Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, also given the name Kizhe Naabe (Ojibwe for "Kind-Hearted Man)," is a writer, educator, speaker, entrepreneur, and visionary whose life-long passion is to reform thinking and education into a coherent, cohesive whole. The founder and past president of the SEED Institute, Parry is currently the president of the think tank: Circle for Original Thinking. Parry organized and participated in the groundbreaking Language of Spirit Conferences from 1999 - 2011 that brought together Native and Western scientists in dialogue, moderated by Leroy Little Bear. These dialogues were the inspiration for his book Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books). He has also written about these experiences in a book chapter entitled "The Old is Now: Creating a Shift Toward Wholeness through Dialogue" (with Phillip H. Duran); in "SEED Thoughts on Dialogue," ReVision Journal (Winter 2004), "Native Wisdom in a Quantum World," Shift (IONS Journal, December 2006), and in his doctoral dissertation: SEED Graduate Institute: An Original Model of Transdisciplinary Education Informed by Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Dialogue. A regular blog writer for Reality Sandwich, Elephant Journal, and others, Parry has appeared in several documentary films, including "Journey to Turtle Island" by Spanish film maker Miryam Servet, and "SEEDing Change: A Retrospective of the Language of Spirit Dialogues," directed by Joyce Anastasia and produced by the Foundation for Global Humanity. He regularly facilitates workshops and dialogues, both in person and on various other webinars and through his website: www.originalthinking.us Parry's first career was as a rock and roll booking agent living in Woodstock, NY, and he also was a professional disc jockey for several years in his youth. Parry has been a talk show host and has participated in hundreds of radio shows as a guest. He is a long-standing member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the Theosophical Society as part of a life-long interest in bridging the arts and sciences.
