“Creating is soulful work; Meaningful, beautiful, essential work. What could be more powerful than the intuitive act of Creation itself?”
Jen Cushman is a natural storyteller drawn to the imperfect, the quirky, the artsy and the authentic. She’s spent 25 years as a mixed-media artist and instructor, authored two jewelry-making books, has been widely published in national magazines. November 2023, Jen self-published the Joy FULL Oracle Card Deck for Creatives, Healers and Feelers which is sold directly from her website and at small independent book sellers. Jen’s also been a guest artist on numerous DIY television shows.
When the pandemic hit, Jen followed her heart and started a new business called Soul Stir Magic to virtually work one-on-one with clients as an empathic intuitive, energy practitioner and an intuitive coach for women ready to release old stories, family patterns and limiting beliefs that unconsciously hold them back from realizing their dreams and living their best lives.
July 2023, Jen again followed her intuition and began Soul Stirring Retreats with her life and now business partner Greg, where she invites adventurous women to join her and world-class guest artist instructors on art retreats to re-ignite their passionate maker hearts and refresh their spirit.
Jen’s purpose is to be a creative visionary and intuitive guide to help women tap into their inner knowing. When her clients discover their superpowers and radiate authenticity, happiness and purpose, it creates a chain of light that heals, shifts and soars not only their own lives but the lives of those they love.
