Mudang Jenn

Through ritual, spiritual consultations, and performance, bring together the old ways of Korean shamanism with the present-day realities we’re all living in.

Years in deep ritual practice and study, mentored by elders and shaped by both tradition and lived experience. My path has been anything but straight. I’ve had to unlearn, re-learn, and carve out space to honor both the spiritual world and the responsibilities I hold as a caretaker, artist, healer, and human being. My work is a living tradition, not something frozen in time.

What I offer is spiritual care that meets you where you are, whether through ancestral healing, ritual work, or helping you build a connection to spirit in your own way. I hold space for people to find belonging, remember who they are, and walk with their spirits without shame or fear.

I’m here to help people move with integrity between the seen and unseen, and to co-create spaces that are healing, honest, and deeply rooted in the sacred.

“Art activates the transformation of spirit. By connecting with our inner spirit and ancestral roots, we bring forth healing and harmony.”

Artistic Work & Collaborations

In my artistic practice, I merge ritual, storytelling, communal dialogue, and performance to create transformative experiences that connect audiences with ancestral wisdom, Korean shamanism, and spiritual insight. My work delves into themes of identity, diaspora, and resilience, offering a powerful exploration of the intersection between tradition and contemporary art.

I have been honored to collaborate with renowned organizations such as Recess Art, Canal Projects, Creative Time, and The Nicholson Project, as well as visionary and powerful artists in collaborative works, including A Young Yu and Nicholas Oh of Aydo Studios, Kimchi.juice (IG), C. Ryu , and Kayla Tange.

These partnerships have brought ceremonial art rooted in Korean shamanic practices into diverse spaces, where ancestral stories and rituals inspire healing, reflection, and community connection.

My collaborative projects span ritual performances, immersive installations, workshops, lectures and blessings—all designed to spark dialogue and foster spiritual renewal. Working with fellow artists allows me to intertwine our narratives, amplifying the voices of the diaspora while honoring each collaborator's unique perspective.
