Elena and Chelsea explore the parallels between ecosystems and organizational systems - touching on the importance of collaboration, the inevitability of change, and the beauty of cyclical growth. They speak honestly about the fear that can accompany change and the opportunity to meet it with flexibility, resilience, and a willingness to release outdated ways of being. Their reflections offer clarity on how nature’s wisdom can inform leadership rooted in harmony rather than control.
Chelsea shares her personal journey with grief and the sacred practice of dreamwork, offering insight into the power of intuitive guidance during uncertain times.

Chelsea is a living embodiment of the radical power of following your soul’s longing. Having been initiated into the Shamanic way of life at 13, she yearned for the remembering and living of ancient ways.

Her calling has led her near and far seeking radical immersion in service. She has assisted with births in a Tanzanian hospital, worked with Women in Action on economic empowerment, supported the Masai with women’s advocacy work, facilitated women’s healing circles in Greece, promoted women’s rights in India, worked in North Indian orphanages and at Mother Theresa’s Home for the Destitute, and double majored in Women’s Studies and Ethnic Studies at Mills College. She was the Leadership Development Director for the non-profit Shakti Rising and the founder of their leadership program Wolves and Waterways, she is a Feral Visionary and Executive Leadership Coach. She loves to get lost in the woods, and find her way back Home.
