$75-100 sliding scale
Arco Iris Center in Central Santa Fe
Lunch provided (local/organic soup and bread)

To begin this year of re-emergence we will use this first month of true winter to call upon our the wise women, both known and unknown to come to us and imbue wool needle felted dolls to be by our sides on the journey ahead.

The practice of doll making is as ancient as the wise women themselves and can be a tool for us to call upon our souls gifts as well as guidance and protection from the beyond. Wool needle felting is a simple art that requires some simple skills that can open the door to a wonderfully creative craft life.

Our class will begin with some story telling of spirit dolls through time and then a step by step journey int how to call and create your Wise Women Dolls.

All craft materials will be supplied along with a simple lunch of soup and bread and tea. Be prepared to be sitting in a comfortable yurt for the day and sharing the sweetness of community and creativity together.

This class will be coordinated and hosted by Erin O’Neill of Growing Home and taught by Megan Chandler, singer, storyteller, educator and magician and wise woman herself.

About the Teacher:

Meagan first learned to make dolls as part of youth rites of passage programs with Golden Bridge in her hometown of Boulder, CO, to help young people uncover their unique soul gifts. More recently she studied with Julia Inglis of Sacred Familiar to learn the art and craft of needle felted medicine dolls.

Meagan says: “Doll making is an ancient craft that has been part of many cultures all around the world and had allowed me to reconnect with a beautiful and potent ancestral practice. For me, these dolls have been good company through hard times, companionship for amazing adventures, gifts of support to beloved friends, and offerings to feed and heal the wild and holy world.”
