The Great Nurturer & Medicine Woman
For the woman who has tended everyone else. And is finally ready to tend herself.
A journey of self-discovery for the woman who is extraordinarily good at giving and has almost never practiced receiving. Through archetypal exploration, guided reflection, and the sacred art of needle felting, you'll meet The Great Nurturer, who knows how to create warmth and sanctuary, and The Medicine Woman, who knows how to heal through sacred presence. Together they carry you from depletion to replenishment, and guide you in making a Medicine Doll, a physical mirror of your own becoming.

Meet The Archetypes Within You
The Great Nurturer and Medicine Woman are not outside you. They are always within you. This course is an invitation to recognize them, understand their gifts and shadows, and hear what they are whispering to you right now in this exact season of your life.
Create Your Medicine Doll
Needle felting is the sacred creative language of this journey. As you move through the archetypal work, you will vision and create your own Medicine Doll, a physical mirror of what you are discovering about yourself. She is not a craft project. She is a reflection of your truth given form.
Bring Her To Life Step By Step
Through guided video tutorials you will build your Medicine Doll from the inside out. Shaping her body, choosing her colors, placing her adornments with intention. Every step is shown clearly and patiently so that your hands can do what your hands have always known how to do.
