“My doll, which I named after my guardian angel, shows my inner girl wanting to burst out and be seen. I believe that my inner self is waiting to be discovered.” |

“Marlena, your easy flowing style and the power of your loving presence facilitated a re-ignition of my passion. Thank you for the awesome experience of creating my personal spirit doll.” |

“I am looking at my beautiful doll with the pearls of wisdom, the book of knowingness, the abundance of gold surrounding her and the sparkling beauty. I commune daily. My doll sits just to the right of me on my desk. She is beautiful, she holds much wisdom and I gaze at her often. Loved that process! ”

“I
liked
the
whole
ambiance,
free
feeling,
good
emotional
support.
This
cemented
my
decision
to
make
the
change
I
wanted
to
make.” |

“This
was
really
fun!
I
loved
the
creative
energy
and
the
materials
supplied…they
opened
the
floodgates
of
creativity.
Through
all
of
this
wonderful
spirit
my
little
‘Denali’
was
born.
She
set
my
soul
free
and
my
inner
pain
disappeared.” |

“This
was
a
delightful
and
meaningful
way
to
inspire
my
creativity,
quiet
my
intellectual
critic,
and
affirm
my
appreciation
of
other
women.
I
truly
appreciate
this
opportunity
for
fun
and
introspection.
I
was
happy
to
find
myself
in
touch
with
my
playful
side
as
well
as
my
spiritual
and
serious
sides.
Thank
you!” |

“Thank
you
for
giving
women
the
opportunity
to
release
the
past
and
create
their
future.
Creativity
like
we
experienced
today
is
healing
and
affirms
what
we
are
working
toward
changing.
My
Spirit
Doll
gave
me
a
vision
of
who
I
am
becoming.
My
spirit
lives
on
with
a
sense
of
freedom
and
awe
for
the
future
of
the
world.” |

“This
workshop
was
energizing,
validating,
and
meaningful.
The
shared
ideas
and
experience
of
working
independently
but
also
as
part
of
a
group
was
enlightening.
The
new
ideas,
skills
and
inspiration
are
of
lasting
value
for
me.” |
|
|
|
“I
liked
the
richness
of
materials—such
abundance!
And
the
other
women,
the
opportunity
to
do
this
work
and
space
and
time
to
share.
Thank
you!
It
was
wonderful—creativity-releasing-joy
and
sorrow,
too.” |

“Thank
you.
I
fully
enjoyed
this
workshop.
I
feel
inspired
and
I
have
a
special
friend
[in
my
doll]
that
will
continue
to
help
my
personal
reflection
and
growth.” |

“What
a
great
workshop.
I
never
played
with
dolls
and
don’t
think
of
myself
as
a
creative
person,
yet
my
“spirit
doll”
still
reflects
the
intention
I
started
out
with.
It
was
fun
and
amazing
to
watch
her
take
her
own
shape.” |
|
|
|
“This
must
be
what
artists
call
creative
expression.
My
spirit
doll
became
the
expression
of
something
that
I
didn’t
even
know
was
inside
me.
The
process
was
definitely
an
amazing
evolution
of
discovery.
I
LOVE
HER!!” |

“Because
I'm
so
busy
operating
my
own
business,
it
was
a
treat
to
set
aside
5
hrs.
just
for
me.
My
wild
red-haired
doll
was
more
than
willing
to
come
home
with
me
and
has
taken
a
place
of
honour
in
my
bedroom,
where
I'll
wake
up
to
greet
her
every
morning.” |

“An
enjoyable
day
doll
making,
choosing
from
a
wide
variety
of
materials.
It
was
fun
seeing
bits
of
this
and
that
which
I
wanted
for
my
spirit
doll.
I
really
liked
“making
decisions
in
the
moment”.” |
