Whether at book talks or workshops, my approach to speaking is unique. I extend enchanting invitations to co-create in the moment, encouraging us all to reclaim our innate wisdom and benefit from the magic of a group gathering. I blend music, the art of storytelling, innovative technology, and the wisdom of nature as a teacher, healer, and guardian of knowledge.

Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of speaking and performing at many events, and podcasts, including:

• United Nations Green Tent Conference

• Kindness Conference

• Rise Up Rooted

• International Coach Federation

• International Manufacturing Technology Conference

• Colby College

• St. Mary's College of Notre Dame

• Hospice of Southern Maine and more.

Common speaking engagements:

FOREST BATHING: Rekindling Our Connection with Mother Earth

From finding "sit spots" to making offerings, when we immerse ourselves in the rest of the natural world (we are nature too) we receive immense benefits, as scientific research now shows. Among them: Lowered stress cortisol, reduced heart rate, lowered triglycerides, boosted immune system, reduced risk of psychiatric disorders, improved attention, increased cognitive flexibility, increased empathy and cooperation, enhanced feelings of optimism, perspective and connection, enhanced creativity and resilience, and the feelings of awe and wonder. Imagine that! Perhaps because we once called our forest floor "home," our bodies innately remember what it feels like to return to connection, reverence, and reciprocity with nature.

UNLEASHING CREATIVITY: Tapping Into Our Unique Gifts -- Perhaps we avoid calling ourselves creative because when we think of creativity, we think of Mozart, Picasso, Einstein—people with a seemingly fated convergence of talent and opportunity. What if each of us is born carrying a bundle of gifts that are uniquely ours, and what if, over time, we are meant to develop, and be seen in, those gifts, offering them in times of need or joy?  Life is designed to be imaginative, sensuous and full of wonder. Instead, we arrive into a strange, industrialized world, where over and over again we experience diminishment, control, programming, something that takes us away from the unique and magical expression of who we truly are. Jennifer talks about four ways to nurture the "seeding and feeding" of our ideas, and thus, become captains of our own creative lives.

TRANSFORMERS: The Courage to Craft a New Identity -- No, not the animation films, although the theme of "being away from home" applies. To realize that society's definition for success--titles, money, minions and stuff -- may not fit at all, is the start of a journey of self-discovery. Many decide to transform their identity in mid-life, when the risks are less great (kids have moved away, a nest egg is built, etc.) Yet more and more young people are staking a claim for their own sovereignty, despite the risks. Jennifer  describes herself as "a slow learner," finding her way from engineering to enchantment after four decades of following society's definition for success. She shares her journey as something of a heroine's quest -- shifting her ground from corporate consulting to forest bathing, poetry,  songwriting, and finally, author of both a Nautilus Gold-winning children's book and a debut novel, recently launched.

Cultivating Buoyancy During Difficult Times

We are in an unfolding ecological and planetary crisis. Jennifer shares seven Crucial Capacities—skills necessary to meet these times with equanimity and wholeheartedness—to stay afloat, even joyful, amid the seismic shifts happening on our planet. Based upon visionaries' revelations, Jennifer's ability to synthesize and codify these concepts into seven daily practices offers inspiration and hope.

RECLAIM YOUR WILD: 5 Principles

From her massive identity shift—corporate engineer to Earth ally—Jennifer identifies five principles to align with the rhythm of Earth, getting back to our innate purpose, balance, and beauty in the process.
