Jenna Ansell, Akasha Productions

With nineteen years of experience in international event production, Jenna has built a reputation for bringing exceptional intellectual rigour, creative vision, and operational precision to every project she touches.

Her work spans continents. From managing Medicine through the complexities of the pandemic, to directing the Ancient Futures Festival in Bali, to food-focused productions in Ibiza and beyond. In each case, the thread is the same: immersive, purposeful experiences that leave something lasting in the people who attend them.

She is motivated by the belief that how we gather shapes who we become, and that events, done with integrity, are among the most powerful tools for positive change.

From the first conversation to the final bow, Jenna weaves every element together: logistics and poetry, infrastructure and intention, detail and vision. The word Akasha means the space that allows all things to exist, and that connective tissue is at the heart of everything she creates.
