What is the Spirit Weavers Circle?
The Spirit Weavers Circle is a sacred, ongoing gathering space for women who want to walk through life with intention, creativity, and connection.
It’s a living container where we move through the seasons together, guided by the teachings of the Medicine Wheel and supported by ritual, soulcraft, and shared storytelling.
Right now, we begin in the Eastgate — Spring’s sacred beginning.
This is where you enter the circle.
Your first experience is The Dawn of the East, a complete seasonal journey into new beginnings, soul remembrance, and sacred expression. Inside, you’ll be gently guided through:
Creating your own Medicine Spirit Doll, a symbolic, soul-aligned reflection of your journey
Guided inner practices to reconnect with your truth, your story, and your voice
A rhythm of live Talking Circles where we gather, reflect, and hold space together
The Spirit Weavers Circle meets you where you are.
You can move through the teachings at your own pace, in your own time, without pressure or deadlines.
And still, you are never alone.
We walk it together, held in the shared rhythm of the seasons, the stories, and the sacred spiral path.
This is a space of deep listening, creative devotion, and belonging.
Here, your story is not only welcome — it’s essential.
What is the Medicine Wheel?
The Medicine Wheel is an ancient, earth-honoring, soul map of life.
It’s a sacred framework that reflects the natural cycles of creation, transformation, and renewal — in the world around us and within our own lives.
Each direction on the Wheel holds a specific energy, element, and teaching that speaks to different stages of your personal growth.
It invites you to tend your inner world in rhythm with the Earth’s seasons, helping you walk through life with greater clarity, intention, and self-trust.
This is not a linear path.
It’s a spiral — alive, evolving, and deeply personal.
Inside this journey, you’ll be invited to:
Begin in the East, the place of Air and Spring
The rising sun, fresh starts, new vision, and planting sacred intentions
Move into the South, the place of Fire and Summer
Growth, expansion, vitality, relationships, play, and full creative expression
Turn to the West, the place of Water and Autumn
Inner reflection, emotional healing, honoring what’s ready to be released
Arrive in the North, the place of Earth and Winter
Ancestral wisdom, deep integration, rest, and soul guidance
Each direction is more than a season — it's a doorway.
A mirror.
A chance to meet yourself more fully.
The Medicine Wheel helps you remember where you are, who you are,
and what your next right step might be.
You’ll carry this living map with you long after the teachings end.
It becomes a way of life.
Awake and Intentional.
This is For Women Who Feel the Call
To create and honor your own Medicine Spirit Doll
as a soul archetype born from your sacred becoming.
She is a reflection of what rises from the inner landscape of your journey.
To tend and reframe your soul story with compassion and truth,
As you walk the spiral path of your own becoming
What's inside the Circle:
Step-by-step video tutorials that are easy to follow and beginner-friendly.
Guided reflections, inner exploration prompts, and embodiment practices
A space to reconnect to your own mythic truth and creative power
Access to vibrant, engaged Talking Circles and the ongoing community
All future seasonal courses as they are released at no extra cost to you
Talking Circles
This is the beating heart of the Spirit Weavers Circle.
More than just calls or check-ins, these are sacred, living gatherings where we come together in presence, witness, and remembrance.
Each season, you’ll be invited into a rhythm of live Talking Circles - real-time sessions held in alignment with the teachings of the current direction on the Medicine Wheel.
In our Spring journey through the Eastgate, we gather weekly to deepen into the energy of new beginnings, share our experiences, and reflect together in sisterhood.
All sessions are recorded and available for replay if you can’t join live.
And the circle doesn’t stop when the course content pauses.
Between seasons, we continue gathering twice a month, so the thread of connection remains unbroken.
We reflect.
We hold space.
We remember we’re not doing this alone.
Whether you speak or simply listen, every woman is welcome just as she is.
No performance. No pressure.
Just sacred space to be real and present in your own unfolding.
These aren’t Q&A sessions.
They’re modern-day rituals - a return to shared story, soulful reflection, and community care.
This is where transformation deepens.
This is where the sacred becomes personal.
This is where we keep the spiral alive - together.
“I’ve taken this journey three times now, and each time,
I return for the Talking Circles.
There’s just nothing else like them.
The connection, the stories, the feeling of being truly seen and held,
it’s a kind of soul nourishment I didn’t know I needed.
I live alone, and yet this space has given me a circle of sisters.
