FOUNDER OF RESONANCE INSTITUTE
Hi there. I'm Jax.
Welcome to my little corner of the outer space ocean. I’m an artist, educator, alchemist, quantum mystic, and wanderlust of seen and unseen worlds. You've arrived in a living, evolving digital ecosystem where practice, study, and experimentation weave a current through the great spiral. This is a place for quiet seekers, mycelial diaspora, divergent creatives, grief tenders, change shapers, lightkeepers, and visionaries of embodied futures. Here you'll find offerings and scholarship for navigating through the unknown in service to collective liberation, and care. Grateful to be in bloom with you. ꩜
ABOUT JAX
Jacqueline (Jacque) Fitzgerald (M.Ed.) is an educator, artist, and practitioner with 20 years of experience in culture and social change work, education, and the arts. She works with individuals and small groups to cultivate internal and interpersonal relational resonance towards creative expression and collective liberation. Jacque has served as a secondary social justice English teacher and equity leader in public schools, a culture worker and experiential facilitator in arts and environmental non-profits, and a trauma-informed space holder for events, process groups, and artist support. Since 2019, she has practiced and trained in the Internal Family Systems modality and embodied somatics. She is a musician and songwriter who has co-producer two LPs with her solo project, echo onda. She also regularly writes and publishes stories, essays, and I Ching/Celtic divination studies on her Substack, theory of resonance. Jacque is a lifelong student and sovereign scholar of resonance theory as a spiraling and guiding force in the material and post-material worlds for healing ourselves, one another, and the earth.
Jacque's approach to her resonance work is informed by cross-cultural ancient and indigenous ways of understanding, somatic embodiment practice, mystic alchemy, ecopsychology, emergent strategy, neuroscience, and quantum theory. Her identities as a queer, multiracial, intuitive neurodivergent, and descendant of an adoptee inform her liminal worldview, steeped in imaginative possibility and liberation through integration. She belongs to the convergence of Celtic, Korean, and Caribbean waters, to earth, ether, and creative source. Her warm, curious approach to new world emergence and soul tending is rooted in the belief that being reveals the what, practice leads to how, and that we already are enough.
