You are cordially invited to join the Actionable Innovations Global community for a conversation with Jenny Finn, the Founding Visionary and Executive Director of Springhouse, an innovative nonprofit organization and school located in Virginia.

Thirty-three years ago, Jenny Finn woke up to the gift of this life in an extraordinary way. That wake up call quickly turned into a call to service to mentor people, communities, and organizations in the art of coming alive. Jenny had no idea that following that call would lead to founding a school or a printing press – but she did both through Springhouse. Springhouse is a cultural experiment that creates culture that takes care of Life through education, media, and a global network. Springhouse practices and shares Sourced Design through a high school, the Sourced Design Lab, a cultural design program for adults, and our very own print shop called Sourced Press.
