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 believe that pastoral care is the heartbeat of ministry, and congregational life. 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. 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.

Justice Lens

"From insightful and inspiring worship services in a variety of styles to gently but firmly bringing justice lenses to all that we did, I believe Jenna is doing remarkable work in all areas of ministry."
