Gwen Garcelon - Exploring and weaving with a prosocial orientation since before it was a thing in the Roaring Fork Valley, under Mt Sopris, Colorado
In this episode we are joined by Landscape Leader Gwen Garcelon. Gwen’s career path has included community organizing, social entrepreneurship, sustainability consulting, local food systems development, and executive coaching. Gwen is oriented towards seeing the big picture. She is an advocate for listening to and seeing the wholeness of local landscapes, for engaging with the full spectrum of human emotion and experience, for bringing whole communities to the table, for making room to be the best mom she can be, and for fun! Her focus through all of this is also how we as communities, as humans, are called to evolve in this moment of great adaptive pressure. The planet needs us to become more than we as a collective have been and from what we've seen Gwen embodies a beautiful response to that call.