Familiar faces, kind words, and real presence.
It’s become a lifeline of friendship and belonging in a world that so often feels disconnected.
This isn’t just a course. It’s a sanctuary.”
— Margaret L.
Walking the Eastgate
A journey of new beginnings, inner vision, and sacred becoming
The East is the place of the rising sun, of breath and awakening.
It is the direction of Spring, of clarity, inspiration, and the soul’s first whisper:
I’m ready.
In the Dawn of the East journey, you’ll be gently guided into this sacred season of Self
through creative ritual, reflection, and the embodied art of Medicine Dollmaking.
This is where your journey on the Medicine Wheel of Life begins.
You'll Explore:
The archetypes of the East: the Seed, the Dreamer, the Maiden
The spiritual themes of this season: courage, truth, vision, and emotional renewal
How to work with symbols, color, and intuitive shaping as a language of soul
Gentle embodiment practices and soul prompts to deepen the connection
How to listen to what wants to be born in you now
You’ll create your own Eastgate Medicine Spirit Doll as a physical expression of your healing, your hope, and your emerging self.
This is a space to plant seeds of intention, to claim your right to begin again, and to reconnect with the part of you that still believes in beauty, magic, and becoming.
No prior felting experience is needed. Just your presence, your hands, and your willingness to remember.
Meet Your Guide, Jerri Shelton
Sacred Spirit Weavers SoulCraft Art©
The teachings I offer here have been passed to me with permission, through years of study and inner work with my Earth Medicine teacher, Jackie.
She walked with me not just as a teacher of the Wheel, but as a woman who helped me reclaim my voice, my truth, and my place.
I share this path not as an Indigenous teacher, but as a white woman walking it with deep relationship, respect, and reverence. This Wheel has held me through trauma, grief, joy, and sovereignty. It still teaches me. I don’t claim mastery. I offer what I’ve lived, what I’ve integrated, and what I’ve healed enough to hold space for.
As an intuitive artist and space holder for women navigating life’s turning points, I’ve come to understand that creativity isn’t just a pastime. It’s a portal.
When we create with intention, we align with something greater—an energetic current that carries our dreams into form. This is where imagination, emotion, and energy converge into something sacred.
At Sacred Spirit Weavers, we honor that process.
We celebrate presence over perfection and know that every act of soulful making
can become a living ceremony. Inside the Spirit Weavers Circle,
we walk the Medicine Wheel as a sacred path of remembering.
Each direction opens a new season of reflection, ritual, and reclamation.
We begin here at the Eastgate.
Your dreams, your resilience, and your desire for self-healing are welcome here.
They’re honored. This is a space for transformation through presence and creativity,
held in love and respect.
From my heart to yours,
I see you.
You'll find that this craft provides a sense of deep relaxation, grounding and rewarding insight.
It's also easy to set aside as needed and pick right back up when you have those precious moments to yourself.

Testimonials from our Dollmaker's Journey Weavers
This course is so wonderful. Jerri is a natural teacher and a beautiful human being. My doll came through easily based on what my heart and soul were calling for. I’m so happy with the outcome and for the joy my Medicine Doll will continue to bring to me.
Shauna C.
This was a journey into my own heart and soul. Jerri’s guidance helped me feel deeply connected, not only to my creative self but to something much bigger. I felt a profound shift in my energy as I moved from grief and overwhelm into a space of healing, empowerment, and renewal. The process was grounding, beautiful, and exactly what I needed to reconnect with myself in a way I never expected. If you feel called to this journey, trust that it will meet you exactly where you are and lead you to where you need to be.
Sarah M.
If you have ever thought about making a Medicine Doll, this course is it! You will be amazed at the beautiful creation that comes from your soul
Love, love, love this experience!
Lori D.
I didn't know how much I needed this! From the moment I started working on my Medicine Doll, I felt an incredible sense of calm and clarity. The act of self connection, clear intention, felting, shaping, and bringing my doll to life became a mirror for my own inner transformation. Jerri has a way of holding space that allows for deep reflection and healing. I was able to process emotions I had been carrying for so long. By the end of the course, I felt lighter, more centered, and truly at peace. This journey is a gift to myself, and I cannot recommend it enough

No. Needle felting is easy to learn, very relaxing, and meditative. The special felting needles are very sharp and delicate, so I recommend supervision if younger children want to learn how to needle felt with you.
