Hi, I’m Jen — gardener of prairies, explorer of thresholds, and writer of the in-between.

I started the meadow between as a space for reflection, renewal, and the slow noticing of life’s mysteries. My background is in theology, spiritual care, and coaching, but my real teachers have been the expansive prairies, the changing seasons, the unruly beauty of a native garden, and the wild (and often hilarious) ways life resists tidy boxes.

I linger in life’s in-between spaces and at the sacred edges of becoming. Sometimes I draw on symbols, myths, and metaphors; sometimes I let the native garden in my backyard do the speaking; and sometimes the only way through is with my dad’s most precious gift to me — his humor.

Liminality is not just something to endure, but a place of deep renewal. Here in the meadow between, I invite you to slow down, notice what stirs at the edges, and linger with me in the sacred work of becoming.

And laugh. We can’t forget to laugh.

a few things about me

• I hold an MDiv and bring experience leading retreats, workshops, and community rituals.
• I’ve spent my career creating spaces where people feel welcome to be fully themselves — joys, griefs, awkward pauses, and all.
• My garden keeps me humble: it teaches patience, resilience, and that sometimes the rabbits win.
• I believe every threshold — sunrise, season change, hard decision — is an invitation to slow down, listen, and maybe laugh along the way.

why i’m here

I created the meadow between to be a place where you can pause and breathe differently. It’s a space for reflection and renewal — but also for humor and humanity. Because becoming isn’t tidy. It’s mysterious, sacred, and sometimes downright funny.

I’m glad you’re here. Let’s walk this meadow together.
