Healing Dolls Workshop

Tap into history with one of the oldest creative 
expressions—doll making.  Celebrate your mother 
and Mother Earth by making your own.  That lonely 
earring that belonged to your grandmother, a bit of 
and any other meaningful items would help to honor 
the ones who sustain you.  

The techniques we will use originated on Africa’s 
Ivory Coast and were passed on to our instructor, 
Margaret McGuinness, M.Ed., ATR-BC, by artist Riua 
Akinshegun.  The doll-making process is both 
therapeutic and educational, used for thousands of 
years to teach cultural and spiritual beliefs.  Read 
more about Ms. Akinshegun here.
