Jen Murphy Celtic Embodiment

Jen Murphy

Jen Murphy is an Irish mythologist, anthropologist and creativity mentor, and founder of The Celtic Creatives (formerly the Celtic School of Embodiment).

A Dubliner born and bred, from the time she could talk, Jen’s grandmother Frances O’Sullivan filled her ears with tales from Irish myth and folklore, fuelling a now 40-year fascination with the stories of her lineage. Jen’s apprenticeship to following her soul’s breadcrumbs over the past twenty years has guided her work and formal studies in Medieval Irish and Celtic Studies, Sociocultural Anthropology, Creativity and Innovation, and Jungian Psychology and Art Therapy.

She supports creatives from diverse fields to (re)connect with the mythopoetic imagination of Ireland, using ancient wisdom to inform modern creativity through myth, dreamwork, imagination and the body. She is currently writing a book on what Irish mythology can teach us about our creativity.
