and provides a place for you to dialog with your creations.
