Welcome to a space of healing, connection, and self-discovery 💜🕊️

Hi, I’m ZenJen 👋

I’m 62 now, and I think I’m more myself than I’ve ever been.

I didn’t start this work young. I came to it in my 50s, through my own need to heal, change, slow down, and find a different way of living in my own skin.

And somewhere along the way, that very personal journey became my life’s work.

Today, I’m a Teacher of Presence, internationally certified C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, Meditation Instructor, Reiki Energy Master, ordained minister, writer, editor, and founder of the Zenful Conversations.

But if you ask me what I actually do? I create spaces for people to be human.

Spaces to breathe. To help balance the nervous system. To write something true.

To talk about what matters. To sit quietly when words aren’t needed.

To laugh. To listen. To simply be.

I don’t believe we need to constantly fix ourselves. I do believe many of us are moving through a very loud world, carrying more than we say out loud. A lot of my work begins there.

I’ve spent years studying yoga therapy, meditation, restorative practices, trauma-informed approaches, energy healing, and the nervous system. I trained with Eckhart Tolle and Kim Eng through The School of Awakening, and presence is not simply something I teach. It is something I keep learning how to live.

I’m certified and registered with the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT), Yoga Alliance, International Association of Reiki Professionals, International Healers Association, International Association of Therapists, and Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology. My additional training includes therapeutic, restorative and Yin yoga, senior yoga, balance and flexibility, trauma-informed practices, meditation, Reiki and energy healing, and more.

I’m also an ordained minister. I officiate weddings, funerals, memorials, and other meaningful moments in people’s lives. This is work I hold very close to my heart.

In 2019, I created the Zenful Conversations Community. I had no grand plan. I just knew I wanted more honest conversation in the world. What grew from that still amazes me.

Today, Zenful Conversations is an online community where people gather for writing workshops, poetry, open mics, meditation, conversations with poets, writers, and creatives, and simply to spend time together.

I also host the Zenful Conversations Podcast and YouTube channel, with hundreds of conversations, meditations, and other offerings.

I’m the editor of "Peace, Please" and INTENTION OF LOVE, community poetry anthologies bringing together voices from around the world.

I’m also the founder and editor of Living Your Poetry, a Zenful Conversations Community Publication exploring something I care about deeply: what does it mean to not only write about the things that matter to us, but to live them?

These days, I’m less interested in fitting into a title and more interested in what happens when we make room for each other.

A real conversation. A quiet breath. A little more balance in the nervous system.

A poem that needed somewhere to land. Someone showing up exactly as they are.

That’s the work.

We talk. We write. We laugh.

Come as you are.

Namaste. 🙏
