Dr. Jessica Spring Weappa is an organic intellectual theorizing from life—as a mother, artist, therapist, and scholar-practitioner. She draws from integral transdisciplinarity—spanning psychology, somatics, mythology, ecology, and narrative therapy—to explore what it means to be fully human. Founder of Mothering Futures®, she writes and teaches on matrisophy, matrescence, and maternal wealth. Her scholarly and therapeutic work is shaped by a background in holistic education, depth psychology, and the interdisciplinary arts, as well as formative years in a cooperative farming community rooted in care ethics.
Jessica speaks regularly at academic conferences, community education events, and wellness retreats. Her writing appears in several peer-reviewed collections from Demeter Press and the Journal of the Motherhood Initiative, including Care-Based Creative Futures: Regenerative Maternal Ethics; Luminous Butterfly Weed and Red Thread; Gone Spielreinian: Maternal Ferality and the Suprahumanities; and The Motherlines of Asclepius: Ancestral Female Healers in the Origins of Medicine.
