They have been imagining and creating ever since they can recall and have devoted their formal learning to fiber arts, ceramics, printmaking, and “trauma-responsive” art therapy. Informally, Jess has studied herbalism and permaculture, ritual and ceremony, dance and movement, and dreamwork. After years of facilitating creative groups and community spaces in person, Jess is opening "The Sacred Third Creative Well-being" this fall to expand their offerings to a wider, virtual community.  Here is more info about the beautiful free community offerings Jess mentioned: https://www.jesskennard.com/   //If you enjoy listening and would like some support for your practice please consider joining my Patreon.
