A Medicine Dollmaker's Winter Journey
My Legacy Story
A Five Week Interactive Course to Reframe Your Story and Create Your Legacy through Art, Spirit, and Introspection
Your legacy is more than what has happened to you—it’s the story you choose to reclaim, reframe, and share. It honors your past, celebrates your resilience, and becomes a powerful testament to the truth of who you are. By shaping your legacy, you affirm that your story matters and that your voice will echo with meaning and purpose for generations to come.
This is far more than a super fun course to learn how to needle felt a Medicine Doll.
It’s a transformative journey into the depths of the story you want to be known for.
Join this immersive 5-week, winter online course to craft your own
Medicine Spirit Doll.
Walk your sacred journey of introspection and transformation

What This Journey is About
Step into a sacred journey of creativity, introspection, and transformation with
My Legacy Story: A Winter Dollmaker’s Journey.
This course is inspired by the ancient wisdom of the Sacred Medicine Wheel of Life,
offering guidance through our continuing cycles of growth, introspection, and renewal.
- In this journey, you’ll begin in the West, the direction of reflection and deep inner work, where Mother Bear offers her nurturing presence as a guide. Here, you’ll enter the metaphorical Cave of Winter—a sacred space for introspection, dreaming, and preparing for transformation.
- As the course unfolds, you’ll walk toward the North, the direction of clarity, wisdom, and spiritual connection. This is where your work culminates in an offering—a completed Medicine Doll and Legacy Story—shared with gratitude and released as a sacred gift to the universe, whether privately or with others, if you choose.
This sacred commitment to Self isn’t just about crafting—it’s about embracing your unique story, reframing it with intention, and stepping into a legacy of personal growth and empowerment.

Here's How the Journey Unfolds
1. Sitting with Mother Bear in the West
The West represents the season of autumn and the energy of introspection. It’s a time to pause, reflect, and delve into the deeper truths of your life story. With Mother Bear as your guide, you’ll:
- Create a sacred space for exploring your personal narrative, acknowledging both its light and shadow.
- Begin journaling and reflecting on the parts of your story that you’re ready to reshape into a legacy of empowerment.
- Prepare for transformation by connecting to your inner wisdom and creativity.
2. Crafting Your Legacy Story
Through guided journaling, teachings, and the dollmaking process, you’ll bring your reflections to life:
- Create a Medicine Doll imbued with intention and meaning, representing the essence of your Legacy Story.
- Use prompts and live discussions to discover and shape the story you wish to tell, reframing past experiences into a narrative of growth and purpose.
- Choose how to share your journey: Share your story and insights with others in sacred talking circles or within the Substack Legacy Wall community—or keep it entirely personal. The choice is yours, with full respect for your privacy.
3. Walking Toward the Northgate
The North represents the season of winter—a time of completion, clarity, and release. As your journey concludes, you’ll:
- Bring your story and Medicine Doll to completion, celebrating the transformation you’ve experienced.
- Release your Legacy Story with gratitude, offering it as a sacred gift to yourself, your community, and the universe in whatever way feels right for you.
- Honor the wisdom you’ve gained, carrying it forward into the next chapter of your life.

Perhaps you've found yourself saying...
"I'm not very artistic"
It's a common misconception that art is reserved for the "artistically inclined."
Yet, the truth is, the most beautiful Medicine Dolls often emerge
from a space beyond artistic labels.
My SoulCraft Art© process invites you to move beyond the chatter of the mind and into the realm of instinct, intuition, and a profound conversation with your Inner Wise One.
So what if...
- Your perceived lack of artistic skill becomes an advantage? The Medicine Dollmaking journey is not about perfect shape and design; it's about authentic self-expression that flows from a deeper, more instinctual place. Not all Medicine Doll’s are ‘pretty’. They are meant to express what is authentically coming through as a soulful expression, and that is what makes each doll energetically beautiful and magical.
- Silence the mind chatter and tap into your innate creativity. Creating a Medicine Doll is an intuitive process, guiding you to quiet down and trust your inner wisdom rather than getting caught up in perceived artistic limitations.
Making a Medicine Doll reveals a magical connection...
The process of creating a Medicine Spirit Doll inspires and instills a vision
for change, evoking a strong desire to tell one's story...
Even in moments when it may not feel safe to speak it yet.
More than a crafted figure, she draws out untold stories, echoing from the well of our deepest joy, truth and pain.
As a trusted companion and witness, she encourages perseverance, empowering women to stand tall within their journey of reclamation, finding strength through creative expression and manifesting dreams.
Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Jerri Lynn Shelton, an Earth Medicine Practitioner, fiber artist, and the creator of the Dollmaker’s Journey series. Inspired by the teachings of the sacred Medicine Wheel of Life, my work is a reflection of the deep connection between creativity, spirituality, and transformation. I’ve dedicated my life to helping women reconnect with their inner truths, honor their journeys, and craft meaningful legacies through intentional, soul-centered art.
As a fiber artist, I’m passionate about working with natural materials and infusing every creation with symbolism, energy, and intention. My teachings are rooted in traditional earth medicine principles and the cycles of the Medicine Wheel, guiding women through processes of reflection, healing, and rebirth.
This course is especially close to my heart because I’ve walked this path myself. I know the power of sitting with your story, embracing its light and shadow, and transforming it into something beautiful and empowering. As your guide, I’ll be here to support you every step of the way with live sessions, thoughtful prompts, and a safe, nurturing space to create, share, and grow.
Together, we’ll walk this sacred journey, and I’ll help you craft not only a Medicine Doll but also a story that honors your past and celebrates your legacy. I can’t wait to witness your transformation and the beauty of what you’ll create.
Check out what's inside:
LESSON ONE
Planting the Seeds:
Begin your needle felting journey with intention setting and symbolism through the initial felting of a Cosmic Dream Egg—a soul crafting process to activate the energy of change, channeled seamlessly into the next step of creating your Medicine Spirit Doll.
LESSON TWO
The Medicine Bundle: Weave your intention into the fabric of the Universe. You'll craft a sacred bundle, nestled deep within the womb of your Medicine Spirit Doll, to offer a prayer for manifestation.
LESSON THREE
Three Weeks of Self-Paced Instruction: Engage in five weekly self-paced sessions with step-by-step video tutorials, allowing ample time to immerse yourself in the creative process at your own rhythm. Slowing down invites a deeper connection to your inner voice, revealing what is needed at this transformative moment.
LESSON FOUR
Meet Your Spirit Doll: Where the finishing design and adornment of your Medicine Doll reveals who she is through your personal expression and intuitive storytelling.
