What if many of humanity's greatest challenges stem from one simple illusion—that we are separate from one another and from the natural world?
In this episode of The Wisdom Movers Podcast, we welcome Dr. Glenn Aparicio Parry, award-winning author, philosopher, educator, and founder of the Circle for Original Thinking. Drawing from decades of research, Indigenous wisdom, philosophy, and contemplative practice, Glenn invites us to reconsider the way we think about ourselves, nature, and the world we share.
Our conversation explores the profound relationship between gratitude, consciousness, and interconnectedness. Glenn explains why fragmented thinking often leads to conflict, division, and ecological destruction, and how rediscovering a worldview rooted in kinship, compassion, and wholeness can transform both our personal lives and society. We also discuss the influence of Indigenous wisdom, the importance of honouring our ancestors, restorative justice, the healing power of gratitude, and the timeless ideas behind his books Original Thinking, Original Politics, and Original Love.
Rather than offering political slogans or easy answers, Glenn encourages us to ask deeper questions about what it means to be human, how our beliefs shape the world we create, and why remembering our connection to each other may be the key to building a more peaceful future.
Whether you're interested in philosophy, spirituality, psychology, leadership, ecology, or personal growth, this conversation offers a thoughtful and inspiring perspective on living with greater awareness, compassion, and purpose.
