Her
influences and mentors include
Sobonfu
Somé, a respected indigenous teacher and author from the Dagara
tribe of Burkino Faso, West Africa. After assisting and
studying with
Somé for four years, Jennifer participated in
a Dagara Initiation in 2004. She continues to study this
tradition and has been invited to visit Sobonfu's village in
2011.
Jennifer
is also an ordained minister through the Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere,
the renowned author, researcher and practitioner of energy
medicine. That training has led Jennifer to focus on
bringing more spirit into everyday life, untethered to the
tenets of organized religion.

Through her association with Bruyere, Jennifer has studied
some of the practices of Bon, the
indigenous religion of Tibet. Her teachers have included the
leader of the Bon-Po, his Holiness the Gyalwa Menriwa, whom
she visited in 2000. This photo is taken at the Menri
Monastary
in northern India.
