This collaboration is for participants in the Leading as Sacred Practice conferences and Exchanges being sponsored by The GLEN in collaboration with Holger Scholz, founder of kommunikationslotsen in Germany. Material from the conferences posted here, along with forums for continuing exchange and sharing of resources.

As we women come ever more fully into our own, we are creating the world we want. The purpose of the Women of the GLEN Collaboration is to foster a deeper understanding of feminine wisdom in leadership and to promote an integrated wisdom in men and women leaders for a safer, better, more humane and just world.

This collaboration is to explore what it means to be a fully embodied and vital man in a time of “metoo,” complex gender distinctions, mounting global and systemic challenges, the elevation of authoritarian responses to complexity, and evolving roles for young and old. This collaboration will organize spaces for in-depth sharing and insights that we will share with the larger community through different forms of media.

Teresa Ruelas and her collaborators are supporting farmers on the island of Cebu in the Philippines to grow organic food and market it through farmers markets, which include a place where community gathers, shares information on gardening, health benefits of certain fruits and vegetables and herbs, recipes, and new business ideas. The project is now a non-profit called the Communities for Alternative Food Eco-systems or CAFÉ. 

This team, facilitated by David Sibbet, works together to evolve The GLEN's website, design and edit outputs from Exchanges and Collaborations, and helps develp new self-paced learning resources that can be shared with the larger public.

This is a collaboration of a formal advisory board, GLEN Directors, and active members interested in seeing the patterns of learning, growth and development emerging.  This collaboration tracks needs of members, programming strategies, and issues that need resolution.
