Rev. Gabriele Ganswindt & Meg Wheatley

Teaches at One Spirit Learning Alliance

Rev. Gabriele Ganswindt is a graduate of One Spirit Interfaith Seminary (2008) and serves as an “underground” minister supporting leaders and professionals in both the USA and Europe as an executive, life, and legacy coach and organizational consultant. She is a psychologist by training and has been a life-long learner on how to inspire and foster life-affirming work places and noble leaders. She is president of Shared Learning International, an international leadership development firm near Boston. She has studied with Margaret Wheatley for 30 years and been in training as a Warrior for the Human Spirit since 2015. She serves as a senior student with Meg Wheatley. Most recently she created an “O.as.is” in her hometown, Wellesley, MA. It is a sanctuary, an island of peace and sanity bringing leaders and locals together in community to practice being peaceful warriors in these days. Gabriele is excited to bring this offering, a natural next step to deepen One Spirit ministry, to One Spirit at this time.

Margaret “Meg” Wheatley has worked globally since 1966 in many different roles, as a speaker, teacher, community worker, consultant, adviser, and leader. Through these deep and varied experiences, she developed the unshakable conviction that leaders must learn how to evoke people’s inherent generosity, creativity, and need for community. She is a bestselling author of nine books, including Leadership and the New Science, and her latest, Who Do We Choose To Be? Facing Reality, Claiming Leadership and Restoring Sanity. She is cofounder and president of The Berkana Institute, a non-profit that supports emerging leaders and emerging ideas about how to organize in life-affirming ways. Berkana has worked in many countries, especially in the global South. Their newest work is to provide training and community for leaders from over 20 countries to take on the work of Warriors for the Human Spirit. Margaret received her doctorate from Harvard University in 1979 in Administration, Planning and Social Policy. She has received numerous awards from professional associations, universities, and organizations, and was inducted into the Leadership Hall of Fame of the International Leadership Association. The American Society for Training and Development named her a “living legend” and honored her with the highest award for contributions to workplace development.
