The Linden Collective is a community of leaders who use stories to bridge divides. Our leaders listen, share, and create space for connection, making room for different perspectives.
The Linden tree is my favorite tree. It has big, heart-shaped leaves, flowers you can make tea from, random second leaves, bark and seeds with healing properties. Every part offers something. When we were house-hunting, I saw a linden in the backyard and against better judgment and my husband's chagrin, hugged it. Instead of asking us to leave, the owner rented us the home—at a discount.
I named this collective after the linden for its mismatched, healing parts. Robin Wall Kimmerer writes in Braiding Sweetgrass that humans are "the younger brothers of Creation. We have the least experience and the most to learn—looking to other species as teachers." Trees are some of the oldest living organisms on Earth—they've been here far longer than we have and have had time to figure things out.
In a time of deep disconnection, I looked to these elders and started the Linden Leadership Collective.
Facilitating hard conversations, staying grounded across difference, and building bridges instead of walls. Plus a credential, a portfolio piece, and a network that gets it.
