Welcome.
Considering how the words matter, material, and mother all share the root māter, my intention is to contribute to a shift from de-mater-ialized consciousness to matrifutures rooted in relationally attuned, care-based worldviews.
- Jessica Spring Weappa, Ph.D.
Integrating the heart of ancient wisdom with contemporary research outcomes in biopsychosocial-spiritual fields of inquiry, Dr. Jessica Spring Weappa teaches about the power of mothering in its prismatic wholeness and full potentiality.
A certified narrative therapist and transdisciplinary scholar-practitioner, Jessica has been engaged in fieldwork, research, and leadership in maternal psychology, thealogy, the arts, integral education, and cultural ecology for more than two decades. In her current scholarship, she extends maternal ethics from care ethics to highlight the centrality of mothering in human becoming while pointing to its precarious positions in contemporary society.
Whether working with Jessica individually, in an educational course, as a participant in a gathering, you can expect to experience a revelation of knowledge, meaning, or possibility that was previously hidden or perhaps challenging to name and describe. In all of Jessica’s care-based relational work, she invites conversant co-creative processes that hold potential to thicken, enrich, and synthesize a repertoire of resources for flourishing futures.
