loving words…
“Jen's program is a living being, an enchanted place and a work of art all in one; woven together to support and surround you with love and possibility. Along with her warm and authentic guidance along the way, the stories, experiences, practices and materials harmonize beautifully to create a container like no other. It was exciting to be called in to a deeper understanding of my lineage and the mythology of my ancestors. It was healing to invite energies and archetypes in to my body in a new and nurturing way. And it was absolutely life-changing to have a safe space to share my desires and struggles and uncertainty... and be with them in a way that didn't push or force solutions and answers but instead shifted my overall understanding and way of being. I feel that my whole experience with Jen and the Celtic School of Embodiment was ESSENTIAL to recreating a more fluid way of life that I am continuing to expand into and let transform my world inside and out. With deeper listening, imagining and creating, and a return to magic...”

“Jen’s diverse life experiences, academic and research grounding, along with her experience as an embodiment coach gives the Incubator course an authenticity, depth, breadth and flexibility that is rare. As a visual artist with decades of experience, my immersion in working with Jen was life-enhancing and empowering. It opened portals to clarity, commitment and a renewed passion for my vocation as an artist. I was able to explore the question of leadership as an artist in the contemporary world with provocative curiosity. This course held space as I challenged so many of the murky, patriarchal and destructive paradigms rampant in the "art world". Developing an awareness of the crucial importance of embodiment practice woven into studio art practice is a gift of grounding for my work as an artist. It carries a sense of sovereignty that can not be fragmented, dismissed or compromised. This, for me, was the insight to the power of intuitive courage.”
-Irene, USA
“Jen is a magical human being and such an amazing guide for these times. I have done all of her programmes, including the Incubator, and each one has changed my life in both subtle and very noticeable ways. So many of us with Irish/Celtic ancestry are scattered around the world and I personally felt very disconnected from my lineage. Being able to reconnect with my lineage, both through going deeper into my own ancestry and by connecting to my mythical ancestry has made me feel so much more rooted not only to the land that they came from, but also to the land that I am born from and living in. The stories and connections have the ability to heal parts of you that you didn't even realise needed healing, and connect you back to our shared humanity. For someone who walks between this world and the Otherworld, this has created so much more safety for me to feel more free and open to co-creating with the Otherworld, and watching how beautifully Jen does this is very inspiring. I also love that everything comes from the lens of embodiment. For someone who lived disembodied for almost 20 years from various traumas, I have found that every space that Jen holds has given me the safety to slowly come back into my body. So many spiritual teachers are taking people out of their bodies, and really coming back home to the wisdom of my body, and being able to feel my sensitivity has been life-changing. The added bonus is that every person that Jen attracts is also really magical and the sisterhood that has been formed with the women I have met through the Incubator and her other programmes has also healed deep sister wounds. Thank you Jen, I will be forever grateful for the vital role you have played in my journey. To any magical person considering joining I can say, follow your heart if it is saying yes, as your life will not be the same again.”
-Beth, South Africa
“Being guided by Jen has been a nourishing save illuminating experience. She has shown me ways of being that I had long forgotten, uncovering parts of me that excite and inspire me. I found Jen and the Celtic Embodiment course at a time when my life was in turmoil; mental and physical pain was all I could navigate. The Celtic embodiment practices provide me with a bed of acceptance from which I found the space and capacity to heal and grow. This journey is only beginning for me; the stories, archetypes and connection to this land and my ancestors will forever be with me, shining a light to keep guiding me along this meaningful and energetic path. What Jen has created is pure draíocht [magic] that I adore being part of.”
-Siobhán, Ireland
“I don't know how to put into words how grateful I am to have come across Jen and the Celtic School of Embodiment. The attention to detail and effort that was put into this journey was abundantly clear to me throughout. Within moments of our first session, I felt completely safe to fully express myself with Jen, and this feeling of trust only continued to deepen as I made my way through the program. I decided to sign up for the Celtic School of Embodiment because I was feeling very called to connect more deeply with my Irish roots. Having moved to the US from Ireland at sixteen, I hadn't realized the impact this had on my soul, and how much I had really missed the land. Before working with Jen, I had started to feel as if I wasn't really "Irish" anymore, and feeling very disconnected from myself. Enrolling with Jen was one of the best decisions I've made. I feel so deeply connected to my heritage, my ancestors and myself. My creative energy has been renewed in a way that I didn't think was possible. There is so much gold and intention weaved into every single material Jen prepared for the self-led part of this journey, and she was always right there if I had any questions or simply wanted to share my reflections. My perspective on myself and my energy has been completely shifted, and I know this is just the beginning. If you are even slightly considering working with Jen, please do it. You will not regret it for a single moment.”
