Embracing 2024 with joy and genuine optimism, I'm delighted to welcome you to the new year with an open heart, deeper wisdom, and renewed strength. This newsletter, simmering since January, serves as a vessel to share the profound shifts within me over the past few years and their transformative impact on Gloetry.
In this newsletter, I am thrilled to share the reimagined Gloetry with you, shaped by our collective growth.?With this expansion, my aspiration is to offer you and your communities even more intentional, strategic, and compassionate support.

After seven years of collaborating with schools to nurture the emotional well-being of their BIPOC communities, we observed a recurring pattern: despite the safe havens our circles provided, individuals returned to environments perpetuating harm.
This led us to question: What might be possible if we could transform entire environments using circle philosophy as a foundational framework?
In New York City, Gloetry partnered with a performing arts non-profit for a strategic culture transformation journey. Working closely with their executive team, we assessed their current culture, aligned goals, and identified underlying factors influencing staff behavior in hopes to create more unity, improve communication processes, and increase productivity. This bold journey requires commitment and patience for meaningful change to take root.
Similarly, in Los Angeles, Gloetry collaborated with a charter school aiming to enhance belonging and facilitate compassionate student-teacher interactions. Recognizing the importance of a supportive climate for academic success, the school engaged us to strengthen their advisory program through circle practice. This aligns with their broader vision of transforming the educational landscape to prioritize trust, connection, and safety.
