Engage Jess
‘We’re in a time when when we’re asked to come out of our silos and be informed by other modes of inquiry. We are strengthened by cross-pollination, by entering new conversations, by sharing skills.’
Work with me
I support organisations, diverse communities and leaders to be more resilient and resourced to make a sustained impact in the world.
Stress and agitation limit our capacity to think creatively and effectively.
If you or your organisation are facing a transition, navigating uncertainty, or looking to meet challenges without burning out, I’m available to work with you.
Merging ancient teachings with contemporary poetics and decades of my own experience teaching and practicing, I offer pathways to move beyond habitual responses and stagnant thinking towards fresh and creative responses.
Refresh vision, energise engagement, whilst keeping your feet on the ground.
Talks, workshops, meditations are tailored to your specific needs and aims across wellbeing, sports, education, art sectors and more…
Guest speaker engagements include the Emerging Women Festival in New York City, The University of Melbourne’s Contemplative Studies Centre, and the Nayri Niara festival in Tasmania, and more.
