Praise for Jen’s work….

“Jen’s diverse life experiences, academic and research grounding, along with her experience as an embodiment coach gives her work an authenticity, depth, breadth and flexibility that is rare. As a visual artist with decades of experience, my immersion in working with Jen was life-enhancing and empowering. It opened portals to clarity, commitment and a renewed passion for my vocation as an artist. I was able to explore the question of leadership as an artist in the contemporary world with provocative curiosity. This course held space as I challenged so many of the murky, patriarchal and destructive paradigms rampant in the "art world". Developing an awareness of the crucial importance of embodiment practice woven into studio art practice is a gift of grounding for my work as an artist. It carries a sense of sovereignty that can not be fragmented, dismissed or compromised. This, for me, was the insight to the power of intuitive courage.”

“Deciding to work with Jen was one of the best choices I ever made. I’m not saying that lightly. In the past two years of our work together, I have revolutionised my relationship to myself and to the divine… To say that I was reborn through the portal of this work is insufficient. I am being reborn every day, every moment if I desire. I see life now in cycles, in spirals. Since embracing this process of continual change, my life has become infinitely more easeful. Living my life from this place of deep trust has resulted in me magnetising the success that was always available to me. My life continues to unfold in the most beautiful and mysterious of ways.”

Praise for Aoife’s work…

”Aoife Dé Dannan is a fíor bean feasa na h-Éireann. She holds the wisdom of many grandmothers in her young being. An elder before her time, she embodies the strength of an Dúir naofa (sacred oak) and the gentleness of an Fia bán (white deer). Authenticity shines through her being. Aoife is the guide our time now urgently needs. She is leading the remembering, retrieving, and recovering of the healing energies of Mother Earth, of the lost wisdom practices of our ancestors – their deep knowing of the sacred plant medicines, their natural connection to an talamh naofa and to the Otherworld, their sacred celebration of the seasons and high holy days, and the especial importance of holding ceremonial fires in the sacred places of Éire.”

-Aodhammair/Ireland

‘‘A most powerful experience to be at this retreat, the room we had for spontaneity, the beautiful food, the many stories shared, the music and dance, the water we drank, the land we were on, the people it summoned, the berries and herbs, the experiential learning of making medicine, of being embraced by Liath Lus in so many ways, the fire, the dreams, the listening, the sharing of dreams and sounds, the vulnerability, the movement each morning, the releasing and realizations every moment provided. The space to feel a part of nature, the camaraderie and care. With Love and gratitude, would do this again and again.’’
