Glen

Glen is a devoted father and proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps who spent 30 years serving his community as a clinical social worker. Early in his career, Glen had the profound fortune of working alongside Alaska Native elders and traditional healers, where he was introduced to the Red Road. This path led him to participate in Lakota Inipi, Hanbleceyapi, and Sun Dance ceremonies—experiences through which he made a deep and lasting commitment to serve the people.

Years later, Glen attended his first ayahuasca ceremony and recognized its profound potential to help people reconnect with themselves, with others, the Earth, and Spirit. His path with the medicine eventually led him to train under Shipibo elders, studying their ceremonial traditions and ways of working with the medicine. Through this relationship and training, Glen received permission from the elders who taught him to serve within the Shipibo tradition—an honor and responsibility he carries with deep reverence for the lineage and the Indigenous people who have preserved these traditions across generations.

Glen brings structure, care, and grounded wisdom to the Pachamama Sanctuary team. His background in healthcare and social work, combined with decades of experience walking ceremonial paths and his training within the Shipibo tradition, makes him a steady and trusted presence for those he serves. Glen is also a certified transformational coach through Being True To You, with a focus on ceremony preparation and integration.
