Jan Phillips | Award-winning author, activist and modern-day prophetess on trusting yourself and living into your sacred power.

Jan Phillips is a visionary thought leader, award-winning author and dynamic speaker. She is co-founder and executive director of the Livingkindness Foundation.

Her work has been published in the New York Times, Ms. Magazine, Sun, Newsday, People Magazine, and the Christian Science Monitor.  She is co-founder and executive director of Livingkindness Foundation.

Jan has worked in 23 countries presenting keynotes, workshops, and retreats. She creates a unique multi-sensory experience, weaving humor, storytelling, video and music to inspire and ignite insights for life-changing action. Jan shows people how to access their wisdom, activate their creative energy and communicate with passion and power.

Her own quest has led her into and out of a religious community, across the U.S. on a Honda motorcycle, and around the world on a one-woman peace pilgrimage. Blending east and west, art and activism, reflection and ritual, Jan’s presentations are transformative, uplifting, and soul-stirring.

Since the interview, Jan was a TEDx speaker. Visit Jan's website: https://janphillips.com/
