Greetings, I'm Rev. Jenna
I am a Unitarian Universalist minister based in the Boston area. In this pandemic era, I am passionate about using somatics and embodiment practices to process the stress and trauma living in our bodies. I am energized by the future of lifespan faith development in the 21st century, and bring with me my experience as an outdoor educator and field instructor in New Mexico and a love of outdoor and experiential education. I believe that pastoral care is the heartbeat of ministry, and congregational life. And I am passionate about the ways our congregations can journey together to dismantle oppression in ourselves and institutions, on our paths toward building the Beloved Community.