-Sarah, USA
“I have spent the last few years searching for where I belong in the world, as I live in a country that my ancestors are not originally from and I knew very little of my Celtic culture. The one sentence that best explains my experience is: I felt like I had come home. I was guided to meet mythological ancestors and places I never knew existed. I had profound and moving experiences through Jen’s guided meditations - listening to her voice and spoken Gaelic is moving in itself. Jen has a calming and beautiful way about her and I trusted her immensely. Her knowledge is next level as is the amount of energy and work she puts into this experience. I am forever grateful for this journey with Jen and the insight and sense of belonging it has given me.”
-Rachelle, New Zealand
“I loved the Mythic Body experience with Jen. With my father being Irish, but having grown up in Hong Kong I was always intrigued to understand more of my Celtic roots and ancestry. The call of the land is strong! I couldn't think of a better person to explore this with than Jen. Her knowledge of Celtic Mythology is unreal, coupled with her skills as a Feminine Embodiment Coach - the whole experience was purely magic!! Thank you Jen!”
- Siobhan, Hong Kong
“Jen shares the ancient women's wisdom that we need not fear the dark, we have been conditioned to but if we surrender and turn deeply within we will actually unleash our power. I received so much clarity and certainty through this journey, I delighted in the mythology that made my heart sing and the embodiment practices supported me to own the knowledge that my body resonated with. I would say to anyone considering working with Jen that I would endorse her as the most authentic facilitator I have ever worked with. My work through Double Goddess is to hold women through rites-of-passage, through their power and also through times of significant loss and transformation, I feel this program has allowed my work to go to a deeper level and fostered my growth and certainty that it is time now for women to witness and facilitate each other's power. A journey that I know Jen is one of my sisters in as she shines a light and walks this journey to share her magic with those who are fortunate enough to cross her path.”
-Ellie-Lea, Australia
“This class changed my life. I stumbled upon it when I was struggling to connect to my intuition and my reasons for emigrating to Ireland, and it helped me tap into both my intuitive wisdom and my relationship to the land. The stories of powerful, complex women were spiritually fulfilling and validating of my own magic. The embodiment practices helped me get out of my head and into my body and discover my power. In addition, Jen is a fabulous leader and guide. Her knowledge of Celtic myth is astounding, and moreover she is the most understanding, empathetic, and intuitive person I have worked with. I felt so safe during my one-on-one embodiment coaching with her and trusted her so completely. At the beginning she said it was okay if the session didn't lead to an "ah-ha!" moment, but then... it did! It was such a profound and moving experience, thanks to Jen. I feel like I emigrated to Ireland to find this class, and I know I will take what I learned from it into the world with me for years to come.”
-Amelia, Ireland & USA
“Don’t hesitate to join the Celtic School of Embodiment. You will be guided and held in the true care and devotion of Jen. You will learn and experience more than you imagine as she creates something more than generous for you. This is the best of academic research and mystical teaching and transmission from the heart of the motherland. Jen is a truly gifted priestess and a brave sister sending the call out to those who hear it. You will love her and every Celtic sister who is in her community. They are all such beautiful souls and let out your battle cry with the Morrigan as you put to death the patriarchy’s story and raise the voices of your mythical ancestors. Gather the cauldron for the tears that will gather and alchemise your transformation.”
-Sul, Puerto Rico
“My experience with Mythic Body and Jen as a coach was tender and magical. Though I had been exposed to several of the concepts within the curriculum, the depth of the practices, and particularly the embodied movement, was truly powerful. Jen created a visceral sense of safety in the 1-on-1 coaching sessions that supported exploration, unfolding and tuning into myself. The whole process was transformational and I am deeply grateful for this beautiful work.”
-Alex, Canada
“Jen was masterful at guiding me out of my logical, rationalizing mind and into my body to seek answers. That made all the difference. Through her facilitation, the answers outpoured with ease and came so clearly. It was like a tidal wave of downloads were finally released. The visions and messages I received through working with Jen continue to be fruitful. Jen holds space like an ancient wise woman, which I suspect she is at the soul level, with an ever-curious and nurturing presence that makes it feel safe to fully disarm. Her knowledge, stories, and insights from Celtic mythology seem to be just the medicine needed for a busy, modern-day woman. It’s nothing I would have suspected on my own until I experienced it first-hand. And above all, she has a keen intuition and ability to channel the words and energy needed to allow you to draw nearer to your true self and inner wisdom for the answers.”
