Embrace Your Crone Power
Are you ready to Claim Your Crone Power through the Sacred Art of Medicine Doll Making?
Embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and say YES to the call to stand in your well earned wisdom.
"The Crone, The Hag, The Witch" workshop is a sacred gathering designed exclusively for women like you—strong, vibrant, and ready to claim your authentic self.
Dear Crone Sisters,
You are invited to join me, Jerri Lynn Shelton, for a transformative one-day workshop that will awaken the power of your inner Crone and guide you in the creation of your own Medicine Spirit Doll—a tangible reflection of your authentic self and the wise woman you are meant to become. Together, we will embark on a sacred journey of self-discovery, healing, and sisterhood as we gather with a small, intimate group of fellow wise women.
Who is the Crone?
The Crone is the embodiment of wisdom, the culmination of a life's journey rich with experiences and lessons. We recognize and honor her in the name of Crone, Hag, Witch, and the Wise Old One. She is the fierce guardian of ancient knowledge, the keeper of deep intuition, and the wellspring of feminine power. The Crone represents the stage of life where we embrace the fullness of our being and step into our authentic selves. She is the matriarch, the elder, the wise guide who offers her wisdom to those who seek transformation and growth.
Identifying Yourself as the Crone
Are you a woman who has traversed the landscapes of life, gathering the wisdom of experience along the way? Do you feel a calling to step into the fullness of your power and embrace your unique journey as a source of inspiration? If so, you are ready to embrace the identity of the Crone and honor the wealth of wisdom that resides within you.
This workshop is an invitation to recognize and celebrate the sacredness of this stage of life and all that it encompasses.
Benefits of Creating Your Own Spirit Doll
Through the process of crafting your Medicine Spirit Doll, you will embark on a profound personal journey, accessing the transformative power of intentional creativity and sacred art. As you shape and adorn your doll, you will:
1. Express Your Authentic Self: Your Medicine Spirit Doll will become a reflection of your true self, capturing the essence of who you are or wish to become as the Crone. By crafting a doll that represents your unique story, you will reclaim your voice and honor your journey.
2. Deepen Self-Reflection: Engaging in the creation of your doll invites a deep exploration of self. As you craft each detail, you will connect with your innermost desires, dreams, and aspirations. This process of self-reflection will provide clarity and insight into the next steps of your personal growth.
3. Heal and Transform: Needle felting natural wool fibers into your doll becomes a powerful healing practice. The energy and intention you infuse into each poke of the needle will aid in releasing old patterns, wounds, and limiting beliefs. Your doll will become a vessel for transformation and a source of healing energy.
4. Embrace Sisterhood and Connection: This workshop offers a sacred space for sisterhood, where Crone Sisters can come together, share their stories, and support each other on their individual journeys. The bonds formed within the circle will be cherished and nurtured, creating a network of support and love.

What is Needle Felting with Wool?
Needle felting with wool is a versatile and creative art form that involves sculpting and shaping wool fibers using a special barbed needle. This technique allows you to transform loose wool fibers into three-dimensional objects with remarkable detail and texture.
During the needle felting process, the barbed needles are repeatedly pierced into the wool, causing the fibers to interlock and compact. With each gentle poke of the needle, the wool becomes more cohesive, allowing you to mold and shape it according to your creative vision.
As you work with the wool fibers, you have the freedom to create various forms, from intricate shapes to beautiful textures and embellishments. The felting needle acts as your sculpting tool, enabling you to add detail, refine shapes, and bring your creations to life.
Needle felting with wool is a tactile and meditative practice that offers a unique way to engage with your creativity and inner awareness. It provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in the process, channeling your intentions and emotions into each delicate poke of the needle.
In our Medicine Doll Making workshop, needle felting with wool will be the technique we employ to craft your unique Medicine Spirit Doll. You will learn how to use the felting needle to shape and sculpt the doll's form, infusing it with your intentions and personal symbolism. Through this hands-on process, you will witness the transformation of wool fibers into a powerful and tangible representation of your inner Crone.
No prior experience in needle felting is necessary to participate in the workshop. You will be guided through the techniques, providing step-by-step instruction and individualized support. You'll be amazed at how this simple, yet profound art form allows you to create meaningful and soulful pieces.
