I’ve been teaching a variety of subjects, to a variety of audiences from pre-school to senior adults, for more than 20 years. I’m known for being a lively, hands-on, and entertaining speaker, who enjoys making a crowd laugh as much as holding them spellbound in suspense. I enjoy offering workshops, events, storytelling performances, and speaking engagements to conferences, college classrooms, churches, New Age stores, non-profits, and others. Please see my Facebook page for my latest events.
Recent praise:
“Dearest Jai, It was such a wonderful honor to host you, as a healer-shaman and conduit of our ancestors at this year’s Ray Warren Symposium, “Beyond Resistance: Race And Revolutionary Struggle”.
I’m so grateful for our soul connection, for the strength you inspire within me, and for your guidance in weaving threads of peace and resolution–within myself, each other, and this cosmos.
The co-chairs thank you from the bottom of our hearts for blessing us with your presence, spirit, wisdom, and integrity.”
-A.J.S