-Kimothy, USA
“Working with Jen is nothing less than alchemical. Her powerful combination of Celtic mythology, storytelling and embodiment coaching is nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. Jen’s nurturing presence and gentle curiosity created the safe space I needed to dig deep into those hidden parts of myself. It was a powerfully visual and symbolic exploration into the insights my body had to offer. The beauty of this work is that it is never limited to just the session. The stories have a mystical quality and show up when you least expect it, allowing the work and the transformation to reverberate throughout the days and weeks to follow. Jen is a true wise woman and it was such an honour to be held and guided by her. Deeply grateful for you and the potent medicine that is your heart-centered work, dear Jen!”
-Amy, Australia
“It really felt like we bypassed the conscious mind so that my BODY could SPEAK to me. I was amazed at the intuitive movements my body made under Jen’s guidance – past traumas coming to the surface to be acknowledged and healed. Jen is very wise and intuitive and helped me to extract some powerful insights and next steps. The weaving of Celtic mythology into the sessions was so powerful. I instantly identified with the story of the selkie woman. For me, the ‘sealskin’ represented my ‘personal power’ which I gave away – nobody ‘took’ it from me. These ancient stories have profound messages for women today.”
-Deirdre, Ireland
“I came to the Celtic Embodiment program hoping to find a deeper connection to my Irish and Scottish roots and found that I came away with so much more. Each week’s gathering was so informative and the journey meditations into the mythologies and themes were so potent. I loved the at-home work, the Celtic Embodiment library and our Facebook group shares that helped guide us more onto the different paths we chose to take with the information given. If you are looking for a program that will support you in finding home in your Celtic roots and the mythologies, and you are feeling called to bring some magic back to every day life, I would highly suggest Jen’s program.”
-Jenn, USA
“Jen held the space perfectly and compassionately. I felt relaxed and trusted the process. I could sense a beautiful embodied resonance. It was a very profound experience when I found my selkie skin being trapped in my heart. After that there was a beautiful process unfolding when I found out I could wear it whenever I need it to protect me on the one hand and on the other hand to be seen as a glimmering being. The experience was so visceral. I first felt like a sprout and then grew into a big tree with swaying branches. It was truly a mythical journey that my being traveled through. Thank you for your magnificent work, Jen!”
-Marion, Germany
“From the get go, the sisterhood was just natural, that in itself was so healing to be able to meet beautiful women from different walks of life and just connect. The content itself is truly liberating. It has allowed me to embrace all of who I am and has really opened me up to living in alignment with the cycles of nature and life. The embodiment practices took me out of my comfort zone and gifted me with a deep appreciation for the amount of wisdom our bodies hold that we often take for granted or have completely lost touch with. Thank you Jen for creating such a magical experience, I can’t wait to continue sharing this journey with you.”
— BETH, SOUTH AFRICA
“Jen is one of the most genuine, intuitive and loving women I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Her knowledge, passion and energy were felt deeply and viscerally. I’m in awe of her ability to guide us on these incredible journeys of self discovery using the myths. She is a wise women and healer through and through and I’m just absolutely grateful to have her as a teacher and guide. I can’t recommend her courses enough or emphasize the astoundingly beautiful, uplifting and safe space she creates and facilitates.”
— DESIREE, USA
“This is the work that we need at this time in history! It felt so special to be part of a group from all over the world exploring our connection to consciousness, the land and our ancestral lines. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know many of the myths or stories in advance as Jen made everyone feel welcome with their level of knowledge and for their unique wisdom. I can’t wait to see the Celtic sisterhood expand!”
— SARAH, Northern Ireland
“It has been a life-changing experience. And Jen! Jen is pure magic. I got amazed various times by her knowledge. I really do not understand how all this knowledge and wisdom could be present in only one body, it is a miracle. She is a gorgeous guide, her voice is a balm for the ears. The wisdom she possesses is absolutely unique. I did not like to meditate previously, as I was struggling to visualise images... but with Jen I truly SAW images in front of me. I could almost touch them. All my surroundings were full of images even smells and I could be really, wholeheartedly present in what my soul has to unfold for me. With Jen I have discovered that there is much more for us in life. I have allowed myself to really flourish and I am starting my studies of Scottish Gaelic! I could really feel that this is one of the most important things I have ever done. It was an experience from the Otherworld and my only wish is that everyone could be brave enough to follow those small impulses, feelings and ideas which lead us back to ourselves.”
