“An integrated wisdom in leaders, balanced in the feminine and masculine, is essential to building a healthy and sustainable world. This life-affirming wisdom resides in each of us, centered in our sphere of vital and powerful relationships — with spirit, family, friends, earth, community, and all life.” Karen Buckley
