about
the rhythm isn’t linear. it’s circular, cellular, star-born and soil-fed.

​
I'm Jen Rivers — unschooling mother, mystic, writer, guide, and lineage listener.
​
Born in the year of Woodstock, and raised on the music of the 1960s', I was always drawn to what schools don't teach— mystery, emotion, and the esoteric. In third grade, I got a ride to school from music legend Johnny Winter — a wild spark that shaped my early years. I've lived all over the U.S. — by the redwoods, oceans, mountains, swamps, and deserts —they're all part of me.
​
After college, I moved to Taos, New Mexico, to study healing arts. The land was my teacher, and my body found its own rhythm — slower, deeper, more connected than the quicker tempo of the East Coast. I learned from curanderas, sat with Pueblo friends around fires, and they told me about what we saw in the night sky, the Star People. I was a bouncer for a rockabilly band. Astrology found me there, not as a prediction but as a metaphorical language where the skies were constantly changing and mirrored the cycles of my body and intuition.
​
I hold degrees in Elementary & Middle School Education, Cultural Anthropology, and Holistic Counseling. For thirty years, I've worked as a holistic practitioner — bodyworker, intuitive guide, yoga teacher, counselor, and astrologer. For a decade, I taught elementary and middle school, and now I unschool alongside my son because learning happens everywhere, all day long, not just in classrooms.
​
This work about reconnecting with our interior system and our sovereignty. Remembering who we were before we arrived here, and where integrating the shadow is essential. This space is a holistic, creative container for mystics, guides, artists, dancers, mothers, fathers, and unschooling souls — to explore intuition, astrology, and ritual, and walk away with your own answers. It's about making room for your own magic to emerge, rooted in the mundane, connected to the stars, and the body. When we create space and explore the wisdom of the cosmos which reflects life on earth, transformation happens.
I live in Vermont on unceded Abenaki/Wabanaki land with my husband, our son, and two cats who keep me grounded. Here we're remembering together. Participating in the larger dream of the collective--the one where all human beings are safe, healthy, and free.