-Monika, Czech Republic
“Working with Jen is a totally unique and wonderful experience. She is an incredibly kind and wise soul. I had a profound and positive shift both mentally and emotionally that has continued to influence every aspect of my life. Jen’s intuition and guidance meant I felt cared for and supported through every step of the way and she helped me uncover aspects of myself that I hadn’t acknowledged before but that were longing for attention. As a result I feel empowered to show up as I desire to be in the world; I am more fully connected to the innate knowledge that resides within me and I know that I can trust myself and my body to provide answers to the questions I am asking. Jen’s beautiful fusion of coaching, embodiment and Celtic mythology are an exceptionally powerful force for creating understanding of my own patterns in modern life and how I can choose to live differently in order to create more balance and joy.”
-Eimear, Ireland
“A Celtic Embodiment session with Jen is like being held by the soft waves of a warm sea on the shore. Her voice and energy is a current that lovingly guides me to find my treasures and feel what is in the way of accessing them. The invocation of the mythological story of a woman fitted so well in my own story that I felt deeply understood and enabled to unfold my wounds, so that I could connect unconditionally to my power. Thank you for being here now Jen!”
-Alexandra, Switzerland
“I have spent my whole life connecting to spirit, the cosmos, the universe as a healer. I have had profound and mystical experiences in many different realms, but by Jen guiding me to drop into my body - the wisdom, the ancient knowledge and the healing I received was more profound than anything I have ever experienced. I had an incredible breakthrough and aha moment in a one hour session with Jen that I didn’t have even with many extreme plant medicine experiences! I highly recommend Jen for this incredible and profound work. The time has come for us to land back into our wise bodies!”
-Sarah, Ireland
“When I started down the rabbit hole of searching for Irish female warriors, where were they mentioned? Did they exist? Little did I know I would find this amazing course. The more I read Jen's work and listened to her voice, I knew it would be special. What I didn't know was how exceptional it would be. From the amazing content, which is so beautifully presented and written to the magic of Jen's guiding voice filling me with ancient wisdom. I definitely have spent a large part of my life disembodied. Feeling into our native ancestral archetypal energies, I found deep connections... From one week to the next I couldn't wait to log on and get into what 'imbas' Jen was going to gift us. This is the start of a journey of finding my way home to my own body and honouring my native land, language and ancestors. And although I've been stepping "off the path of patriarchy and going out in the woods", Jen has now given me tools so I understand why, and know that these whispers and "breadcrumbs" were intuitively calling me to reclaim my body in a way that allows me to be free.”
-Catriona, Ireland
“I can say with absolute certainty that this was an incredibly life-changing experience. Jen is a kind and intuitive wise woman, who made our space so safe, warm and inviting. I have met some inspiring women—all on their own journeys—and hope that this connection continues. I have discovered parts of myself that were long dormant, learned more about Ireland and the links between our landscape and bodies, and thanks to Jen and our beautiful sisterhood, I feel confident to deepen this exploration. Jen’s wise words, soothing voice and knowledge are a balm, and I look forward to more experiences with our Celtic Sisterhood.”
— BECCA, IRELAND.
“This experience with Jen was so empowering but also gave space to be vulnerable and to connect with ourselves and each other. I felt like I began to unlock secrets in my soul that I had always sensed the presence of but couldn’t fully tap into yet. I believe learning about these ancient energies that our ancestors knew and archived for us via story and lore, helps us to unlock our own magic and that is so needed in this current Earth paradigm. Ancient Gods and Goddesses and Elemental energies remind us that we are divinely connected to the Earth, the Sky, to each other and to ourselves. Thank you so much!!”
— JAMIE, USA
“It is exceptionally hard to sum up in a few short words the connection felt within our Banríon circle of sisterhood... You may wonder how can you bond so quickly with women from all walks of life, all on different journeys in such a short space of time... The answer is Jen. All I can say is that this connection happened due to the beautiful, safe sharing space created and fostered by Jen as she took us on a journey through womanhood and connecting to your celtic soul. Such a magical experience that will stay with me for a very long time. mile buiochas to you Jen.”
-Sarah, Ireland
“I recently attended Celtic Mythology Embodiment Workshops with Jen Murphy. Jen shares an abundance of Celtic knowledge that would be difficult to find elsewhere. I learned so much about my feminine power and how to harness my own power deep within me and my life. I look forward to working with Jen again soon! Thank you so much. Niamh x”
