Testimonials
Jade is bold and empathetic, analytical and intuitive, passionate and dedicated to her work and her words. I have had the pleasure of experiencing her as a writer and public speaker, workshop facilitator and healing arts professional and she brings equal level of
professionalism and authenticity into all her
areas of practice.
| TERESA MATEUS, LCSW, E-RYT 200, CO-FOUNDER OF THE MYSTIC SOUL PROJECT |
“Jade T. Perry’s writing is moving, pure and simple.
She reminds us of the clarity that comes with being one’s authentic self. By this, I mean the courage to be transparent in public spaces. Jade is a provocateur, but not in the sense of grenade tossing for clicks. Her words betray her desire to free us, and her own deep connection to the Universe.”
| KIMBERLY PEELER-RINGER, THE CHURCHED FEMINIST |
“Working with Jade to plan and implement a training on Contemplative Activism was a joyful process from start to finish….
“Jade’s clear communication about her process, ethic, and needs helped me to clarify our objectives for the training, and to have a clear sense of timeline in our planning process. While “virtual” trainings can be a challenge, especially when interactive facilitation is the goal, Jade was wonderfully able to engage Life Together fellows in dialogue and to facilitate small groups despite not being physically present in the room. Her open and honest communication helped the fellowsto ask questions about the frameworks being presented, and her invitation to “take what works for you, and leave the rest” allowed fellows to engage with the materials in a way that worked for them. Fellows left the session feeling seen, stimulated, and encouraged to continue exploring Contemplative Activism in their daily lives. We had a great experience working with Jade, and hope to continue our collaborations in the future!”
“When I tell you this Goddess has an aura that feels like lifetimes of wisdom are surrounding her, it is the absolute truth. She helped me unravel things that I’d been stressing over for longer than I care to admit [...] What she brings to the world is special and I am thankful to have met her.”
