In this immersive workshop, you’ll learn how to craft your own Felted Medicine Spirit Doll — a handmade guardian woven from wool, recycled cloth, and natural materials, infused with your unique energy and intention.
Guided by Tania Meacher — Ancestral Alchemist® and trauma-informed facilitator — you’ll move through a gentle ritual process of meditation, visualisation, and hands-on making. Each part of the workshop invites you to slow down, tune in, and connect with the quiet wisdom within.
You’ll be guided to meet the spirit of your doll through a meditative journey, exploring what she wishes to represent — perhaps protection, courage, healing, creativity, or dream weaving. Then, with intuitive crafting and natural fibres, you’ll bring that energy to life, creating a personal totem for your altar, home, or ritual space.
No previous felting or crafting experience is needed — just an open heart and a willingness to explore. All materials are provided, and you’ll be supported every step of the way.
By the end of this sacred session, you’ll take home a beautiful, handmade Spirit Medicine Doll — a tangible reflection of your own inner world, a companion for ceremony, and a symbol of your creative spirit.
Tania facilitates workshops at The Alchemist Retreat in Havant. Please note, she has a very friendly dog in residence.
Time: 10:00-16:30 approx
Tania is also available to travel up to 50 miles to host a bespoke ritual or group experience in your area. To discuss private bookings or receive a personalised quote, please reach out directly.
What you'll get
This beginner-friendly workshop blends gentle ritual with hands-on creativity in a relaxed, nurturing space. You’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of needle felting and crafting your own Spirit Medicine Doll, using soft wool, natural fibres, and sacred adornments to bring your creation to life.
Alongside the making process, Tania will lead a guided visualisation and oracle card reflection to help you connect with the spirit and intention of your doll — whether she represents protection, peace, creativity, or personal healing.
All materials are provided, including wool, felting tools, herbs, dried flowers, feathers, charms, crystals, and beads.

Tania Meacher is an Ancestral Alchemist® and trauma-informed guide who weaves ancient wisdom with embodied ritual practice. Her work unfolds through three sacred pathways — Reclamation, Sovereign, and Ritual — each one a living initiation into remembrance: of who you are beneath the stories, and what you came here to reclaim.
Through circle gatherings, seasonal rites, and hands-on workshops, Tania invites women and seekers to step into the wild magic of craft and ceremony. From besom and binding workshops to the crafting of medicine dolls, each experience is a threshold — a sacred act of reconnection with earth, ancestry, and the forgotten arts that once wove communities together.
Rooted in the alchemy of lineage, land, and lived experience, Tania’s ritual spaces are invitations to return home to your power, presence, and belonging.
She facilitates workshops at The Alchemist Retreat in Havant and is also available to travel up to 50 miles to create a bespoke ritual or crafting experience in your area.
