They believe these connect the humans who carry them to the spirit of the animals they represent. After an introductory discussion and brief demonstration, participants sculpt their own spirit animals which they can paint when dry and decorate with a "bundle" using small shells, feathers beads, etc.  In a closing circle, participants can share their animals and what they learned about them as they sculpted.
