As of July 1, I have completed my six-month sabbatical, which began on January 1, 2024. During the months of July and August, I have been preparing to teach my “How to Make Your Own Healing Dolls” classes. This preparation is intentional. I have observed that students who enroll in the yearlong Healing Doll Way process without prior knowledge, practice, and skills in crafting art dolls often become frustrated and fail to complete their dolls. Additionally, if they are unfamiliar with the specialized language of healing dolls used in the class, they face challenges and obstacles. Therefore, the How to Make Your Own Healing Dolls class is designed to equip newcomers with the necessary skills and understanding.

How to Make Own Healing Dolls class starts Sunday, September 1st.

In the Healing Doll Way process, each art and healing doll embodies a unique energy, guiding the maker through a journey of self-discovery, awareness and transformation. As each doll takes shape, it becomes a container of the maker’s energy and a talisman symbolizing a healing intention. The process evolves, intensifies, and unfolds in various ways as the maker continues creating dolls throughout their journey.
 
I plan to offer The Healing Doll Way process in 2025. If you are interested, I recommend taking the How to Make Your Own Healing Dolls class first. You must have a copy of my book, The Healing Doll Way, which you should read and engage with by completing some, if not all, of the Creative Actions. If you don't have a copy you can purchase from me.
 
To be added to the waiting list for the 2025 Healing Doll Way, please email me at [email protected]. If you have previously expressed interest and sent your Pre-class Interview form, please email me again to confirm your continued interest.

Something I learned about myself:

I can unfreeze the creative part of myself even when there are few signs of life (thank you, thank you, thank you!), but also that it is critical to acknowledge the importance of creativity and the creative healing potential in my life and to learn how to honor that part of me, which is such a big part of me.

I would like to say that this was a wonderful experience. The people involved were so open to sharing. It was great to not feel all alone in the world, even though many experiences were different from mine. The connection, I think, may have been greater for those who knew each other prior to this, but nonetheless a connection was made for me as well. Barb was a great moderator and supporter throughout the process, and I for one am very glad she did this project.

The part I like best: Making the dolls and reading other's posts. Well, to be truthful, I liked the whole project. It had a flow, a certain order, that one can't BE without the other. Like life.
