The Alchemy Of Creative Living

The co-owner of Unleash Creatives, a holistic arts organization, Jen Knox is an educator and storyteller who teaches writing, leadership, and meditation. She is the author of We Arrive Uninvited (Steel Toe Books Award Winner) and The Glass City (Press Americana Prize for Prose). She has also co-written two books on creativity, Living Art and Create & Curate: 500 Ideas for Artists and Writers. After earning her BA from Otterbein and MFA from Bennington in Creative Nonfiction, Jen went on to work in the nonprofit world where she directed a writers-in-communities program that supported at-risk populations to find and share their voice and use writing as a tool to explore difficult subjects on the page. While teaching creative writing to adults and children for over a decade and leveraging her community experience to teach leadership and personal empowerment at The Ohio State University, Jen also earned her 200hr Teaching Certification through Uplifted™ Yoga YTT and her KYT from RaMa Institute. She began studying meditation techniques with various instructors around the world and ultimately began to combine her passion for creative expression and leadership with mindfulness practices.
