More about Jenny

Jenny Finn is a licensed social worker (LSW), movement educator and owner of Soma, Ltd, offering opportunities for healing through creative expression and embodied practice. This spring Jenny traveled around the world with Semester at Sea, a unique study abroad program, where she taught undergraduate students the value and practice of self inquiry through creative expression. It was on this trip that Jenny felt an immense connection to the students of this particular age group and has become a passionate advocate for these young people. With attendance at her classes numbering over one hundred students, it became very clear to Jenny that undergraduate students want and need creative opportunities for self development in their educational process. She is pursuing her PhD in Sustainability Education at Prescott College to explore the issue of sustainability through the lens of internal development, creative expression and bodily connection. To fuel her inner life and guide her passion, Jenny loves to be outdoors, where you will find her hiking in the canyons of Colorado, or swimming laps in the pool. She loves to sing and play piano, write, practice yoga and knit. She loves to travel and has circumnavigated the globe twice with her family. Jenny lives on an urban farm with her family in downtown Colorado Springs, where they take care of bees, chickens and organic vegetables. She mothers two young children, is married to Andy and continues to deepen into her body and soul through movement and dance. She is grateful for this incredible gift of life and continues to be awed by the beauty that it offers.
