Jaecinta Harris

Jaecinta is a prolific creator and channel. Her passions are extensive, ranging from creating art, business, fine cuisine, music, comedy, dance, and film, to creative writing and theory. When she’s not teaching and channeling for people, she will be found expressing herself through the above forms, wandering through nature on the beautiful 8 acres known as Conscious Culture Cooperative (her ohm sweet ohm), or traveling around the planet on various ventures and quests.

Though she’s recently taken a break from social media to focus on creating the Cooperative and birthing her daughter, in addition to her life coaching and teaching, Jaecinta keeps a weekly podcast, Q&A with Jaecinta, where she channels timely answers for the collective, addressing the current tides with practical tools and insights. You can find her on Instagram @WanderlustWarrior, on Facebook, or view her poetry, art, prose and theory via her WordPress blog.
