Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, is an award-winning author, philosopher, and thought leader whose work explores the interconnectedness of humanity, nature, time, and the deeper wholeness that unites all life. Through his writings and teachings, he invites us to reconsider the ways we understand the world and to rediscover a more sacred relationship with one another and the Earth.

He is the author of Original Thinking: A Radical ReVisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature, Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again, and Original Love: The Timeless Source of Wholeness. Together, these works explore a vision of life rooted in interconnectedness, original wisdom, and the possibility of a more conscious and compassionate world.

As founder and past president of the SEED Institute, president of the Jean Gebser Society, and founder of the Circle for Original Thinking, Glenn has dedicated much of his work to creating spaces for meaningful dialogue between Indigenous wisdom traditions and Western science. From 1999 to 2011, he organized and participated in the groundbreaking Language of Spirit Conferences, bringing Native and Western scientists together in conversation around knowledge, consciousness, and our relationship with the natural world.

Through his writing, podcast, and facilitated dialogues, Glenn continues to encourage a deeper listening—one that honors diverse ways of knowing while recognizing the wisdom that emerges when we come together in a spirit of mutual respect.

At Guardians of the Sacred, Glenn joins a circle of Elders and Wisdom Keepers committed to restoring our relationship with the sacredness of life. His work reminds us that meaningful change begins when we rethink our place within the greater whole and remember the original connection between humanity, nature, and the source of love that unites us all.
