2026 Classes
I'm proud to be partnering with The Soul Purpose Wellness Center in Swansea to offer the classes below. Throughout the year I am also teaching/available to lead workshops and events at local libraries, universities, and wellness centers. Contact me to learn more.
ABOUT THE CIRCLE: Being an empath isn’t just about feeling deeply—it’s about learning how to thrive with your sensitivity. If you’ve ever absorbed the emotions of others, felt emotionally exhausted after spending time with certain people, struggled with energetic boundaries, or simply sensed there was more to your sensitivity than most people understand, this monthly circle was created for you. Each gathering combines practical education, meaningful discussion, grounding techniques, energy exercises, and real-life tools designed to help you better understand yourself and confidently navigate everyday life as an empath. As a special part of every circle, Jen offers mini Oracle Card Empath Readings, giving participants intuitive insight, encouragement, and personal guidance connected to the evening’s theme. You’ll Leave With: • Greater confidence in your empathic gifts • Practical grounding and energy management tools • Healthier emotional and energetic boundaries • Techniques to calm overwhelm and overstimulation • Increased trust in your intuition • A deeper understanding of yourself • Supportive connection with others who truly understand Sharing is always optional, and every gathering is warm, welcoming, and judgment-free. Whether you attend one evening or join us throughout the year, each workshop stands on its own while helping you build greater confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being. Come comfortable, bring a journal if you’d like, and invest two hours each month in your own healing, growth, and empowerment. Your sensitivity isn’t something to overcome. It’s something to understand, strengthen, and embrace.
